It's honorable that you have written this up for us, but AppleŽ has dropped the ball here. Users should not have to fire up a Perl script to get rid of extra images we don't want. I don't want to have to learn Perl to do this. I know Applescript, but should I have to use it for this.


Also, I am still using iPhoto 2, so it is a little disheartening to learn that my copy of iPhoto 4, which I have not loaded yet, may not increase the speed of iPhoto. I will give it a try once I decide to go with Panther full-time. Anyway, thanks for the article.

    I can understand your disappointment, but I have a different perspective. I would like to control other applications with whichever tool I decide to use, whether that is AppleScript, Perl, or something else. I cannot expect the application designers to anticipate everything I might want to do. Indeed, I would rather have the iPhoto developers concentrate on getting rid of the file-based storage system they use on the backend.
