Aperture2Gmail

As I hinted at over at iphoto2gmail, I want to try to write a version for Aperture. Given the fact that Apple has a public SDK and a great sample plugin available for download, I figured the learning curve for writing this plugin would be considerably less steep.

So far, I was right. I have the skeleton of the plugin laid out, and I was able to get past some Interface Builder strangeness last night. Tonight, after writing this up, I am going to try to integrate the model methods and the PHP scripts see how far I get.

I wonder why Apple has never released an iPhoto SDK. instead making devs rely on reverse engineering existing plugins to figure out the quirky API. Lucky for me, stand up guys like Richard Newman, Fraser Speirs, Andrew Stone, and Dean Jackson all made their efforts public and therefore available to other devs wanting to take a crack at it.
