iPhoto 5, Gallery 2, and iPhotoToGallery

Hi everybody.

It’s been awhile, but work on iPhotoToGallery hasn’t completely stopped. A pretty good update is in the works, but before that, I need to say something to those of you emailing me about the plugin breaking iPhoto 5: First, shame on you :). Second, I’m aware that something has changed that’s broken iPhotoToGallery, and I’ll release an update to the plugin soon after iPhoto 5 is officially released.

Many of you are also asking “Will Gallery 2 be supported?”. The short answer: Yes. The long answer: As you know, G2 is still a beta product and very much a moving target. There are big plans for a very nice API to allow external programs to access it, but that’s still just in the planning stages. For the short term the developers have implemented a couple of the methods available to Gallery 1.x just to get some sort of remote access available. I will start using those soon so your Gallery 2 installations will work until the real API is available.

Thank you everyone that’s emailed me, either to report a bug or just to say “thanks”. I appreciate it.
