April 2nd, 2012· Corrected a problem with iPhoto when switching between scripts and other types of image enhancements. The problem affected Mac OS X 10.7. Lion and iPhoto 9.2 or later.
August 8th, 2011· Some of the iPhoto 9 effects 'Lighten', 'Darken', 'Contrast', 'Warmer', 'Cooler' and 'Saturate' were previously mixed up. Now they are being applied correctly.
· Error reports generated on Mac OS X Lion now contain logging data.
· The launch sequence in Mac OS X Lion has been smoothed a bit.

June 27th, 2011New Features:
· iPhoto Batch Enhancer is ready for Mac OS X 10.7 Lion.
· Batch processing now works while iPad, iPhone, cameras or memory cards are attached to your Mac.
Bug Fixes:
· Contains a workaround for a problem in iPhoto 9 that would result in the error message 'Can't make of id 1.2345678E+9 of application "iPhoto" into type Unicode text.'. Thanks a lot for all the error reports!
· No more unnecessary iPhoto restarts after a batch run in iPhoto 8 or previous versions.
· Fixed a problem that would display an incorrect number of runs when used with iPhoto 9.
· Fixes incompatabilities with iPhoto 9 when a movie is part of the batch.
December 20th, 2010· Error messages caused by asynchronous behavior of iPhoto 9 are now suppressed.
· When applying scripts sometimes a completely different photo other than the first one was altered. This has been fixed.
· iPhoto's message that you cannot edit movies is now being discarded automatically. When applying scripts this message no longer causes errors.
· In iPhoto 9 sometimes RAW photos weren't detected correctly which resulted in a blue tint when applying Snapshots. This has been fixed as well.
· iPhoto Batch Enhancer no longer displays an error message, when the adjust palette values hadn't been copied at least once.
· In iPhoto 9 the display of the remaining duration no longer vanishes at the beginning of each run.
· Auto-Updates of iPhoto Batch Enhancer work again.
November 8th, 2010· Bug Fixes - Depending on your Mac's language settings applying a Snapshot or enhancing photos could result in an immediate error. This has been fixed now.
November 7th, 2010New Features:
· iPhoto Batch Enhancer is now compatible with iPhoto 9 (from iLife '11).
· iPhoto 9 only registers changes in its internal clipboard of adjust values when being restarted - that's the reason why iPhoto 9 restarts more often while iPhoto Batch Enhancer is applying Snapshots.
Photos are being duplicated in iPhoto 9 prior to external editing. To aid in differentiating the two copies iPhoto Batch Enhancer assigns the following keywords:
· Original (IBE) for the original photo
Copy (IBE) for the new copy: Since duplication in iPhoto also copies all assigned keywords the new copy may also have the keyword Original (IBE) assigned to it. In addition iPhoto Batch Enhancer adds original and duplicate photo to the following albums (if activated in the preferences):
· iPhoto Batch Enhancer - Originals
· iPhoto Batch Enhancer - Copies
· When a photo is being edited in iPhoto 9 and a single Snapshot is being applied the black, gamma and white values are ignored. Applying them would need a restart of iPhoto, which in turn would save all current changes to that photo.
Bug Fixes:
· Applying Snapshots from iPhoto 7 or older now work as expected with saturation values. This problem also manifested itself with the initial Snapshot examples of iPhoto Batch Enhancer.
· Preservation of saved adjust slider values wit iPhoto now works correctly with saturation.
· The Script 'Free rotate' now accepts parameters from -360 to 360. Before that it would only accept 1, which might turn out a little bit boring.
September 23rd, 2010New Features:
· Added two new scripts: 'Crop by pixels' and 'Crop by percent'.
Bug Fixes:
· Added validation after editing script parameters.
· Fixed handling of certain definition and saturation values when applying a Snapshot. Thanks to Joe for alerting me to the issue!
May 17th, 2010· Adds a new script, that lets you change your photo's aspect ratio. The name is 'Crop with format'.
· In addition to choosing the new aspect ratio you can select whether a photo's portrait or landscape orientation should be preserved.
May 10th, 2010· Bug Fixes - This version corrects a bug from the previous version that could lead to unpredictable results in some cases.
April 6th, 2010New Features:
· The screen saver no longer starts during batch conversion. This used to be a cause for errors, when the batch job was using other functions than iPhoto's enhance. Plus - the solution doesn't involve any tinkering with your screen saver settings!
· iPhoto Batch Enhancer now presents a warning in the rare case that program initialization has failed.
Bug Fixes:
· The application's preferences are being read correctly no matter whether boolean values are saved as text or numerical values.
· The message IBEGenericError is now being replaced by more meaningful text.
October 19th, 2009· This version contains the activated workaround for the Apple Event bug. The last version contained the code for the workaround, but it was never executed...
August 31st, 2009New Features:

· Added import of actions saved malformed with Mac OS X 10.4.
· Fixed an error on launch after a new major release of iPhoto has been installed ('File :msng wasn't found. (-43)'). This will help when iPhoto 9 is released... ;-)

· Fixed some bugs that prevented Scripts from working when the application was launched from a location on a FileVault user account on Mac OS X 10.4.
