March 19th, 2008 : DeChaos
DeChaos Photo Tools is my photo sorting program I wrote in applescript.
I needed a program to sort 18000 photos. I had most my photos in iPhoto, but was fed up with how slow iPhoto had become and was continually upset by delete photos from albums only to find that they were still in my library.
I wanted a program that would show me each photo, one by one, and ask me to type in a name for the photo. That way I could move through photos quickly and efficiently.
I’ll be putting up more documentation as I have time.
DeChaos Photo Tools is freeware.
