iPhoto Batch Enhancer 3.0.6 (5/16/2010)
New Features- This version 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.
iPhoto Batch Enhancer 3.0.5 (5/9/2010)
Bug Fixes- This version corrects a bug from the previous version that could lead to unpredictable results in some cases.
iPhoto Batch Enhancer 3.0.4 (4/5/2010)
New 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.
iPhoto Batch Enhancer 3.0.3 (10/18/2009)
Bug Fixes- 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...
iPhoto Batch Enhancer 3.0.2 (10/18/2009)
Bug Fixes- Added a workaround for a bug in Snow Leopard's handling of Apple Events that could cause sporadic timeout errors during batch processing.
- License keys now also work when the suffix '.xml' has been added, for example after being downloaded in Safari.
- Added a more descriptive error message when iPhoto has crashed. Also added a direct link to Apple support pages with information on rebuilding your library.
- Now an error sound is being played instead of a success sound after an error occurred during batch processing.
- Switching to other applications, for example Firefox, no longer opens a window asking for the application's location. It is advisable to let your computer do its job when iPhoto Batch Enhancer is running a batch job anyway.
- Creating, duplicating or deleting Snapshots no longer causes entries in the console log concerning the use of a 'deprecated function'.
- The extra message about transmitting anonymous data when looking for new versions has been removed since it was a duplicate.
- Now skipping missing image files works again. They sometimes can (not!) be found in damaged iPhoto Libraries.
