Use Automator to create iPhoto Browser
May, 05 2006 12:20 PM Filed in: How-to
Wow. One of the best tips ever. If you use Tiger and
iPhoto you can use Automator to create a contextual
menu plugin that will bring up a mini iPhoto photo
browser anywhere, anytime. No need to open iPhoto to
use your photos!
1. Open Automator, and click iPhoto.
2. From the list of actions, select Ask for Photos, and drag it to the right-hand pane.
3. Save this as a plug-in, and optionally select Script Menu (the script menu that displays in the menu bar) so it is accessible anywhere. (If this menu is not visible, launch the AppleScript Utility in /Applications/Applescript, and check 'Show Script Menu in menu bar.')
Next time you need a picture from your iPhoto library, use your contextual menu or select this action from the AppleScript menu.
