Do you still support iphoto?

any ETA on this, Iphone 09 has been out for a while and it is the only thing stoppping me from using the service.

I can't understand why iPhoto 09 is on the back burner (probably totally cold, btw).
iPhoto desperately needs such an export tool. Even if Apple market share is small, I'd say 90% os Mac users use iPhoto and many of them are looking for a tool like Pixelpipe, so supporting iPhoto would be a nice springboard for Pixelpipe.

Yes! I really, really miss my PP plugin now that I have iPhoto -09.

After a few months, I am coming back here to check on PixelPipe and iPhoto, and no progress whatsoever!

This is ridiculous! It's soon going to be one year iPhoto 09 is out, and PixelPipe is still not compatible with it.
Every few months Brett comes in to reply to this iPhoto issue here and there with an evasive comment.

OK, so the original iPhoto plugin was developed by a third party... I guess Pixelpipe has lost contacts with that third party, and Pixelpipe developers have no idea how it works, they have no knowledge of Mac programming? Their hands are full with everything else?
But why wouldn't they contract a new third party development for an updated plugin?

I would venture to say that 90% of Mac users use iPhoto, and it seems that Pixel-pipe have no interest in the Mac community? Is that it? With the Mac market share increasing, that seems ridiculous to abandon it.
But if this it, please say so, and we can move on for goodness sake!

Pretty soon, a new version of Aperture is going to be out, and the plugin for Aperture will stop working as well! (not that I am using Aperture, it is not suited for me, too expensive to start with)

Instead of focusing to exporting directly from such and such application, why don't you at least develop a standalone program that export from a generic folder in the file system? At least this way, we could export photos from iPhoto (or any program!) to a folder, and then use that app to export to Pixelpipe! And this is not likely to break if Apple changes everything in iPhoto '10...
Using "Folder actions" (a Mac feature), the export to PixelPipe could occur automatically when photos are added to a particular folder. Maybe this is even doable with FTP transfers and some Applescript programming. I guess not too complicated, but I don't have the knowledge and time to do it myself.

Anyway, that would be just ONE Mac app to develop and it would be general purpose on the Mac, not just for iPhoto or Aperture. Not the ideal solution, but at least, we have a working solution.

Andy, you're a genius.

Exporting to a folder and having a program pick photos up from there is the perfect solution. Then whenever a new version of iPhoto, Aperture, or any other program comes out, it's automatically supported.

I originally posted this question because my photo-sharing site -- http://ourdoings.com/ -- depended on Pixelpipe for iPhoto support. But when a new plugin didn't materialize I started thinking about it and came up with basically the same idea you did.

I integrated with Dropbox, the online backup/collaboration service. Users share a Dropbox folder with OurDoings and photos they drop there get uploaded automatically. Usage has really been soaring since I made that enhancement.

It wasn't easy, since Dropbox doesn't provide an API, but it was doable. Hopefully pixelpipe will implement something similar. Then you'll have the same functionality for every photo site. It works great.
