I actually don't dare to run a "diet" on my iPhoto library after I have seen how much it has changed after the upgrade to iPhoto 7, so I have one question for the iPhotoDiet developer that I think many of us would ask: does iPhotoDiet 3.1 work with iPhoto 7 (iLife '08) and, if not, do you plan to release an updated version supporting it?

Does anyone know where Martin Fuhrer is these days? I have a question for him before I use iPhoto Diet and his U.Calgary address seems to be dead.
destroys links for all rotated photos - Version: 3.1, 10/31/2006 06:56PM PST

Uh, well, it slimmed 4 gb off our 10,000 picture iphoto library, however, all rotated pictures are gone. Luckily I didn't empty the trash that iphotodiet made that contains all the unrotated originals.
The rotated pictures still exist in the Pictures folder on my Home folder, but will not show up in iPhoto - instead, we see the thumbnail, but when you zoom in, we just get a gray square with a question mark. Too bad this happened to 2495 pictures. I'm going to have a fun evening of work, thanks to iphoto diet.
If only there was a way to fix this...but iPhotoDiet's homepage is gone. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thank you.
My advice: do not use.

Great App - Version: 3.1, 10/29/2006 06:19AM PST

I have been using this app for a few days and consolidating 10,000 or more photos from dozens of sources. Tryed several different apps. IPhoto Diet is by far the best. My tip: Read the docs on the developers site. Must give 5 stars for their documentation. Very nice. I would also recommend using the move to new album option. Allows for easier comparisons then delete files from there. It appears some very small photos (ie. from camera phone) get flagged as thumbnails. This app is very fast. Good Job.

No problems. Good way to pare down size of iPhoto.
A must for iPhoto - Version: 3.1, 9/11/2006 06:03AM PST

Once again, a great update to the best (free) iPhoto duplicate manager.
Can't recommend it enough.
Remember to backup your photos first as always.

How about resizing? - Version: 3.0.8, 9/10/2006 11:12AM PST

Sounds like a great app, but i'd love it if it would also give some options to resize the massive photos my D70 takes. I don't need ALL my albums in full rez. They're GB and GB's of space on my powerbook! With a name like diet, i thought this would be perfect but i'll keep looking. :(
iPhoto Diet for iPhoto 6 - Version: 3.0.8, 8/21/2006 06:41PM PST

From the developer's site date July 10, 2006:
"...the good news is that my testing version of iPhoto Diet currently works with iPhoto 6. I am still working out a couple of small issues (related to iPhoto 6's new ability to link to photos stored outside the iPhoto library), but I'm hoping to get a release out before the month is over. Thanks for your patience!"
This is a great app. for managing Apple's method of retaining images. Wondering when the iPhoto 6 version of Diet will make its debut? Martin?

DO not use it with iphoto 6.
Me: "Are you updating this app? It seems to really screw up libraries. It's
a great app, but if you're not doing anything with it, please take it
sown at this point. It hasn't worked in years.
Thanks. VocalVirgo"
Him: "Hi Virgo,
Yes, I am working on an update for iPhoto 7. Sorry to hear about your
bad experiences with the current version of iPhoto Diet;
unfortunately, the use of GUI Scripting (a technique that iPhoto Diet
uses to remove unwanted originals) appears to be causing major
problems for some users, while for others it works without a hitch. I
am revisiting the code to see if I can replace GUI Scripting with any
other method; unfortunately, the limited programming interface
provided by iPhoto doesn't seem to present any other options. I will
keep the iPhoto Diet web-page updated as things progress.
All the best, Martin"
