This is a svn2git converted repository of Tilman Sporkert's excellent Phoshare (http://code.google.com/p/phoshare/). While at the time of writing the latest version was 1.5.2, svn trunk was only at 1.4.1. Some of the features described on the homepage are therefore missing. But that doesn't matter, because this repo exists solely to satisfy my own export needs. If you want to carry on the Phoshare project, I would recommend doing a more proper conversion of the original repo, which probably entails converting all the branches (not just trunk). My change on top of the last revision on trunk at the time of writing adds a few hacks to the way the folder and image names are computed. Straight up hacks, meaning that I didn't want spaces in the name of the exported folder or filename. If you have the exact same requirements, then yeah, I suppose you can use this version. Otherwise, it's a bad idea. As a reminder to myself, I had to install pip and then get the gdata and pyttk modules. I was then able to run it like this: python Phoshare.py --export "/Users/mohanzhang/Pictures/phoshare" \ --iphoto "~/Pictures/iPhoto Library" \ --events "." \ --foldertemplate "{yyyy}-{mm}-{dd}_{name}" \ --nametemplate "{yyyy}-{mm}-{dd}_{index0}_{title}" \ --captiontemplate "{description}" \ --update \ --delete \ --verbose \ --dryrun More notes-to-self: complaints about missing libraries might also be because I used virtualenv: - First create a virtualenv if there is none: $ python virtualenv.py phoshare - For newly created virtualenvs, use: $ source bin/activate - Then get the two requisite libraries: $ pip install pyttk $ pip install gdata Original README follows below: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ phoshare allows you to export and synchronize your iPhoto library to a folder tree. It preserves both the original and modified image, your event and album organization, and applies your iPhoto titles, descriptions, keywords, and face tags to the IPTC/EXIF metadata of your images. You can export a full copy of your library, or just build a tree of linked images that require very little additional disk space. You can re-run phoshare at any time to synchronize any changes made in iPhoto to your export tree quickly. phoshare works well with file-system based photo management tools like Picasa or Adobe Bridge. phoshare is written in Python, and can easily be customized.
