    Great app. is there anyway to port that over for aperture or lightroom for the mac?

    @Felix : It seems like lightroom's support of AppleScript (what our little tool is written with) is limited / not really existant. Aperture holds out some more hope though.

    All the basic actions of the app (monitoring the folder) would work for anything - would just need to change the few lines in the code that does the importing.

    I'm running this on Leopard and I still get the eyeFiToiPhotoBackground script show up on the dock every time, taking up room despite the note above. Am I doing something wrong? Hiding it doesn't work.

    @ywu -

    Thanks for pointing this out! I've discovered that the technique we used to turn this into a background app isn't compatible with Leopard. However, I've tried a new method which is!

    Check out the forum post -
    http://photojojo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=4430
    where I posted instructions and a new version for download.

    And please let us know if you come across anything else. Having feedback from a Leopard user is particuarly useful as I'm working on Tiger and can't always catch everything.

    Thanks Susan, that's sorted the problem out!

    About Eye-fi and Lightroom: you can set Lightroom to watch any folder. Have it watch the folder eye-fi imports into and Bam! (well, slower than Bam!) the photo opens in Lightroom.

    I notice from another site that with iPhoto'08 you can drop files into "/Users/YOURACCOUNTNAME/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Auto Import" directly from the Eye-Fi Manager and iPhoto will import automatically too. It deletes the files in that watch folder after adding to the library. Not sure how well it performs though as it's not a documented feature.

    Will RAW images work when only using Eye-Fi together with iPhoto?
