iView Media Pro

So I've been looking at moving my iPhoto picture library to.... anything other than iPhoto. iPhoto has been unreliable, and slow to the point of unusable for me. Unfortunately, nothing really managed to cut it as a replacement until I had a look at iView Media Pro.

Damn, it's fast. It has a pretty decent first-pass editor for the times I don't need to bring up Photoshop. It handles keywords well. It has a range of ways of slicing-and-dicing the view of the library which seem to fit my head pretty well. And best of all, it's scriptable, so I spent a happy hour or two this evening rewriting my Memories exporter to work with it. So it looks like a winner.

I also refactored said exporter to have a separate Memories::API module, and I spent a while making Memories have RSS feeds for any page with pictures on it. A happy afternoon's recreational coding.
