BTW, there’s one compatibility issue when dealing with iView MediaPro from appscript that may or may not have been fixed since it was reported a year or so ago. IMP’s scripting support contains a couple of obscure glitches in the way it packs and unpacks element index numbers that cause it to error if you pass it a previously returned reference. (I’ve no idea if Scripting Bridge is also affected, although it tends to be much more temperamental than appscript so I wouldn’t be surprised. AppleScript’s not affected as its own shortcomings happen to mask IMP’s.) Appscript’s highly customisable, however, so it’s easy enough to work around the problem if you do run into it.

We're still using iView 3 but when Expression Media starts to get new features we may switch. So yes, an enthusiastic yes to supporting MetaSync in Expression Media. Thanks for your work on the current MetaSync.</p> Hi Scott- I don’t know how many times MetaSync has saved the day when a photographer’s catalog full of RAWs needs to be synchronized with an editor’s catalog full of JPEGs.
