Interesting Hint for Media Browser
-
Hi. I just saw a post on macosxhints.com and find it very very
interesting. It seems you can instantly pop open the iLife media
browser via 1 command in Automator.

The short of it is this. Start Automator, choose "Ask for Photos" and
then save it as an application. Run it and you'll get the iLife media
browser. Apparently the same can be used for iTunes using "Ask for
Songs."
If I'm repeating anything here, I apologize but I'm just amazed that
this is such a simple task for Automator yet a burden for cocoa
developers.

I should add that you don't get the complete iLife media browser for
one application at a time, like iPhoto or iTunes.

It sounds like this is something you could access via AppleScript,
then. Useful tip! I'd never seen this interface before.
