I couldn't believe it didn't come with the program! I installed the plug-in... tested it and it crashed Aperature! Cool that someone is willing to take the time to solve the problem for others, but it didn't work on my system.

That should get the descriptive metadata into the DNG. John Micah

You'd better get your facts firmly nailed down before you post that article. Some of the other posts at Inside Aperture/Lightroom are getting more banal or repetitive, but I do enjoy your articles.

I will be looking into the XMP/IPTC portion of the project very soon. However, I kinda doubt there will be much support for saving your Aperture adjustments in the DNG file. I hope one day we can all agree on a standard RAW format that is open source and has the ability to hang on to application meta-data. Even if that meta-data is proprietary, it would be nice to be able to easily transport it - thinking of the DNG as a container or folder for all the work associated with that image. DNG is a pretty controversial subject as it is not really "open." I am planning to write more on this subject next week for Inside Aperture, so stay tuned! John,

I moved it manually and got the thing working as expected. Nice work (I did a similar thing for iView). Now... wouldn't it be neat if you could write metadata into the freshly-minted DNG (eg creating an xmp sidecar file on the fly and killing it after the DNG is created). I'm just thinking of IPTC initially, but one might even pass adjustment details to the DNG. These could even be approximations for ACR adjustments, but might also be a way of backing up Aperture adjustments into the DNG. A subsequent plugin might read those adjustments back into Aperture, so the DNG could carry adjustment data between installations.

I have just uploaded a new version that should install the plugin to your /Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins/Export folder. Please let me know if it works for you. Also, I have not yet tried it on Tiger, but I hope to do so in the next couple of days... Thanks m John,

How am I supposed to see this plug in? I’ve installed on Tiger but don’t see the plug in when I restart Aperture 1.5.6. Should it be visible under the Export menu.
