I wrote a while back about my thinking about storing images as “assets” (posts) in WordPress. I manage my photo collection with a desktop app (Photools’ iMatch). How to link the two? Luckily iMatch has a scripting environment (actually, that was one of the reasons that I chose to use this software), and so I wrote a script that uploads photos from my PC to my web server, and uses the category, title, caption, and other information from the iMatch database to create image asset posts in WordPress. Now I can just go into iMatch, select a bunch of photos, and hit “Post to WordPress”, and they appear online in the right category! Here’s the imatch_to_wordpress script (it’s VBA/Sax Basic), in case you’re interested.
