This is my current project: an export plugin for Apple's Aperture application. The current application gives exported images random file names, but in the future I will enhance it to do more random things. I have taken the entries from the main blog page and put them into order so they read from top to bottom in each of the parts.

You can download the current release of Random Wok from the downloads page.

Part 1

Setting up, info.plist, basic code, randomization, interface design, hooking up the interface, making the interface work

Part 2

Initialization, better randomization, using bindings for the length pop-up, making the example file name update continuously, preventing illegal path characters, adding a progress bar, ending editing, adding randomness, creating the example file name

Part 3

Generating a random string from a UUID, generating the random name and renaming images, dealing with duplicate random names, storing the settings between runs, saving the default folder, making a customized button, displaying the image count with bindings, automating builds and using the debugger, creating a universal binary

Part 4

Better logging, adding a table of images, improving image table performance, caching table data, problems with arrays and key presses, preparing for localization, instructions to localizers, integrating localized data part 1, integrating localized data part 2
