Hi everyone. I hope I'm posting this in the correct area.

I download the aperture caption palette applescript which purportedly would assist me in adding text to photos in Aperture. While it apparently does what it's designed to do (assisting mostly with making captions more legible), it wasn't what I needed after all.

I'd like to delete the applescript as I don't like to keep things on my system that I don't use. Can I delete it safely? The only traces of it I can find on my OS X system (20" iMac 2.66, 320 GB) is in my users folder/library/scripts/applications/aperture (the applications folder also contains the finder folder so I thought I'd better leave that one alone) and on the desktop under the name aperture caption palette documentation.

Can I get rid of it totally by removing these traces?

Thanks

Yes, just drag the script and the documentation to the trash. That's it.

What type of captioning assistance are you looking for?

Sal,

I was just looking for something simple to add names, date or location description to pics.

Were you using MacSpeech Dictate? The palette is designed to be controlled using voice dictation using Dictate. Using your voice, you can rate images as well as add captions.

I'll try that Sal. Is that a script or is it an app?
