Could Rev do this?

[Mark Swindell]

So it looks  like Rev might be up for the job! Cool.

I guess iPhoto doesn't exist on the Windows side of things, but a  
polished x-platform solution that included iPhoto's cataloguing  
scheme would be a very valuable resource for millions of users.  It  
would have to be bulletproof, but I do think a modestly priced  
shareware utility like this, if it could be pulled off in Rev, either  
natively or using externals, would be a very successful thing for its  
creator, and a great ambassador for Revolution.
