Hi,

I posted to the list a while ago asking about an iPhoto importer.  I
couldn't find one that preserved photo modifications, ratings and captions
so I ended up writing my own as a Python script.

I've shared the code on github:
https://github.com/fasaxc/shotwell-iphoto-import

It seems to work so far but that's only on one library!  It doesn't support
videos yet and it skips files that I don't think are supported by shotwell
(such as gifs and psds).

I did have a go at writing the importer as a plugin for Shotwell itsefl but
I realised that it was going to need quite large changes to the plugin
framework to make it work (and a big time investment from me to learn
enough vala). Specifically, I'd have needed to add a way to import an
externally-edited version of a photo along with the original, which I think
is missing right now.

Thanks,

Shaun
