Export versions with ratings (IPTC)

Hi,

Is there any way to export versions with included ratings (stars in IPTC)? They are absent on versions export but are included only in XMP sidecar with exporting originals.

I would need ratings exactly in exported versions. Maybe there are some apple scripts or automator actions?

Thanks!

MacBook 2g, Mac OS X (10.5.5), Aperture 2.1.1

Hm... when I rate photos in iViewMedia Pro or Lightroom they export (or embed) ratings in IPTC just fine. So any other application can recognize them. But Aperture (and apparently iPhoto) are not capable to do this?

More over files with rating are importing fine to Aperture (setting appropriate rating in the Aperture library). But no export. Can't get the trick.

It is rating field. If you'll look into jpeg you can clearly see: <xap:Rating>5</xap:Rating>


You’re right. It is a Ratings Field. But it’s not an IPTC field, that’s an XMP field. There is no IPTC ratings field.

As this page clearly lays out:
