Aperture email sharing (Outlook) not working since upgrade to mountain lion

Just upgraded to Mountain Lion and sharing of photos via email no longer works. I've seen posts of problems with Apple mail; but not sure if others are having this issue with outlook. When I choose 1 or multtiple photos to share vioa email; it goes through an export process, Outlook dialogue email opens, but NO attachements or files embedded.


This worked fine before upgrade; others experienced or have solution? I can certainly send photos the "old fashioned" way; but at 10mb a photo, not practical. Very frustrating.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.4)

I just noticed the same problem. I tried using Mac Mail and it works fine. I took a look in the plugins folder of Aperture and found a comment in the "Mail" applescript about a problem with inserting attachements before the signature, in the "Mail" script thay have done a workaround but not in the "Microsoft Outlook" script. After my coffee I will try to modify the "Microsoft Outlook" script in the same way.

I have found it. It seems that in Lion we had to convert the filename from Mac native to Posix format, in mountain lion this is no longer necessary. If you want to modify the script here are the instructions:


Finder->Applications. Right click on Aperture and choose "Open package contents"

Contents->Plugins. Open "Microsoft Outlook.applescript" (with the applescript editor)

You should see the following 3 lines:


-- convert the image path from UNIX to Mac

set this_imagefile_path to (POSIX file this_imagefile) as string

make new attachment at new_message with properties {file:(this_imagefile_path)}


these should be replaced with this line:


make new attachment at new_message with properties {file:(this_imagefile)}


You are not allow to directly edit this file so save a duplicate somewhere.

Rename the original script file.

Copy the modified file to the Contents->Plugins folder of the package. It has to be called "Microsoft Outlook.applescript"

You will probably be asked for your password a number of times.
