No longer exports from Aperture

I’ve bought Poster twice now. Previously I bought it and used it to export photos from Aperture to Facebook. It was the best option as it uploaded photos in the maximum quality that Facebook allows, which most other tools don’t, AND it maintained the order I put them in, AND it included the caption I’d entered. All wonderful things which neither Aperture nor iPhoto could muster on their own.

Today I wanted to use it again, but my year-old version would no longer launch. The only way to get it to work seemed to be upgrading from v1.3.5 to the latest v1.4.1, which required re-purchasing it. I decided rather than spending hours trying to find another solution, I’d just poney up the $20 and get it from the App Store as clearly that’s the way of the future and what the developer wanted. To my chagrin however, it seems in the newest version export functionality from Aperture is no longer a thing. I was able to track down the installer for the Poster export plugins and re-install them to ensure I had the latest version, but still it doesn’t work. Aperture says it’s exporting, but then, nothing happens once it’s “done0.” Poster has no idea that Aperture has exported anything to it.

Perhaps it says somewhere that exporting from Aperture is no longer supported? Maybe if I’d spent more time reading the fine print I’d have spared myself wasting $20? It’s pretty annoying, that’s for sure. I remember this being a great product, and perhaps it still is for some uses I’m not sure of, so it pains me to leave it 1 star. But, alas, I feel compelled to seeing as it doesn’t do what I used it for anymore, and I just paid $20 to get it to. Bummer.
