I had to use Automator, since the make image slides function didn't seem to work in Applescript. For Keynote, I created an Automator application ( 136KB download, macosxhints mirror) which allows you to select a folder or files, and it will resize them to 800圆00 and stick them in the frontmost presentation. It seems to reference a property in the script that neither my Keynote 2 or Keynote 3 seems to have in its script library, even when I install WiredFlux's Keynote Scripting Plugin. There's also a Keynote AppleScript ( download), which is supposed to convert an iPhoto Album to slides, but I can't get it to run. I found a few things that were supposed to work, such as this VBA script for PowerPoint that's supposed to do such a thing, but couldn't get it to run, probably because of path translation problems from Windows. However, it seems that neither Keynote or PowerPoint can do this natively. I was looking for a way to do what should be a very simple thing: create a presentation from a folder or selection of images, with a separate image on each slide in full size.
