I just read through an article on another blog (Inside Aperture) concerning new Applescript stuff in 2.x. While I was reading it and looking over the dictionary I just realized something.

The application class in 2.1 has a new property: fullscreen.

The user can set and get the value of this property (it is a boolean property which means you set its value to true or false). The end result of setting this property is toggling the application fullscreen on or off. At this moment, I haven't come up with a good use for this but that doesn't mean one doesn't exist. Since Apple put it there, I'm sure its there for a good reason. I don't think its a good replacement/workaround for a slideshow because it takes some time to decode RAW files and thus the slideshow may get bogged down. But it may be useful for JPEGs.

tell application "Aperture"
set fullscreen to true
end tell
