You could set up the symlink script to run daily (or however often you possibly sync your device) to at least generate the symlink folder automatically. If you are uncomfortable writing the plists for the LaunchDeamons, you can use an app like Lingon to generate them. At this point, they may not even need to be symlinks, just a copied 'export' if you will, using the same logic.
Either way, you are still stuck doing the 'iPod Photo Cache'. I think the only reason this is slightly faster when using Aperture or iPhoto is due to them having various thumbnails and other sizes rendered, but it still takes time to process, especially the first time.
Assuming smaller files would actually process faster, you could also update the script that exports the stared items with symlinks to actually copy the files elsewhere, and then resize them using a tool like sips
.
For example, sips -Z 1024 image.jpg
would resize the image down to 1024x768, retaining the aspect ration (more examples can be found on this blog, or elsewhere online).
You may have to find which process works best for you and your workflow, and where the bottle neck would be. Again, if this export could be daily, outside of the actual sync to your device, that folder could always 'be ready'.
Then, you just keep your iOS device sync the same, but it can process smaller files, and you have automated most of the process. The iPod Photo Cache may also be incremental, so if these files stay the same, and then just have new ones added, only the new ones are added to the cache as well.
Use Image Capture to import the pictures to your computer.
In iTunes, connect and select your device, then in the Photos tab select the folder that you put the photos when you imported them.
Press Sync.
Once you've done this once, it become easier. You already have the folder set up in Image Capture and in iTunes, so all you have to do is…
- Connect your iPhone (you can set up Image Capture to open automatically when you connect your iPhone in System Preferences).
- Click Import.
- Connect your iPad and click Sync.
Alternatively, you could purchase an iPad Camera Connection Kit, then use a USB cable to connect the iPhone directly to your iPad and use your iPad to import the photos.
