That way a new user with no network connection would get a specific version of the icons, but if there was an iPhoto update you could update your icons and throughout the week the app would grab the new ones from the server. No need to rev the app.

It's a sledgehammer to crack a nut. I really dislike a complicated solution when a simple one will do. In this case, the correct, best and simplest solution is a media access API to allow third-party developers the same privileges as Apple's own apps.

Perhaps, but that's what the iMedia Browser does (did?) and I used elements of that code.
