Glad you found the script useful and thanks for stopping by!

I understand steps 1 and 2 of your proposed script, but I don’t quite understand step 3. Could you clarify? Do you mean you want a file structure like this?…
/My Exported Images/Jill’s Birthday/Jill’s Birthday-1.jpg
/My Exported Images/Jill’s Birthday/Jill’s Birthday-2.jpg
/My Exported Images/Vacation to Miami/Vacation to Miami-1.jpg
etc…

Also, is the purpose of this to create a backup of your photos? If that’s the case, why not just use time machine?

Lastly, I’m not sure if this is relevant, but you can already access the folders where your photos are being stored by going to ~/Pictures/ and Right-Clicking iPhoto Library. From there, choose Show Package Contents. Then open up the alias titled Originals or Modified.

First of all I would like to say that this post has been very helpful, thank you!

I’ve been looking for a similar script (Automator application) for quite a while now.

Basically I want to have an Automator application that saves a copy of my iPhoto pictures in a folder in Finder. Like a backup. Later on, I can save those “files” on my external hard drive.

1) Export the photos from a selected Album or Event on iPhoto. Using as title: “Event name” – “number” (I mean the number of the file: 1, 2, 3 …)
2) Save them in a folder in Finder that I want.
3) Organize the photos in different folders, the same way they are in iPhoto.

The idea I had, was that it would do this automatically every time I launch iPhoto, as if it was synchronizing the photos into that folder.
And then, every time I connect my hard drive, it copies these “real” folders into my hard drive.

Is that possible? If yes, could you help me creating it, or tell me how I can do so myself, or where to download something like it?

Thank you a lot! Kind regards,
Victoria Franke

Can you tell me where to set the “with_front” to false..?

Thanks

And finally, I can hit /projects/status/active/ no problem, but /projects/status/ 404s. What do I’ve to do to get a page that automatically queries all terms within the taxonomy in the URL ie. /projects/status/

I hope that all makes sense? Thanks in advance – greetings from Ireland!

Yeah, “nightmare” is an understatement. ::sigh::

----------------
(* Test if exiftool exists *)
----------------
 
set x to do shell script "exiftool > /dev/null 2>&1 ; echo $?"
if x is not "0" then
	display alert "Couldn't find exiftool. Please install it and try again." as warning buttons {"OK"}
	return
end if

Hope it may help.

PS: Interested in further improvements i’m planning to put into your nice little script ? I will customize it to upload exported images directly via ftp or sftp to a website. If so drop me a line

You’ll be fine. The plugin won’t overwrite existing custom post types or taxonomies.

I just ran a quick test and both manually-defined and plugin-defined can coexist peacefully. You can see a screenshot here: http://stephennomura.com/pub/skitch/custom_post_types_ui-20110628-165327.jpg

Yes, my version is a modification of the original.

Your questions are not dumb at all; I’d have the same concerns.

It’s been awhile since I tinkered with WordPress’s custom post type code, so I’m hesitant to give a definitive answer here. That being said, I’m pretty confident your existing custom post types and taxonomies will not be affected. They might not show up in Custom Post Type UIs interface, but they won’t be deleted or anything.

I’m curious about this, so I think I’ll run a quick test to see how the plugin interacts with manually-defined custom post types. I’ll post my findings.
