Hi everyone,
I'm having some problems getting iPhoto to select all photos in an
album whose names are contained in a given list. Here's the script
which I would have thought should work, but it comes back with the
error:
iPhoto got an error: Can’t make {"Photo1", "Photo2", "Photo3",
"Photo4"} into type reference.
—
set nameList to {"Photo1", "Photo2", "Photo3", "Photo4"}
set albumName to "My Album"
tell application "iPhoto"
activate
select (every photo in album albumName whose name is in nameList)
end tell
Any ideas how to make this work?
Hello Dalmazio,
It seems there is a problem with the "is in" operator (and its mates
"is contained by", "contains"...) when used within whose clauses in
iPhoto:
tell application "iPhoto"
tell album "Photos"
photos whose name is "P7220017.JPG"
photos whose name is not "P7220017.JPG"
photos whose name begins with "P72200"
photos whose name is in "aaaP7220017.JPGbbb"
--> can't make "aaaP7220017.JPGbbb" into type reference
photos whose name is in {"P7220017.JPG", "P7220018.JPG"}
--> can't make {"P7220017.JPG", "P7220018.JPG"} into type reference
end tell
end tell
So, I fear you would need to build the list of photos to be selected
yourself, with something like this:
tell application "iPhoto"
activate
tell album "Photos"
set L to {}
repeat with N in {"P7220017.JPG", "P7220018.JPG", "P7220019.JPG"}
copy photo N to the end of L
end repeat
end tell
select L
end tell
But...
Here (10.5.6 with iPhoto 7.1.5),
select L
doesn't do anything (and returns missing value).
I am limited to the selection of a single photo, for example:
select item 2 of L
or:
select photo "P7220018.JPG"
I must be missing something.
