selecting in iPhoto based on file name


  • Subject: selecting in iPhoto based on file name

I'm trying to write an AppleScript that will select a photo in iPhoto2 based on the associated file path for the image file. I can do the inverse (obtain the image path of a selected photo), but not what I want. Can anyone help an AppleScript newbie here?

More lengthy explanation of what I'm trying to do:

I want to import digital photos into iPhoto and to store thumbnails of the photos in a FileMaker database. I'd like to be able to doubleclick on the FileMaker thumbnail and be taken directly to the partner image in iPhoto. I've figured out how to associate the original image file path with the image/thumbnail in FileMaker, so I just need to be able to select the appropriate image in an iPhoto library based on the image file path to do what I want using AppleScript. I've searched around the web and looked at the Apple iPhoto scripts without success.

Many thanks!

Song
