I've tried several variations of this subroutine:
to trashAlbumPhotos()
with timeout of (60 * 20) seconds
tell application "iPhoto"
set the alb to the current album's name
set the albPhotos to the photos in album the alb
repeat with ph in alb
add ph to the trash album
end repeat
remove album alb
say "The album and all photos in the album have been deleted."
end tell
end timeout
end trashAlbumPhotos
The subroutine as it is will just move the photos in the specific album
to the iPhoto trash, but the photo is still in the Photo Library. I'd
really like to delete the photos from the "Photo Library" but have not
had any luck with:
delete ph
remove ph from album "Photo Library"
I've heard that the ID of the photos in iPhoto isn't really unique, so
I've been avoiding it as a means to identify the photo to delete. Since
this is permanent, I don't wish to unintentionally delete the wrong photo
and find out later. But it's quite tedious and time-consuming to have to
skip up to the Photo Library, find the right roll, select it, delete the
roll, then empty the iPhoto trash. I feel like I've been stuck on this
last part of this long script for ages. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
