I am trying to get a list of the photos in an iPhoto album.
I have a script that builds a list of albums and asks the user to
select the album they want, and this works fine, but I want one that
takes the currently selected album in iphoto and returns a list of
the photos.
It is giving me a type error and I cant work out what to do to get it to work.
I have stripped it right back to
tell application "iPhoto"
set this_album to get selection
end tell
which produces
{album id 4.294968078E+9 of application "iPhoto"}
in the bottom window, but as soon as I add anything to use this
reference, like this
tell application "iPhoto"
set this_album to get selection
set num_of_photos to count photos in this_album
end tell
I get the error
"iPhoto got an error: Can't make album {album id 4.294968078E+9} into
type reference"
I can't find any reference to coercing this into a usable form
online, or in the archives, any help gratefully received
Cheers
Nick Weldin
