How to Change iPhoto Last Import Event Name via AppleScript

Hello all,

I've been trying to figure out a way to change the event name of the last imported event using GUI scripting in iPhoto, but can't quite seem to get it. The only way that this seems possible manually is by clicking on the event name in the main event group view, typing the new name and pressing return. Or alternatively, clicking on the event name, then clicking on the event name text field in the "information" view in the lower left and performing the edit. But I can't get the editable text field to activate through AppleScript so that I can set the value of the text field in either case.

Any ideas?

I'm using iPhoto 7.1.5.

Any help most appreciated.

Best,
Dalmazio


tell application "iPhoto"
activate
select album "Last Import"
end tell

tell application "System Events"
tell process "iPhoto"

-- insert brilliant AppleScript here...

end tell
end tell
