Apple

I have too many picture for a single library, so I split the collection into two. I used Automator to create essentially two custom iPhotos each with their own icon in the dock. I used the "Switch to iPhoto Library" action followed by "Import files into iPhoto" so that I could either click to launch a particular library, or drag and drop pictures on either of my libraries. Only problem is that it leaves off at the "last imported" rather than my default events.

Is there a way to ignore the second action if there are no photos to import? (I don't want any user interaction with the script except either click to launch, or drag and drop)

Thanks,

I have a script that extracts all of the links on a particular

search/replace on all the urls that are returned and pass the

results to another action. I managed to figure out a hacky way that

involves exporting to a text document, then using a manually

recorded macro that presses command-f, types in the two strings,

then presses enter... Then reimports from the text document so I can

pass the result to the next action. But clearly this is a

ridiculous solution.

Is there a better way?

Well, you could spring the $5 for the TextEdit Action Pack <http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/automator/texteditactionpack.html

, which includes a "find and replace in text" action.
