I select photos
I deselect photos

In this case the service simply won't show up under iPhoto-->Services submenu (all I see is the default "No services", greyed out, not counting "Services settings", of course).

Once I select it not to have any input it becomes visible and can be triggered when I select one or a group of photos in iPhoto. The problem is that whenever it starts running it immediately quits once I select the destination album I want it to target to.

Too bad I can't post a screenshot (the message would exceed size restrictions for posting messages here) to make it more evident and understandable. My service consists of only one action - "Add photos to album" (the action has iPhoto icon and its description reads that its input is iPhoto photos, output - iPhoto photos added to the assigned album or a new album). Actually I used a wrong title for this action in the subject header: its sounds "Add photos to album".

Regards,

I.S.

Hi Ilya,

so the service does not appear in iPhoto when choosing e.g. "This service receives selected image files" in Automator? Even after selecting some images in iPhoto?

Hi Lukas,
because otherwise it disappears from services submenu in iPhoto ("No services")'

Hi Ilya,
why do you choose "Receives no input" if you want it to receive input?

Hi all there,

I recently went through all the hassle of setting up a simple process which is to be designed so that selected images in iPhoto would be added to an album. I went with building up a service to be triggered in iPhoto proper. I stopped by choosing "Receives no input" "in iPhoto". When I select some iPhoto pics I see the name of my service appearing in contextual menu and once initiated it starts running but then aborts thus failing to achieve the expected goal - to add the photo to the album I want it to. The service consists of only one action "Add to iPhoto album". Please could I earn some your advice on what I did wrong? The problem is that the service is visible in contextual menu only when I select it not to receive any input data (which means I assign it manually to the type of data I desire).

Best regards,

Ilya

P.S. I failed several times to send the message. Sorry if you see more than one copy.
