I wanted to let you know about 2 new email lists hosted at TheMacintoshGuy.com, one for Automator and the other for Dashboard. Both lists are intended for regular end user type discussion. Heavy development type questions should be relegated to some of the other development based lists that have been created such as Apple's Dashboard-dev list. We would also like to welcome Tiger users to all of our Mac OS X based lists: X Users X Newbies X Servers X Software X Hardware X Unix X Dreams Eric Listmom From jsstormshak at comcast.net Sat May 7 09:15:24 2005 From: jsstormshak at comcast.net (Jeffrey Stormshak) Date: Sat May 7 09:15:25 2005 Subject: [Automator] (no subject) Message-ID: Has anyone tried to use Automator to get Photos from iPhoto, pass them to the "Review Photos" Action so that you can "Edit" its Title and Filename? If so, how did you pull that off? All my results displays each image but the Field isn't editable. What purpose does that serve when you need to Edit and change over (1400) iPhoto Image Titles... (Yes, I know I can directly Edit within iPhoto but it would be nice to select/query certain photos first, etc). All feedback here would be greatly appreciated - Thanks in advance - J.

I'm trying to put together a workflow to copy images off a compact flash card (via a card reader) into a local directory, and then import those images into iPhoto. When I add the "Import Photos into iPhoto" action to my workflow (even when it's the only action) Automator does the spinning beachball thing, and doesn't come back. At least, it doesn't come back in any reasonable amount of time. I've got 3-4 thousand images in my iPhoto library, as I recall. When I do the same steps on my powerbook with only 2 images in the library, it comes back, but slowly. I know this has been reported as a bug with Apple, but I'm wondering if anyone's found a work-around? I'm thinking this fairly simple action can be performed via applescript, so I could probably cobble that together without too much work, but I was hoping for a less drastic work-around. Thanks, B -- __ ____ / / / __/ Brian Lalor / _ \/__ \ blalor@bravo5.org /_.__/____/ http://bravo5.org/ From richard at wmblake.com Fri May 13 04:14:53 2005 From: richard at wmblake.com (Richard Blumberg) Date: Fri May 13 04:14:59 2005 Subject: [Automator] Paste from Clipboard Action? Message-ID: <09E05809-50C3-41B7-A582-4DD4BE6D9EF6@wmblake.com> I'm just starting to fool with Automator and BBEdit. I used the Copy to Clipboard action to save an intermediate value, but I can't find the equivalent Paste from Clipboard Action to restore it. Am I missing something? Thanks.
