does anybody know how to run a slideshow in iPhoto automatically using UIBrowser?
I also want to be able to click the mouse button when the slideshow gets to a pic i want and move it from one folder to another.
HELP!
First, it’s not ‘UIBrowser’ you’re going to use to make that happen. UIBrowser simply shows you the objects you will need to refer to using your script.
Second, it appears that the Slideshow button is followed by a dialog requiring some user decisions about preferred music and some prefs. Hardly automatic, even if you got this far with a script.
Lastly, you’re asking to be able to capture a click event within iPhoto while the Slideshow is playing so that you can then move the current picture from one folder to another. AppleScript, regardless of GUI scripting’s abilities, isn’t geared this way. You’re asking to hook into the event handlers of a pre-written application. That would require what’s called ‘attachability’ and although desirable and quite handy, it is extremely rare in the AS world. iPhoto is no different.
I’m sorry to say that AppleScript probably isn’t going to be able to give you what you’re looking for in this case. I can’t really see what would.
Graphic Converter has a slideshow function. While the slide show runs, a small palette of buttons allows renaming, deletion, moving, etc. You won’t need applescript.
I was going on the asumption here that iPhoto was important or necessary for some reason.
As the post above suggests, there are certainly other ways of achieving this if you’re not married to iPhoto specifically.
thanks, it works great!
i might be a little greedy in asking,but is there a way to change the “move file” keys to something like the spacebar or enter key.
also is there some kind of scripting for the finder to change the file names within a folder, like the iPhotoSerialNamer script, but for just regular folders?
