Hello,
I’m in need of some help on a script I need. This may be a fair amount of work so I 'm willing to pay a little for someone’s assistance. First some background on what I’m doing.
I’m a photographer and use an application called Capture One Pro to process our Raw files to TIFF and JPEG. When we start a new job in C1Pro we always name the job a specific way which is a Job Number and Client Name pair (i.e. 0000-00 ClientName) so C1Pro creates a folder by that name in our Work In Progress folder. Inside the job folder “0000-00 ClientName” C1Pro creates three folders (Captures, Processed and Trash). Inside of “Processed” C1Pro will create a folder called “Raw_Exports” in which our final high resolution files are placed.
I need to test for and create a new folder, if it doesn’t exist, then zip each item individually and move the zipped file to the “Delivered” folder.
***Here is an overview of what I need to accomplish.
- Select “Job Folder” via prompt and place in variable “jobFolder”
- Create variables that contain the paths to “Job Folder:Processed” and “Job Folder:Processed:Raw_Exports”
(variable names “processedFolder” and “exportsFolder” respectively) - Test for the existence of the folder “Delivered” which should be at “Job Folder:Processed:Delivered”
and create the folder if needed. then create variable for “Delivered” called deliveredFolder. - Get a list of every file in the folder “Raw_Exports”
- Get a list of every file in the “Delivered” folder
- Compare the lists and omit files that have been zipped and placed in the “Delivered” folder.
- Compress each item in “Raw_Exports”, excluding items already compressed, individually using ditto as zip
and do not keep parent - add “hr_” to the begining of each compressed filename and remove original extension (i.e. name.tif.zip
remove .tif) - Move each compressed file to the “Delivered” folder
- Temporarily rename the folder “Delivered” to (“Job_” & jobNumber) (i.e. Job_0000-00)
- Upload to webserver
- Rename folder back to “Delivered”
- Display completion Dialog
Here is the script I’ve been trying to get working
(* Select the job folder *)
choose folder with prompt "Choose a job folder to upload HiRes files to the web for:"
set jobFolder to result
set processedFolder to ((jobFolder as string) & "Processed") as alias
set exportsFolder to ((processedFolder as string) & "Raw_Exports") as alias
(* Test for Delivered folder and create if it doesn't exist*)
tell application "Finder"
if not (folder ((processedFolder as string) & "Delivered") exists) then
make new folder at processedFolder with properties {name:"Delivered"}
end if
set deliveredFolder to ((processedFolder as string) & "Delivered") as alias
set the destination_folder to deliveredFolder as alias
set the destination_directory to POSIX path of ¬
the destination_folder
end tell

This script is probably messy as it has been pieced together from samples and tutorials and I’m obviously fairly new to Applescript at least anything of this magnitude. If this needs more explaining please contact me. I have placed a group of folders that can be downloaded that show the folder structure.

Many thanks in advance.
