Set theAlbumName to "PhotoDropBox" - change this to the name of the album you will use set this to true, if you want to pass the photos in a toplevel album When all photos are selected or in the album and all parameters set, press the "Run" button in Script Editor. If you want to pass the photos in a toplevel album, set ReadFromAlbum to true and change the variable "theAlbumName" to the name of the album you are using. If you want to select the photos without collecting them in an album, set the variable "ReadFromAlbum" to false Or collect the Photos in a top level defined album with a fixed name. Either select photos while viewing the "All Photos" album this works better than Moments or smart albumsĢ. The photos can be passed to the script in two ways:ġ. batch change the title of images to the filename All photos in this album will get their titles changed, when you press the run button in Script Editor. The photos are not passed by selecting them in Photos but by collecting them in a top level album with the fixed name "PhotoDropBox".
This version of the script is to be run directly from the Script Editor. Version 2: To be used with iCloud Photo Library For a more elaborate AppleScript, with more error checks and removing the filename extension, check out the script that NicFletcher posted:Ī sample AppleScript and some technical observations on Photosįor a discussion on how to improve this script, see: Re: Re: Where are photo file names? My script will just give you the general idea how to access filename and title in an Apple Script. I put a version of the Automator workflow here in my Dropbox: When you click the selected photos again, the titles should change.
Launch Automator, create a new service, and drag a "Run Apple Script" action into the workflow.Ĭopy and paste the text above into the "Run Apple Script" action to replace the default text in the action. The Automator script version does not work well with iCloud Photo Library on Yosemite or El Capitan.Ĭreate an Automator action, that executes an Apple Script to change the titles to the filename, if the title is empty: Note: If you are using iCloud Photo Library scroll down to "Version2" - the Apple Script version. To batch change the titles of photos without title, to make them visible below the thumbnails, you could try an Automator script I wrote to bring the titles back: Photos does not show the filenames as titles, and if a photo has no title, there is no identification visible in the browser, only in the Info panel.
In iPhoto the filenames have been as used as default titles and shown below the thumbnails in the browser.
