[regriemer]

Hello, I'm trying to make this work in Lion, but i'm getting this error

[Hyler-iMac-Quad:~/desktop] reg% ./ iphoto_export_script.sh

./: Permission denied.

Can anyone tell me why its not working for me in lion?

Thanks in advance for this video.

great video. best explanation ever. BUT I HAVE A PROBLEM: terminal tells me that the "operation not permitted". i am the only administrator of this computer, so why not permitted?

THANK YOU!!! I was feeling so angry after discovering that there was no way to do this in iPhoto.

I found this video/technique very helpful. However I would like the event folders created in the format "yyyy-mm-dd Eventname" instead of just "Eventname", where "yyyy-mm-dd" represents the most recent modified date of the photos in that Event. THis format would allow the event folders to be sorted by date, which is helpful in finding photos and also when creating other backups. Would it be possible to provide a modified script that does this?

After doing this, I still cannot understand why didn't put this simple thing into iPhoto..

Thanks alot!

Can't believe this functionality isn't included in the app. I just got a second external drive for backups of my photos and music. (Primary copy of both photos & itunes resides also on an external). with itunes U can just copy the filestructure but now that iphoto has a proprietery format the functionality of this script is necessary. there a script to update your filesystem backup when you add new photos to your iphoto library?

Thank you mate. I knew Mac wasnt for beginners and the faint hearted when I bought it a few months ago. A simple task like this needs so much workaround !! Thanks for taking the time to put up a nice and easy video...

Hey Bullychris, quick question... first of all, thanks, but is there anyway to export them out so that you have the original date of the picture instead of the date of export?? that way I can track when the picture was taken? Or is that stored in the properties somewhere?

[goldendisney88]

Thank you for this video! You will definitely help me save a lot of time copying and pasting all my photos and organizing them in folders in hard disk. However, I was just wondering do I just keep on doing this whenever I copy even folders to external drive? Won't it affect any commands in my MAC?

Thanks Just a quick question could you implement this on a network drive where you store photos? How would you do this? Thanks

It worked, it worked, I love you ! thank you. and we are running a MacBook Pro 10.5.8

Excuse my harsh word, but this is all crap here. The overall problem is of course that 'titles' you gave a photo are not discarded. Not a script problem but rather that iPhote does either export event names (plus sequential counter) *or* titles without event names.

[cherielily]

I wasn't able to do the terminal part...my computer wasn't reading the commands...but at least I was able to label the files - THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
