How to import several pictures folders, including automatically created albums?

Hey there,

First of all, thank you for helping me with this one.

I use Picasa and organize semi-automatiquement all my photos on my hard drive. Given that Picasa will be abandoned, I want to spend all my photos/videos photos. What I get is, how to import a single folder in Photos and automatically creating a photo album. But I can't do with several files because I fight with Automator. I found some tutorials intestine on the web, but not for my particular situation.

What I did (see screenshot):

(1) departure of workflow must be the parent folder, and Automator should go in its subfolders and take one after the other.

(2) now I need a variable to record the name of the folder. The name of the folder must be the new name of the photo album.

(3) the final step is to Automator to import a record after another and create a photo album with the same name as the current folder.

If I do, I have the problem that all imported as one (without subfolders) and the name of the album is always like "... / Desktop. I couldn't find solutions to this problem. Does anyone know what I need to add to Automator to do what I want?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much!

  • How to avoid the pictures to open automatically?

    Thank you!

    Photos doesn't have an option to disable the launch of all devices.

    When the Import Photos Panel opens, you should see a check mark in the toolbar 'Open pictures for the device'.   Clear this check box and Photos should not open again for this device (until you reformat the card).

    The automatic launch can be disabled for each camera separately.

    You can try this fix: this Terminal command allows to disable auto-start for any photo application, not just Photos.

  • Can I import this module settings to automatically create variables?

    Hi all

    I try to reuse a Labview VI within TestStand as a module of code.  There are a lot of input and output parameters, and I need to create a separate variable for most of them (probably globals file) so that I can change values dynamically during test sequences.  I see in the code module loading, associated parameters are automatically imported into the parameters of the step, but I would like to know if there is a way to automatically create variables to "convert" the parameters of the code module.  I read a few threads on the creation of dynamic variable and property magazine steps, but these do not seem to have what I'm looking for.  Please notify.  And, as usual, if it looks like I'm wrong understand how TestStand, please correct me.  I am only a few weeks to use it.  Thank you very much.

    GSinMN

    The answer is no, you can't.

    You can ask TestStand create types of complex data for you.  There is a small button next to the parameter and it will create the type definition.  However, you should always create all instances and then move those to and from the VI.

    By default, TestStand will link the error message on the wire with the Step.Result.Error.  The rest are pretty much up to you.

    I guess the question/s would be: How does he know where to create the instances?  FileGlobals? People of the country? Settings? Globals station?  Step properties?  Constant value?  There are a ton of places that seem to be the options in question.  This can be a good feature request...

  • How you import several sets of text delimited by tabs in your form?

    Is there an easy way to put in the data from a text file of data values (separator: tab) with multiple instances of each variable?   In my current project, I want to make the name, address, phone, etc. of the data from the text file to a few hundred people in a PDF form that I create and format to my characteristics given.  I know that I can import text and select the instance of the variable I want to fill the similar named fields, but I was wondering if I could correctly name or create the fields on the form so that it would automatically fill each subsequent instance variables with the next line of data?  In this case, I would like to end up with a well formatted address book.

    Thank you!

    It is possible, but not just a simple data import.

    Each form on the page of several PDF field would need a unique name not repeated on another page of the PDF file. Fortunately, the standard Acrobat form includes the 'model' object and this object can be created or used to add a new page with the template added for each field on the new page form and form fields automatically renamed with a string to prefix to the number of the page. So if one were to import a line of your file delimited tab in the model, we could then reproduce the model with data from a new page and rename the fields so there would be no conflict of as named fields.

    I took pictures with 2 different cameras the same day. How can I combine sort of time so that they are in the order they were taken. Thanks I LR 5 and LR6

    Import and sort by capture time.  That's assuming that you set two cameras VERY closely at the same date and time.

    If this isn't the case, you can set the time for all the pictures from a camera using metadata/Edit Capture Time to sync with the camera.

  • Ix2 Lenovo how to download several files/folders at the same time?

    Hey, my team and I use the Lenovo ix2 because most of the free services, we discovered can legally steal your work. We have a log of things back and wish I could just download it in one fell swoop. It is that none of us are qualified to layout network or ilk. Which brings me to my question:

    Currently if you add a file you can add is a file at a time. Is there a simple way to be able to download a bunch of folders with files in them at the same time?

    Hello dmurtha,

    Here is a link to our support page, where you can find the manual of your device:

  • How to remove several files/folders at the same time (single, right?) HA!

    In the old days, you used to be able to highlight the files or folders you want to get rid of using the control key or left click or drag. I can't do it now! How the hell can I remove a bunch of stuff in a folder without having to click on each one separately and delete? I wish I had a more difficult question for you... lol.

  • How to import my pictures from my camera to my laptop?

    How can I download my photos from my Panasonic 35 mm camera to my laptop Windows 7?  Any help would be appreciated.

    It's a digital camera?  If this isn't the case, you will need to get the film developed.  When you do there is an option to get a CD at this time.  The CD made and then transfer from the CD to the PC.

    If it is digital, see the owner's manual.  Some digital cameras have a special software that must be executed to transfer.  Others you can just directly connect the camera to the PC and transfer the pictures in this way.

    Hi guys,.

    So I have a pdf file that is located in an A4 format.

    Printers have asked that I have create a bleed of 3mm on the edges.

    I know I have the ability to bleed when you create a new page by selecting A4 and just add 3 mm in the substantive area lost.

    I was told the opposite is to simply create a template to all the width and height of the A4 + 3 mm.

    When I select file/location and open the image, it will appear at random anywhere on the screen...

    I select with him has highlighted (blue line around the image) and try to use the panels to align without result.

    It does not move...

    It is too difficult to try to get it centered manually.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.
