Hi Guys,
I've been trying to acomplish this with Automator today while I was
sitting on the bus to the city but haven't been able to come up with
an idea that works yet.
What I want to do is every 2 to 5 minutes I want a folder of images to
be imported into iPhoto as a slideshow with the specific settings I
have in the clideshow i want to use (no ken burns effect, cube
transition, etc.).
I also need it to make sure that any image that has already been shown
on the slideshow already (or is more than 2-5 minutes old if not able
to sort by played or not) is removed from the new slideshow so that it
doesn't start at the beginning all the time and show the same photos
over and over again.
This is the rough workflow i think it would be (in the case of
automator at least)
FIND FOLDER
\/
GET FOLDER ITEMS
\/
COPY TO DUPLICATE FOLDER
\/
GET FOLDER ITEMS
\/
IMPORT INTO iPHOTO - DELETE SOURCE IMAGES
\/
IMPORT INTO iPHOTO SLIDESHOW
\/
FILTER OUT/REMOVE IMAGES THAT ARE MORE THAN 5 MINUTES OLD
\/
IF THERE ARE NO PHOTOS LEFT IN THE SLIDESHOW:
\/
FIND FOLDER
\/
GET FOLDER CONTENTS
\/
IMPORT INTO iPHOTO (DON'T DELETE SOURCE)
\/
IMPORT INTO SLIDESHOW
\/
PLAY SLIDESHOW;
\/
PLAY SLIDESHOW
\/
RUN ACTION AUTOMATICALLY EVERY 5 MINUTES
Thanks Guys
~Chris
