Applescript and XMP faces

Post by billiesoniq »

GC has a great XMP face detector now, and it seems to store all the names correctly. I would like to use applescript to take the names from a photo and add them to the TAGS in macOS.

Is there any way to extract the XMP names from a file into a variable in applescript?

Hi,

this is not supported via AppleScript.

But I added a context menu command to the latest BETA:

So, using applescript IS possible, if that exists in a REAL MENU when the file is open; IE:

Code: Select all

tell application "System Events" to tell process "GraphicConverter 11"
    set frontmost to true
  tell menu bar item "File" of menu bar 1
        click
        click menu item "Open With" of menu 1
end tell 
...etc.

Hi,

ah - yes - you can use the system events.
The item is in the menu bar, too.
