Applescript for Making album from filename in text/clipboard

Hi there,

I would appreciate if some appliecript guru can help me out here , I have names of files in a text file / clipboard from which I would like to make a smart album / normal album. Is there any way to automate this process .

Currently I am using smart albums -> text-> filename A, , text->filename B etc for 50-60 items.

Help

I hunted the net and found Make album from a list of version name, but alas it was no where to be found as aperture assistant is no more.

Aperture 3, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

I works for me on a 10.7.3 OS with Aperture 3.2.3.

As I said there was not much error checking or other UI niceties so if the text file with the version names wasn't in the right format (coma separate as I wrote) or there were other abnormalities in the library this is possible.

The script should give you enough to go on to try and get somthing running that will work for you.

Good luck

regards

If you could supply any other information othr then it just hangs I might be able to have a look at it. Also supply a copy of thre file you created.
