I have a folder of images from which i'd like to select only a portion of them. The ones i want are in a txt file as a list.
Can anyone help me figure out how to do this?
Once they are selected i'll manually copy or move them as needed.
my folder has
a.img
b.img
c.img

z.img
I want to select
c.img
g.img
k.img

Hi,
You can use this AppleScript :
read (choose file with prompt "Select the TEXT file wich contains names") as «class utf8»
set tNames to paragraphs of the result
tell application "Finder" to tell target of front Finder window
select (files whose name is in tNames)
end tellI presume that the names in the text file contain the name extension
It works if the encoding of the plain text file is "UTF8", if the encoding is "MacRoman" removes as «class utf8» in the script.
The source folder is the front Finder window.
Automator to select a specified list of files in a folder
