I need to export all my albums from Photos. I've got about a thousand, which will take me a couple full days to get through, so I need some way to automate it. Unfortunately, Photos eliminated this option. Does anyone know of an AppleScript that could collect all the album names and export each to a same-named folder, or at least the pieces I'd need to put together to make a script that would do this?
Photos-OTHER, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

How can I create a new Photos library for testing?
Hold down the Option key, then open Photos.
No luck with a brand new photos library. I still get errors exporting all albums. In the script response history, I find this error repeatedly for most albums:
--> error number -1728 frommedia itemid "ZqGGZjMGQnCZMViJG0QmXA" of containerid "RBqeZUmuRES0IQQV+rNdHA"
I surrender. I'll test again when I upgrade to OS X El Capitan.
Thanks for your help, Pierre!
Confirmed: Yosemite's Photos app is bugged. I've been able to test the script using the same photos library on two virtual machines: Yosemite on one, El Capitan on the other. In Yosemite, the same error arises. In El Capitan, everything works fine.
Very interesting. Thanks for your feedback.
