I'm stuck setting file metadata from parent folder name
Hi everyone
I really hope someone can help me, I’ve been going around in circles on this. I’d like to rename all the album name metadata in my music collection, setting it to the parent folder name. The iteration that I think is needed is:
for each folder
for each file
store folder name as string
set file metadata = subfolder string
end
end
So far I've managed to iterate through subfolders, but just accessing the files of the folder is where I'm stuck. Because I have album year often prefixing the album name, I get an error because it thinks it's an integer. (after this I'll still need to change that filename's metadata, which I'm not at all sure of either)...
on run
set ArtistFolder to (choose folder with prompt "Select the start folder")
RenameMetadata(ArtistFolder)
end run
on RenameMetadata(aFolder)
tell application "Finder"
set subFolders to every folder of aFolder
repeat with eachFolder in subFolders
my RenameMetadata(eachFolder)
set theItems to every file of folder (eachFolder)
repeat with theFile in theItems
set firstString to name of theFile
log FileName
end repeat
end repeat
end tell
end RenameMetadata
