How do i put all imported photos into their origonal albums

Hi,


Ive dragged a load of photo albums from an external HD into photos but it hasnt kept them in there albums just 3000+ photos spread out.

Is there a way to put them into there original albums without doing it manualy 1 at a time.

I cant delete them all and start again as all my iphone pics are mixed in.


Many thanks

You can import folder of image files into Photos and have them be in albums with the same name as the folder if you use this Applescript from the Photos for Mac User Tips page: Import Folders of Image Files into Library as Albums.


You can download a compiled version of the script as an application from this tutorial site: P01 - Applescripts from Photos’ User Tips Compiled as Applications
