Q: os x photos - export library with the correct structure
Hey guys,
I sorted my library the following way in OS X photos :
year (folder)
I-> album name
I-> ...
year (folder)
I-> album name
I-> ...
#etc...
Is it possible to export the complete library with this structure? I only found a way in photos where you can export the library using the moment name as folder name.
Thanks for your help,
Oliver

You can use the following Apple Script to automate the export of all albums into separate folders:
set dest to "/Volumes/Extreme 500/export/" as POSIX file as text -- the destination folder (use a valid path)
tell application "Photos"
with timeout of 6400 seconds
activate
set l to name of albums
set albNames to choose from list l with prompt "Select some albums" with multiple selections allowed
if albNames is not false then -- not cancelled
repeat with tName in albNames
set tFolder to dest & tName
my makeFolder(tFolder) -- create a folder named (the name of this album) in dest
export (get media items of album tName) to (tFolder as alias) without using originals
end repeat
end if
end timeout
end tell
on makeFolder(tPath)
do shell script "mkdir -p " & quoted form of POSIX path of tPath
end makeFolder
