OK so this has really freaking confused me. Back in iPhoto you could export your Events/Albums to folders based on Album name, it worked great. I had everything in Events for like 5yrs, so when I moved to Photos the other month it was fairly easy to move everything out of the "iphoto events" and into Albums.

Fast forward a few months, I'm moving away from Macs after 12yrs with them. Have a 2011 MBP which keeps failing (apple are repairing it for free) but sick of the failures and I cant afford another this spec in NZ, so I'm going back to PCs.

Anyway, trying to export everything from Photos you can only export by Moment name! Seems to be a massive issue on apple support forums as its a key feature removal and only lets you now export using a sorting method which only just came in.

Short of manually creating folders and drag/drop or export original each time, anyone have any ideas like applescript ways of doing it?
