I posted a different question about an Automator workflow earlier today and the response was so helpful, I figured I'd try and get this one answered too.
I have several thousand images on my computer which my father meticulously named as he scanned them in years ago. They have a rigid naming convention including the year they were taken, where they were taken and who is in the photograph.
I would like to use automator to automatically sort these images into folders based on the different variables in their names. And, if possible, add them to iPhoto and tag them (perhaps I'm asking too much).
For example, the file:
2001_grand-canyon_William.jpg
would get automatically routed to the destination:
2001/William/Grand Canyon
Is this possible? If so, how would I go about accomplishing this?
