Hi everyone, I'm looking for some code that I can run on my Mac to do a specific task, I understand coding but I am really antiquated, shell & Perl is about my limit, so appreciate the help.
I have created a bunch of Smart albums in the Mac Photos app (big Sur), these albums organise my big chunk of photos into some meaningful order, however the smart folders don't appear to sync from the Mac to the iPhone, a normal album does sync, so for each smart album I have created an identically named album, I then manually copy all the photo's the smarts album discovers into the standard album. On the next sync the album & photos go over to the iPhone.
what I would like is a script that loops around each smart album, then another loop around the albums, if it finds an identically named album it copy all photos from the smart album into the album.
the reason I want to automate this is because I will continue to manually look thru the big chunk of unsorted photos, as & when I find photo's I previously missed I will tag up the metadata to match the smart album filters, so I need something to keep scanning & moving new photos out of these smart albums - hope that makes sense.
thanks in advance if anyone can help.
Mark.
