Hi,

I am looking for an apple script to export images based on keyword hierarchy.
Let say my keyword tree looks like

Places
--------USA
--------Europe
--------Canada

I would like to create a script / process that will create a folder structure based on that hierarchy with the relevant images

/Places/USA
/Places/ Europe
/Places/ Canada

and so forth

Any idea how to do so ?

  I've moved this to the Scripting forum, where you'll likely see more interest and conversation regarding your query.

  That shouldn't be too hard.
  
  1. get the name and parent of every keyword
  
tell application "Capture One 11" to set {name_s, parent_s} to get {name, parent} of keywords of theVariant

  2 find the key word whose parent is "Places"
  
set found_it to false
repeat with i from 1 to count of name_s
if "Places = (get item i of parent_s) then
set found_it to true
set theFolderName to (get item i of name_s)
exit repeat
end if
end repeat
if not found_it then return

  
  3. The export AS command only exports originals. To export a variant you must use the AS process command, which uses a process recipe.
  
  The simple approach is to have a predefined process recipe for each "place"
  The more complex approach is to have only one process recipe
  ** manually set the root folder location of the process recipe to the "places" folder
  ** with AS set the output sub folder of the process recipe to "["&theFolderName&"]"
