Applescript to automatically process images

Hi there,

Wondering if anyone out there can shed any light on the language needed to automatically process all files in a given folder that meet certain criteria, i.e. color tagged green, or 5 star, etc... And then, to not reprocess those same files when new ones are added--essentially referencing the process state, possibly from a plist....

Most of the examples i have found onlline refer to c1 3.7.x. Those that i have seen regarding c1 6/7 are mostly gui scripting--whole other problem....

Any and all thoughts and examples would be greatly appreciated.

  Have a look at http://www.phaseone.com/en/SupportMain/ ... -Page.aspx
  
  There is no simple way for you to access color tag or ratings from applescript. That I know of, happy to be proven wrong if you show me the code 😊 .
  
  You can add the processed files to a list so that they dont get processed twice.

  Assuming you have your C1 'Auto Sync Sidecar XMP' set to 'Full sync', for each sidecar XMP, call one of these to get the colour number and rating. There's probably a better way to do this, but:
  
  on getColor(xmpFile)
  tell application "System Events"
  set theRDF to XML element 1 of XML element 1 of contents of XML file xmpFile
  repeat with theDescription in every XML element of theRDF
  repeat with E in every XML element of theDescription
  if name of E is "photoshop:Urgency" then
  return value of E
  end if
  end repeat
  
  end repeat
  end tell
  end getColor
  
  on getRating(xmpFile)
  tell application "System Events"
  set theRDF to XML element 1 of XML element 1 of contents of XML file xmpFile
  repeat with theDescription in every XML element of theRDF
  repeat with E in every XML element of theDescription
  if name of E is "xmp:Rating" then
  return value of E
  end if
  end repeat
  
  end repeat
  end tell
  end getRating

  I've never been very successful at parsing xml with system events....
  for instance you SHOULD be able to parse the .cos file as well but for the life of my I can't work it out.
  
choose file without invisibles

tell application "System Events"
set xmlFile to POSIX path of result
set output to {Basic_rating:""}
tell XML element "AL" of XML element "VAR" of XML element "IMG" of XML file xmlFile
repeat with theElement in XML elements
tell theElement
if value of XML attribute "K" is "Basic_rating" then
set Basic_rating of output to its value
end if
end tell
end repeat
end tell
end tell

return output
-- does Not WORK???
