An AppleScript to to find Images with offline files

Eric Valk
Here is my AppleScript to identify images (items) whose files are missing or offline. This may not be terribly useful if you have 100's of images in a Catalog, but if you have 1000's of images or 10's of 1000';s of images in a catalog, then finding items with missing files by inspection is tedious and inaccurate.

Once files have been identified as missing, then other actions are needed. These actions are not included in the AppleScript.

  • Check if the missing files are on a drive which is not connected. Easy Fix.

  • The file may have been accidently deleted. Check OS X Trash. Check Capture One Trash.

  • The file may have been moved. Use the search bar in OSXs Finder to locate the file

  • Failing that, open Terminal and execute: sudo find -x / -iname "*thefilename*"

  • Failing that, use Time Machine to retrieve the file

This AppleScript can report results by Dialog, by Notifications, through Text Edit, onthe ClipBoard, and by adding the images to a Capture One collection. This Applescript has its own GUI to configure its options and settings.

This Applescript can be compiled as an Application and added to the Capture One Scripts menu.

In implementing the GUI, the length of this Applescript has become 10% larger than PhaseOnes limit for a forum posting. Therefore I have broken it into two parts. The part in this posting is the first part, which is all the code specific to this AppleScript. The second part, which will be in a reply to this posting, is a common part which is used by all my AppleScripts.

Both parts should be copied and pasted into one OSX Script Editor document in sequence.

## Notes
## Applescript to search a COP 11 Catalog for Images with offline files
## Version 1.29 !! NO GUARANTEE OF SUPPORT !! Best effort
## Copyright 2018 Eric Valk, Ottawa, Canada Creative Commons License CC BY-SA No Warranty.

-- ***To Setup
-- Start Script Editor, open a new (blank) file, copy and paste both parts into one Script Editor Document, compile (hammer symbol) and save.
-- Best if you make "Scripts" folder somewhere in your Documents or Desktop
-- This file is suitable to use as an application in Capture One Pro's Script Menu

-- *** Operation in Script Editor
-- Open the compiled and saved document
-- Open the Script Editor log window, and select the messages tab
-- The user may elect to set defaults for enabling or disabling results in Notifications, TextEdit and Script Editor by setting the "enable" variables at beginning of the script
-- The user may change the default amount of reporting by setting the "debugLogLevel" and "ResultsFileMaxDebug" variables at beginning of the script
-- There is a GUI which allows the user to modify settings
-- If you are having some issues, then set debugLogLevel to 3 and send me the results from Script Editors log window, or Text Edit.

## Values in this section are safe to change, within limits indicated. Support is likely but no commitment

use AppleScript version "2.5"
use scripting additions

set debugLogLevel to 0 -- 0...6 Values >1 result in increasing amounts of debug data that takes longer to report
set enableResultsFile to true -- (true/false)
set enableResultsByDialog to false -- (true/false)
set enableResultsByClipboard to false -- (true/false)
set enableNotifications to true -- (true/false)
set enableResultsInCollection to false -- (true/false)
set ResultsFileMaxDebug to 2 -- 1...6 suggest not more than 2
set SearchAllImages to true -- If set to true, then only "all Images" is searched, If false, the current user collection is searched
set ExcludedSubCollectionNames to {} -- Collections in this list will not be searched
set maxSearchlevel to 100 -- Reduce if you only want to search top level collections Range 1.... Verified to 100
set enableFastGUI to true -- (true/false)


## ***** Not safe to change stuff below this line, unless you have some background in SW development.
## I generally won't help much if you change stuff below this line. I may explain the design intent.

    ## Capture One identifies a variant as "variant n of collrction m of ..."
    ## If the user changes the order of variant of a collection, "variant n" refers to a different variant, and a running script will behave unpredicatably
    ## The usefulness of this handler depends on some other part of the script obtaining a list of the variant IDs when the script starts
    ## The handler is provided with the variant reference and the original variant ID.
    ## This handler obtains the variant's ID from Capture One, and compares that to the original variant ID. If there is a difference, the script is halted
    ## This handler should be called when processing of a variant starts, and just before any operation that change something of the variant

    Excellent work, Eric - thanks a bunch for this script. I ran it on a 16K image catalog and it only took a few minutes to turn up some missing images. Easy to fix once I knew about them. Thanks again for such a useful script!
