Automated Flickr Upload - Almost there :)

[Catterpillar]

Hi everyone!

I made a script that allows me to send pictures to my flickr account by email, and it doesn't work very well. I"m new to all this, so I think I'll need a little help here The iPhoto import thing doesn't work, and I'm having issues with mail.app...

Thanks in advance!!

Here's the script:

property globTag : "globimg"
property AlbumFolder : "Macintosh HD:Users:steveboisvertrojets:Albums Photo:"
property ScaleFolder : "Macintosh HD:Users:steveboisvertrojets:GLöB:Flickr Transferts:GLöB:FlickrScale:"
property ToSend : "Macintosh HD:Users:steveboisvertrojets:GLöB:Flickr Transferts:GLöB:ToSend:"
property theSender : "(e-mail address removed)"
property recipCommon : "Photos"
property recipAddress : "(e-mail address removed)"
property FlickrTags : "Glob Québec"

on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving these_items

tell application "Finder"

-- COPY IMAGES FOR SCALING--
duplicate these_items to ScaleFolder
set FlickrPictures to contents of ScaleFolder
tell application "Macintosh HD:Users:steveboisvert:Library:Workflows:Applications:Folder Actions:FlickScale.app"
open FlickrPictures
end tell

-- NEW ALBUM FOLDER FOR ARCHIVES --
display dialog "Nom de l'album" default answer ""
set albumName to text returned of result
make new folder at AlbumFolder with properties {name:albumName}

-- CREATE TAGS FOR ARCHIVES --
repeat with this_item in these_items
set item_name to (get displayed name of this_item)
display dialog "Nom des gens sur la photo \"" & item_name & "\":" default answer ""
set PictureIDs to text returned of result
if item_name is not ".DS_Store" then
set comment of this_item to (globTag & " " & PictureIDs) as string
end if
end repeat
end tell
-- IMPORT IMAGES TO iPHOTO --

tell the application "iPhoto"
activate
import these_items
end tell

-- move these_items to (AlbumFolder & albumName)

-- SEND IMAGES TO FLICKR --

tell the application "Finder" to move files of folder ScaleFolder to ToSend
set PicturesToSend to contents of ToSend
set theSubject to albumName
repeat with eachitem in PicturesToSend
tell application "Mail"
set newmessage to make new outgoing message with properties {content:"tags: " & albumName & " " & FlickrTags & return}
tell newmessage
set sender to theSender
set subject to theSubject
make new to recipient with properties {name:recipCommon, address:recipAddress}
make new attachment with properties {file name:eachitem} at after the last paragraph
end tell
send newmessage
end tell
end repeat

end adding folder items to

Yeah!!

Love the pictures on you flickr page btw...

I want to use that script to create slideshows on my website hosted on the flickr website.

If this works, I'll add commands that will create htmls that will upload themselves to my website with the new slide shows...

Thanks mate
