I’ve searched the form and haven’t found an answer (and am a KM noob), so forgive me if this has been addressed elsewhere.
I’m on a mac and use the Photos app as my primary photo storage. I’ve copied all the originals over to my Amazon photo drive as well to have backup. I’d like to set up a macro that will automagically copy and paste image files over to my Amazon folder anytime new images are imported into Photos. Can anyone help me set this up? I’d prefer it recognize new file additions rather than be triggered by a typed string or hotkey.
I’m skeptical about making your process automatic.
There’s no built-in API that announces when an import has occurred, so you’d have to kludge something – and I think the chances of fouling up your data is too great.
I think you can probably use a little AppleScript to work with the Last Import Album to manually do what you want.
Take a look at this thread to get an idea of what can be done:
Thanks, Chris. I’m as knowledgable about Apple scripts as I am about KM unfortunately. I use the Amazon Drive app, which function much like Dropbox or Google Drive in that I have a folder on my hard drive that syncs with my Amazon account online. Anytime something is added to the folder, it syncs to the online account.
I looked at the thread you suggested and to be honest, it is very confusing to me. Is this what I would use? And if so, do I have to go into photos and select a specific album or collection each time? Not quite sure I understand…
