Applescript to import images

Hi,
I have just completed an Applescript designed to help in the management of images taken with a digital camera. The script replicates the rename and copy function provided by applications such as Lightroom and Photo Mechanic where the capture date and time is used in both renaming the file and determining where it should be copied to inside a date based folder structure.

The script uses Phil Harvey’s excellent Exiftool to do the heavy lifting and a copy of Exiftool is contained inside the script bundle. The script writes information into the copyright and artists name metadata fields as well as writing the filename back into several fields. More information is contained in an RFT description document that is within the zip archive.

Unfortunately the zip is to large to post here but hopefully you will be able to download it from this dropbox link : https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/63kg7pi5o6nvbjaoitxjm/Import_Images.zip?rlkey=tb9umgy0c262tqvp8lj8x1284&st=i83izj8o&dl=0
Please note that you will have to grant the script a number of permissions when it is first run i.a.w. Apple’s sandboxing and privacy measures.
