Which folder view do you like the most or do you use different ones like Icon view for photos and List view for documents? For more on Finder, check out how to customize folder icons or how to use Smart Folders. Open Finder and navigate to your folder 1 Select your preferred view for the folder from the toolbar, whether its Icon, List, Column, or Gallery.
I am using Ruby for the processing, and I believe the elapsed time for the file count suggests speed. If you want the Ruby code and instructions to create the Automator application, let me know and I will post them here.
Please let me know how to do it. Currently, the Ruby application gets the creation date from the individual image. In general, Ruby does not include a standard library within it to access EXIF data in an image, and I do not post code that requires the extra confusion of adding these third-party modules.
What additional image and video extensions do you need that are not shown in this initial set? What is not needed?
I need a few minutes yet this morning to test on Mojave I found some code late last night that allowed me to pluck the DateTimeOriginal field from an image's EXIF data, but it is in a language that requires a compiler to use, and I would need additional time to translate it, and avoid the compiler necessity.
This morning's post will not integrate the EXIF capability. Jan 11, AM. Jan 11, AM in response to zarin In response to zarin You would get the create date by:. Jan 11, AM in response to rccharles In response to rccharles. If it cannot, then it will use the System time on the file instead. Added this capability while waiting for the OP to respond with extensions. Jan 11, PM in response to zarin In response to zarin Had some issues with the hosting software that won't let me post the solution here.
Getting a Google Drive shared folder and documentation ready. Will post the link here in a few minutes. I highly recommend having BBEdit or another language-aware programmer's editor installed. The Ruby script is zipped, and once unzipped, you need to open it in BBEdit so the formatting is preserved. If the tool is not installed, or cannot extract creation date information, then the System creation date for the file will be returned as 'yyyy-mm-dd' and the folder created, if it does not already exist.
I also updated the code to build a set of all existing folders that match the 'yyyy-mm-dd' naming format, and only create new folders that are not in this set. Include your app name if it adds context. Provide sufficient descriptive information about an action. Automator includes a description area that shows detailed information about a selected action.
People often use this area to learn about an action and decide whether to include it in a workflow. Each action should provide a detailed description consisting of one or more sentences that clearly describe the purpose of the action.
In addition, each action should detail its input and result types, requirements, options, notes, warnings, related actions, version, and copyright information. Minimize action height. Actions are stacked within a workflow. For example, you could use a pop-up button instead of a series of radio buttons, even if there are only two choices. In general, use smaller controls and 10 pt margins.
Make sure your entire action fits onscreen without requiring scrolling. Labels that repeat information available elsewhere take up space without providing value.
