I have just started using the “Aperture Hot Folder” script, it works perfect. It imports photos into Aperture when new pictures are added to a folder. I do not know if my question is related to the script or with Aperture.
When photos are being imported it auto advances to the newest imported photo. I would prefer that the photos are imported and not advance to the newest. I have clients viewing the photos live and it becomes annoying when the photos auto advance.
Does anyone know how to turn off the “Auto Advance” in Aperture?
James,
(as discussed in email; posting here for posterity)
You can modify the script by opening it in AppleScript Editor, and removing this chunk of script. Obviously do this to a copy of the app (just drag the app to the AppleScript Editor to open it)
on advance_selection()tell application "System Events"
-- if Aperture is the frontmost applicaiton then hit the right arrow key to advance to the next image
set the application_identifier to the creator type of first process whose frontmost is true and visible is true
if the application_identifier is "fstp" then
key code 124
end if
end tell
end advance_selection
