AnswerNeed a Script that will do: 'Categories from Folders...' for Mac

    Hi, I just need a little help getting a script that does almost the exact same thing as the built-in 'Keywords from Folders' script, but we need Categories instead of Keywords. I'm sure it's a very simple change the the existing script, so if anyone wants to spell out the syntax of what to change, I could probably do it. But a modified AppleScript would certainly be welcome as well (maybe it even exists already?!?)

    Sorry, I'm just not a coder and don't know the proper syntax for Expressions Media.

    THANKS!

    Hi JethroD,

    Very simple
    Open folder:

    Double clic on file "Keywords from Folders"
    Search all "keywords" and replace with "categories"
    Then save as "Categories from Folders"
    Relaunch EM2
