I am new to developing on the Lightroom SDK and am trying to build a script to add keywords to a catalog. Here is the contents of the current script:
local LrApplication = import 'LrApplication'
local LrDialogs = import 'LrDialogs'
local catalog = LrApplication.activeCatalog()
GKMenuItem = {}
function GKMenuItem.runProcess()
catalog:withWriteAccessDo("SetKeywords",GKMenuItem.setKeywords() )
end
function GKMenuItem.setKeywords()
local test='Default'
local catPhotos = catalog.targetPhotos
local myKeyword = catalog.createKeyword( 'XYZA: test', {}, true, nil )
for _, photo in ipairs( catPhotos ) do
-- Loop through each of the photos.
-- photo.setKeyword(myKeyword)
LrDialogs.message(test)
end
end
import 'LrTasks'.startAsyncTask( GKMenuItem.runProcess )
The problem I have is that I get an 'Assertion Failed!' message for the createKeyword statement whenever this is run. I've tried a lot of variations without success. Using Lightroom 3.6 on OSX Lion 10.7.4.
Any ideas would be appreciated!
Thanks
Glyn
