1. Re: iPhoto->Lightroom import: Automating collection creation
johnrellis Apr 28, 2012 11:19 PM (in response to nycvelo)If you're a programmer, you could use the LR SDK to write a plugin script that creates collections based on the folder structure. Adobe hasn't provided SDK documentation for LR 4 yet, but there doesn't appear to be many changes from the LR 3 SDK, so its documentation should be adequate. The learning curve can be a little steep, so expect to spend at least 6 hours, perhaps more, depending on your facility at picking up new programming languages and applications.

2. Re: iPhoto->Lightroom import: Automating collection creation
nycvelo Apr 29, 2012 3:52 PM (in response to johnrellis)Thanks, John. Do you have a pointer to a Mac version of the LR SDK, or a 4.0 version?
The only thing I see on Adobe's site is this link:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/photoshoplightroom.html
but it's for version 3.0 of the SDK, and then on Windows only.
Thanks again!

johnrellis Apr 29, 2012 4:09 PM (in response to nycvelo)That download is mislabeled -- the SDK is for both Mac and Windows. (The SDK is just documentation plus samples.) As I mentioned, the LR 4 SDK hasn't been released by Adobe yet, but the LR 3 SDK should be good enough.

nycvelo Apr 30, 2012 2:44 PM (in response to johnrellis)Thanks, John. LR3 SDK works OK with LR4 on the Mac.
Now, on to that steep learning curve part. . .
Thanks again.
