I’ve my Apple Photographs.app library on my iMac and my referenced pictures on a networked Mac mini. The aim is to import all screenshot pictures routinely, utilizing an Automator script and Folder Motion, to an area Photographs.app library with the pictures referenced and residing on the Mac mini server.
I’ve created a Folder Motion on the iMac that checks for adjustments on a the mounted quantity at:
smb://192.168.5.1/Godzilla/Screenshots_master
The Folder Motion runs once I take a screenshot and the screenshot is saved to the Screenshots_master folder on the distant quantity.
Initially the Automator Script’s import motion ran however failed with this discover in Photographs.app
I fiddled round with permissions on the Mac mini server which stopped the “Can’t Import Merchandise” from showing, nevertheless the picture continues to be not imported into the Photographs.app library. This leads me to assume it could be a permissions concern.
To work on that I moved to the Mac mini and added ACLs to /Screenshots_master
sudo chmod +ai "group:everybody group:workers enable listing,add_file,search,add_subdirectory,delete_child,readattr,writeattr,readextattr,writeextattr,readsecurity,file_inherit,directory_inherit" /Volumes/Godzilla/Screenshots_master
that resolved the message however the picture was nonetheless not imported
chmod -N
chmod +ai "group:everybody enable file_inherit,directory_inherit" /Volumes/Godzilla/Screenshots_master
The picture continues to be not imported and there’s no message.
