Question

Can I use applescript with bridge?

I am unable to load the dictionary for Bridge from my script editor to see what capabilities I have to use applescript with bridge. I am assuming that this is because, for some reason, adobe has made it so that Bridge is not applescriptable. Could this possibly be true?

I am building a script that transfers all of my photos from my CF card as soon as it is mounted, transfers the files to a "temp" folder and then deletes the images off of the card and ejects the card. I have the "Temp" folder as one of my "favorites" in bridge and am simply hoping to gain access to that file while the transfer process is taking place so that I have a preview of the photos WHILE they are being transfered. (I want to use bridge instead of iPhoto obviously, but using the basic iPhoto functionality)

Without any scripting dictionary for bridge for applescript, I am unable to see how to select that folder in my "favorites" panel. I am able to "activate" bridge and bring it to the front, but that is simply a function of the "Finder" not Bridge.

Anyone have any idea if I can do ANY type of applescripting with Bridge?

I suggest you put in a feature request. Bridge should be scriptable in the same way as Photoshop, with cross platform JavaScript and with Apple script and Visual Basic.

Look at ImageIngester from http://www.basepath.com/ImageIngester/ and the Import From Camera script.

Sorry, Bridge is JavaScript only...
