Where can I find script library for new Photos app in Applescript editor

2.4k views Asked by At

I'm trying to automate something in the new Mac Photos app.

Initial research showed that the easy-to-use actions supplied of for use with Mac Automator would not be sufficient for my needs, so I would like to try using the lower level Applescript language in Applescript editor.

But when I open the script editor and view libraries there is a listing for the old iPhotos app (greyed out) but not the new Photos app.

enter image description here

I've googled it to death but keep getting results that point to this site: https://photosautomation.com/index.html

There's nothing wrong with this site but it supplies a utilities library layered on top of the basic Photos scripting suite.

Where can I find the library for Photos to add to Applescript editor?

This drove me nuts for hours, but it turns out to be almost trivially easy. Just click the + button, and find the Photos.app in the Applications folder. Choose that and your done.
