[QUOTE="hepcat72, post: 1466105, member: 281303"] Hi, I want to create a script that I can assign to a keyboard shortcut that will allow me to add a face to a displayed iPhoto pic. I created an automator workflow that does it, but it takes between 5-10 seconds to run (not the boost in efficiency I was looking for). I wrote a script that I was sure would do it, but while it runs without error, it does't actually add a face. Here's the script. Anyone have any idea why it doesn't work or how to fix it? I had used the Accessibility inspector and an applescript that generates the scripting interface to iPhoto to show me the scriptable elements used in this script: tell application "iPhoto" activate tell application "System Events" tell process "iPhoto" click (static text 2 of window 1) display dialog "DEBUG: Value of static text: " & (value of static text 2 of window 1) end tell end tell end tell Incidentally, the debug message shows the string to be "Add a face...". Thanks, Rob [/QUOTE]
