How to I start a slideshow with applescript?
tell application "Photos"
start slideshow using folder "Monday"
end tell
This dosen't work
From the Photos dictionary:
folder (noun), pl folders A folder. A container that holds albums and other folders, but not media items
start slideshow (verb) Display an ad-hoc slide show from a list of media items, an album, a folder, or a moment (from Photos Suite)
Although the description of the command start slideshow suggests that you can display a slideshow from a folder, it doesn't work.
You have to get the list of media items of an album in a folder.
tell application "Photos"
set mediaItems to media items of album "myAlbum" of folder "Monday"
start slideshow using mediaItems
end tell
