I have very specific question.
I've got 500,000 images that sit in 98 subfolders. Some of the subfolders contain 25,000 images.
Is there any script/automator workflow that I can use?
I was trying to create a workflow:
- Ask for Finder Items
- Get Folder Contents (tick repeat for each subfolder found)
- Rotate images
It works OK, but only for these folders where there is less than 4,096 files: I normally receive following error message:
Rotate images failed - 1 error too many arguments (12019) -- limit is 4096
Is there any way to increase this limit or create completely different apple script? I really hope that someone will help me with this one.
