Fix collection naming in Lightroom after Aperture import
February 28th, 2015I’ve created another open-source project, which helps you fix the collection names created by Lightroom when you import from Aperture.
It’s a pretty basic script, although it took a while to figure out all the hoops to jump through. Hopefully this will help someone else!
Get it at https://github.com/fredsherbet/lightroom-aperture-fix
After using Adobe’s Aperture importer, you’ll find all your Aperture projects have become Collection Sets in Lightroom, with a collection called ‘Project Photos’.
Fair enough… but then when you sync them all to Lightroom Mobile, all the collections you see on your iPhone/iPad are called ‘Project Photos’. Hardly helpful!
So, this script fixes it.
- Every collection called ‘Project Photos’ is renamed using its parent collection set
- Projects imported from Aperture that had no sub-albums are turned into a simple collection, rather than a collection set with one child collection.
Feel free to tweak the script to behave differently!

Mass deleting photos from Google+ and Picasa
February 28th, 2015I’ve published some open source software!
I had a problem – I’d uploaded all my photos to Google+ (it’s super-easy to upload them with the Google Plus Auto Backup program. But I did a bunch of them at full res, and was stuck paying for extra Google storage. I decided having all my photos on Google+ wasn’t that great after all (it’s not very good for browsing/searching, and it’s story thing never seemed to work well – all the photos were muddle up despite me being careful to have good metadata on my photos)
So I wanted to stop paying for extra storage, and started looking for a way to get my photos deleted from Google+… turns out it’s a painstaking process! You have to manually delete one album at a time (I had 2500 because it creates an album for each day) or manually highlight all the photos (which would have involved scrolling through 120,000 photos – a process that would have taken days).
Even the help says:
Scroll all the way to the bottom (it may take a while, depending on how many photos you have).
A “while”?… yes. A long while!
I found Google have APIs, and wrote a Python script to do the deletion for me. I’ve now published the tool, so it’s a pip install PicasaDeleter away!
More information about PicasaDeleter here and the source code is on github too

Quote of the day
February 21st, 2015Mummy asks Oscar: “Did you have fun at the park, today?”
“Yeah. I went down the slide and fell off. Daddy laughed at me.”
Which prompted me to burst out laughing again… Am I a terrible father?!
Oscar's getting quite creative with his lego designs. It's a shame they're all guns! (Or "shmms" as he calls them)
