1019Importing Screenshots to Photos with Automator

A simple Automator Action to import Screenshots in OSX into Photos:

  • Select the Folder to which the Action is attached
  • "Add to existing top-level album" - called "Screenshots"

I also have my Screenshots Folder on Dropbox, the Folder Actions are attached to that Folder.
