Automator Script to move GPS data out of iPhoto

Question

Hi All,
I've been looking for ways to get my photo library out of iphoto, and do so with all of the GPS data I added through the iPhoto interface and I have a solution. Unfortunately I have to enter commands one file at a time (and I have 12000 photos!). I was hoping some Automator experts here might be able to help me out.
My plan is this:
1.     Export "Original" files, sorted by Event Name.
2.     Export jpegs with location data included in to a separate but itentical directory tree.
3.     Use the command line tool "exiftool" to move GPS data from each file to the original.
This will preserve my RAW files, and inlcude the data I want. I've made it work one file at a time with the following command:
exiftool -overwrite_original_in_place -tagsFromFile ~/Pictures/iPhoto\ Export\ \-\ jpeg/Event\ Name/001.jpg -gps:all ~/Pictures/iPhoto\ Export\ \-\ RAW/Event\ Name/001.NEF
So essentially I need an Automator script to take the output of an "ls" command with fill directory ftree for each file, put that in as the first argument, then change the file name and directory tree from jpeg to RAW and put that in as the econd argument, and run it for 12000 files. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks a ton to anyone who can respond.

Answer 1

That's correct. Although the project file might suggest otherwise, the physical project structure for the initial Creator release is fixed, patterned after the Jakarta source structure http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/appdev/source.html
Importing existing project structures is likely to become a priority in future updates/releases.
