Any script to read the old Mac iPhotos files and transfer to my iPad Pro?
-
I have gone to iPad only for many years. I found an old external harddisk with my older pictures that backup from iPhoto. Did any one try to write a python script to import those files to iPad Camera Roll?
I don’t have any Mac now. thanks.

iPad only
No Mac, no PC?
Old disk ? Which connection: Ethernet or USB?
Which iPad slot: USBC or lightning ?

iPad Pro connect to usb-c hub to access my external harddrive. I can copy them to my iPad (32GB for one year). I can access its Master folder to get the pictures. I think i can search the sub folders for images and save them one by one using the photo module. thanks.

@henryaukc Then, you could open the folders as external files in Pythonista and write a very small script to scan all these folders and copy the photos where you want
-
@henryaukc to know name of external folder, you have to create this little script on this folder and run it
import editor print(editor.get_path())You will get something like
'/private/var/mobile/Library/LiveFiles/com.apple.filesystems.userfsd/xxxxxxx/'
