Hi
I need to create a large number of albums in photos with the name from a list (txt or csv) of around 100 items.

Can anyone help me?

thanks

Richard

Shortcuts has a create photo album action. If you have a straight list of album names, you could use a split by line action to make them into a list and a loop to create each album with the next name from the list.

It would be something like this…

Hope that helps.

Thanks that worked, although duplicated the name of the albums so will dig into it further.

The only way that should happen is if albums with those names existed already or you had them included in your list twice.
