Beets Import as a Mac Folder Action - izzy - 2025-04-19

Threw this together today and thought it might be a nice QoL thing for other people on Mac - a Shortcut that runs some AppleScript to open iTerm2 and import an album!

Did it this way so that I can have an interactive prompt to verify things if there's mismatches.

Depends on iTerm2, obviously. Also, note that non-login shells don't source .zprofile or .zshrc so make sure beets is in your PATH via .zenv!

(Apple create a new automation environment that doesn't make me still use all the old ones challenge, difficulty level: Impossible)
