I tried exporting one image, waiting until it imported into Statuz, then exporting the second. Both imported fine, but the second overwrote the first.

I'm wondering if something in my computer configuration may be bunging up the import—I have a few ideas:

• The folder I am exporting to is on desktop, which syncs to iCloud, although I have it set to keep files downloaded.
• I haven't purchased a license yet for Statuz, so I'm in the free model.
• The wonkiness in the share extension makes me wonder if that is somehow related.

Just checked above, and the forum software still seems to be choking on my video, not sure why. I can try recording a smaller portion of the screen.

I've attached my system information below.

The forum software was trying to embed the video from the Dropbox link, so I compressed it as a zip file. If you download that, you should be able to extract the video.

I've uploaded a lower resolution copy below.

Here is my Automator script--all steps are disabled except the AppleScript to import to Statuz

This is my screen recording

Brief update: based on an example I found online, I placed a wait step in my Automator action to allow time for files to finish exporting from LIghtroom. However, the script still grabbed only the files present in the watched folder when the folder action was triggered. Still working out the specifics, but I moved the wait to the very first step, then reenabled the "get from folder" step I'd added for testing after that. Now, when files are added to the folder and trigger the Automator action, the script waits ten seconds, then gets the files a second time, hopefully capturing the whole export—ten seconds may not be long enough.

I've been testing this with the Photos app, and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Planning to test more and report back.
