write and read to google drive
Writing is easy.
Synch a Google Drive folder to your computerSet the destination of captured video and pictures from Isadora by going to Output > Set Captured Media FolderUse the Capture Stage to Picture, Capture Stage to Movie, or Capture Camera to Movie actors and the files will go to the chosen folder (as will any recordings made with Output > Start/Stop Recording Stage).For writing text files, just provide the Data Array with the proper file path to the folder or keep the Isadora file itself in the synched Google Drive folder and just fill in the file name.
For reading files:
For macOS and Windows: The Python option (if you join the beta program)Windows-Only: @Juriaan 's IzzyDynamicMediaBin projectWindows-Only: Use Spout SlideshowmacOS-Only: @mark's adaptation of @primaldivine's method of creating an AppleScript automation that watches a specific folder (which can be the synched Google Drive folder) and runs whenever a new file is added: https://community.troikatronix.com/topic/3246/applescript-solution-logged-how-to-dynamically-load-media-files-videos-photos/9Personally, I'd suggest option #4. If you want to try that one, follow Mark's instructions on the link. If you need to modify the behavior for the script, you can go to our "Isadora and AppleScript" tutorial article to learn more about what's possible with AppleScript and Isadora (don't forget to download the example files at the bottom of the article!).
