Beery Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 I'm looking for a workflow which takes a url and create a .url file from it. The url can be a parameter or from clipboard. As it might be a shortened one, it will not be a good idea to take it from the browser address bar. Any ideas? With a url of http://www.alfredforum.com/, the result file might be [internetShortcut]URL=http://www.alfredforum.com/ Thanks .... Beery Link to comment
deanishe Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 You haven't given enough information to answer your question is an actionable way. What exactly do you want to do? You want to grab a URL from where? Do you want shortened URLs to be resolved to the actual URL or not? Where do you want the .url files written? Link to comment
Beery Posted June 23, 2016 Author Share Posted June 23, 2016 The url will be grabbed from clipboard (or pasted as a parameter to the workflow). I'd like the url to stay as is. If it is a shortened one then no resolution. Ideally the flow will launch a save-as like dialog. It is OK the have a way for me to specific target folder (the file name might be tricky - can be the trail component in the url). Link to comment
