Thank you Deanishe for coming back!
About your first comment.
Apptivate works in this way: say that i have dozen of scripts, and 4 of them are related to my NAS, so i assign the same keystroke OPT+SHIFT+N to these four scripts since the letter N reminds me of NAS
However if i type such keystroke, Apptivate does not know which script to launch out of the four, so i can assign a second key to be pressed to select which one
Say that 2 of those scripts are referring to the folder VIDEO on my Nas, then i can assign the second key V to both of them
Finally i need a third key to distinguish between them two, and i can choose W for one script and say Z for the other one
This is the sequence of keys selected:
This means that if i type OPT+SHIFT+N i am selecting all scripts pointing to the Nas, then i type V to select all scripts pointing to folder Video, then i select W because the subfolder is called Web Video and so on
It is very simple and since the folders names do not change, i know by heart what to type
About your second comment
I am not an Applescript expert and i am happy to move away from them
I thought that Alfred workflow could allow me to graphically build something similar to what the script does, without any scripting behing
Am i wrong? are the workflow tiles just placeholder for actions that need to be coded?
Many thanks!

I am a basic user with just good copy-paste skills, and after days of googling, i could somehow put together a couple dozens of applescripts like the following two:
tell application "Finder"
set theSelection to selection
repeat with thisFile in theSelection
set theName to name of thisFile
set name of thisFile to "Test - " & theName
end repeat
move selection to folder ((path to home folder as string) & "kDrive:TEST 2021:DESTINATION FOLDER")
end tell
The above script prepend a given text ("test" in the example) to the selected files in Finder, then move all of them to a given folder on my MacThe below script mount locally a folder sitting on my NAS, if it's not already open, then move the selected files from the finder to the NAS folder, and finally delete them locally on my Mac:tell application "Finder"
tell application "System Events" to set diskNames to name of every disk
if "video" is in diskNames then
else
mount volume "smb://mynas/video/" as user name "username" with password "password"
end if
move selection to folder ("video:MUSIC CLIP")
delete
end tell
Right now i am launching such scripts using free software Apptivate (http://www.apptivateapp.com) which is super simple, i only have to set a keystroke and sub strokes, and everything worksSee an example, i just select multiple files in Finder and i type SHIFT+ALT+N and it opens up the sub-selection of scripts activated from letter N:
I now have to just type V to narrow down to the sub-selection of scripts activated from letter V
And now i just have to type M or W according to my choice, and the job is done.All letters are speaking, they are the initials of folders which are meaningful to me, so i always know by heart which keys to typeIs it possible to do it with Alfred with the same simplicity? just typing my letters?If so I could just use Alfred instead of Apptivate and above all I assume the scripts would work with any other MacOS file manager, like Pathfinder for instance, which is currently not affected from my scripts aboveMany thanks!!Peval
How to authenticate once on Microsoft SSO and then open multiple URLs
in Discussion & Help
Posted
Hi there!
I have created a basic workflow that opens up 6 different URLs in Safari and all of them require SSO (Single Sign On) via Microsoft
They are Office 365 mail inbox, calendar, yammer, teams, etc all related to the company I work for.
What i get is essentially 6 tabs asking to authenticate:
Even if i authenticate on one tab, i need to repeat the task for all the remaining ones
Is there a way to authenticate say on one tab, and only then open the remaining URLs? or maybe completing the authentication in a separate dedicated window?
Any suggestion is welcome
Many thanks!
