Select a file in Finder and hit your hotkey.

Adds the date to the filename before the suffix

E.g.

Item Name.xxx -> Item Name-03-25-2013.xxx

Add Date To Filename.alfredworkflow

Default date format changed to YYYYMMDD per advice from atadams.

I added some simple error checks.

Here’s my first attempt at an Alfred 2 workflow: Compare Finder Items in Kaleidoscope.

It compares two selected Finder items with Kaleidoscope. E.g. select two files and hit your hotkey (I used ⇧⌘K) and the files open in Kaleidoscope. Same for folders as Kaleidoscope 2 can compare folders.

It calls a shell script that runs an Automator workflow. It does some simple checks. Errors are logged to system.log with logger(), and a notification is sent to Notification Center.

Small Update: to improve syslog output.

Updated workflow: Compare Finder Items in Kaleidoscope.

+1 for this.

At the moment I'm using logger() or writing to tmp files for shell and log/display alert for osascript.

Something coming in the future?
