Found the time to try out the new 4.5 release and I love it!
Other than a few mentionings in the Thread on the 4.5 beta, I haven't found many showcases of the new Universal Actions feature in this forum. Maybe we could share some usecases? Here is a workflow with a bunch of (mostly simple) Universal Actions:
Text Actions
- Titlecase
- Lowercase
- Uppercase
- Poor Text (removes formatting)
- Transform Spaces to Tabs
- Append to Clipboard (similar to Alfred's built-in function, but with manual hotkey and with universal action)
- Calculate the sum of all numbers in the selected text. Negative numbers are supported, as are both "," or "." as decimal separators. (Thousand separators are not supported though, as they would create ambiguous cases.)
- Run Brett Terpstra's SearchLink, which fetches the URL and creates a markdown link of the selected text.
URL Actions
- URL Encode
- URL Decode
- Create compact markdown link
- Create compact markdown link of all URLs in selecting (actually a Text Action...)
- SearchTitle: Fetch the title of the URL and create a Markdown link (basically the opposite of SearchLink)
