  1. Thanks so much for all your help with this, but it's still not working for me. I had taken your original workflow and made some changes based on how I tend to use screenshots. Here's the version of the workflow that I'm using... http://www.filedropper.com/screenshots. Essentially, I have three 'types' of screenshots, each with the choice to either do a window or selection capture (I don't ever had a need for full screen or timed). The 'types' of screenshots can be summarized as follows... - Edit: In this case, the screenshot is opened in an editing application (Skitch in my case) immediately following the capture. I can then save it out from there once the edits are made. - Save: In this case, the screenshot is saved (as is) directly to my 'Downloads' folder immediately following capture. - Copy: In this case, the screenshot is saved (as is) directly to my clipboard immediately following capture. I've got the workflow working great aside from the ability to have the screenshots automatically assigned a name each time instead of having to manually enter it myself. If I make the changes you recommend, it works fine in some of the situations but seems to blow up my functionality in others (e.g. opening in Skitch). Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again for the help!
  2. Thanks for this, however the script doesn't seem to be fully working. I've updated it as directed (see below), and while the files are now being automatically named, the file name is only using the month/day/year part of the script. So when I take a screenshot, it's automatically naming it with a datestamp "03_02_14" but not including a timestamp (minutes/hours/seconds) in the file name. As a result, if I take a second screenshot, it automatically overwrites the first as they both have the same name. The script in this instance is... now=$(date +"%m_%d_%y at %I.%M.%S%p") screencapture -i ~/Downloads/$now.jpg # echo something echo $now.jpg What have I done wrong?
  3. One last question on this... Any way to revise the workflow so that the screenshot files are automatically named (e.g. with something like a timestamp) instead of forcing me to assign a name in advance each time?
  4. Upon closer inspection, it looks to be working now. Sorry about that. Maybe there is a slight delay between when the file is accessed and when it shows up in the list. If I give it a few minutes, it appears. Thanks again for the great work on this, and for the quick response!
  5. This is outstanding. Truly great work! I'm curious as to how I can go about amending the file types that are pulled into the results so that I can see things like Exce, Powerpoint, etc. I know another user had this same request. Would you mind sharing the method to do this? Thanks so much.
  6. If I wanted to change the program that it opens in (for editing purposes) to Skitch. How could I go about doing that? Thanks in advance!
