Quick Archive Workflow

[Ginfuru]

One of the biggest oversights I think OS X has is the lack of a hotkey to quickly archive (zip) files. With Alfred I'm able to create this using AppleScript and a hotkey trigger. 

 

I've created a workflow that uses both a Hotkey ( cmd + shift + \ ) and a Keyword ( zip ) to compress the selected files or folders into a zip. It's stupidly simple to modify.

There is no app configured at that hostname.
Perhaps the app owner has renamed it, or you mistyped the URL.

Yeah you could add a run script with the output.
