Workflow translate folder path and then open it in browser


Recommended Posts

Hey guys !

 

Let me explain the situation first : I work with people on windows but i work on OSX. I often get DOS path on a shared volumes (mounted with samba) where documents i need are stored. Usually, it's .png or other graphic files.

 

And there we are, i want to do a workflow where i type a keyword then paste the DOS path i was given; then i run a bash script that translate the DOS path to Unix path (script i already have); finally i want that new path to be open in my browser.

 

So far, i made the input with a "keyword" then the {query} sent to a "Run script" and the new {query} sent to a "Notification". It works that way but it's not what i want.

 

I can't figure out how to send the new {query} to the browser though.

 

Did i miss something ?

 

Thanks for the help :)

So... i've been trying a long time… Kinda succeeded.

 

keyword object -> Run script bash to translate the DOS path to Unix path -> Run script bash to open this new path in the browser

Still wondering why i can't make several actions in a row though. Wish i could translate the path THEN send it an Open URL object.
If there's a way to do that, i couldn't find it.

I'm actually going to try and put together a few example workflows of how to chain several things together. They may require a little more work than what you want for this project though. Not sure how far down this rabbit hole you want to venture.

Well, it's still interesting & could give me others ideas even it doesn't really fit to my purpose on this one.

I looked at several others workflows to understand "howtos" and never really found out what i needed.

Everything is good to know. :)
