Image Shrinker

[Acidham]

Shrinks an image by reducing size of the longest side and optimize the color of the image for sharing.

The workflow accepts one image file via file action.

ImageShrinker can be used in two ways:

1. by browsing a folder or file, select the image file and then send it via file action to ImageShrinker

2. by using Universal Actions*: select an image file in Finder, enter Universal Actions and send it to ImageShrinker

* Using Unviersal Actions: Open Alfred Preferences → Features → Universal Actions

1. Alfred 5

2. Automation Task

This is nice. Is there a way to use an image file copied to the clipboard as input? As far as I can tell the only way to use the workflow right now is by browsing a folder in Alfred, or am I missing something? Using the clipboard would truly make this useful for how I use my computer/Alfred.

You can use ImageShrinker in two ways:

1. by browsing a folder, choose a file and then send it via file action to ImageShrinker
2. Use Universal Action in on a selected image file in Finder and then send it to ImageShrinker

Getting image file from the clipboard requires additional extensions as far as I know (e.g. Python lib or something). I would like to avoid the dependency.

ah, didn't know about Universal Actions yet. That's a great way to do it. Thanks for the pointer.

Hi I'm getting this error when running in debugger after selecting an image, running the universal action and selecting an image size - any ideas please?

ERROR: Image Shrinker[Automation Task] Task not found 'com.alfredapp.automation.core/image-manipulation/image.format.convert'

 

[Acidham]

which version of Alfred are you using?

 

Did you install Alfred Automation Tasks?

[vitor]

@modusop You have to double-click the Automation Task object (it will be showing in red) and update.

Thanks both. @vitor - installing the automation task worked - everything is working nicely now :-)
