solved Run a script on selection in finder

[JolinM]

Hi, I really feel like a dumb dumb, but I can't get my thing to run.

I've been exploring the Getting Started workflows, the Documentation, but I think what I'm asking is too basic to be found there…

 

I have a script that works. It currently uses a specific file:

imageprep -s /Users/jolinmasson/Desktop/SOURCE.jpeg -d /Users/jolinmasson/Desktop/ -r 300 -f tif

I want to run it with the Selection in Finder Automation action.

How do I connect the two to make that happen?

 

Thanks!

Change the script to "${1}" in place of the source file and either use a Hotkey with Argument Selection in macOS or if you’re using something else use the Automation Task in Files and Folder → Selection in Finder.

Hi @vitor, thanks for the help. I tried with Selection in Finder, but it doesn't seams to work.

Here's my workflow so far.

Any clues?

Your Run Script has a mistake: "${$1}" should be "${1}".

You sir are a life saver! Here's the working 1.0 version of the workflow if it helps anyone!

thanks again, couldn't have done it without you.

Here's the final product.
