Change display resolution

[sepulchra]

I don't know how complicated this is but might it be possible to add a task that can change display resolutions?

Doesn’t look to be at all trivial. There are bunch of old scripts (and some workflows, though I have not tested) on the web and they all take a lot of code to do it. Regardless, I don’t think this is a fit for Automation Tasks. It requires a ton of specificity (the supported resolutions) which will depend on the monitors themselves and is not something that can be gathered beforehand, only at runtime on each person’s set up.

 

Moved to Help section, since this is a task for a workflow.

thanks for looking into it. I had a feeling it wouldn't be too easy ... and if i remember correctly lots of the old workflows were kind of hacky because they relied on UX elements etc.
