Trying to use Alfred to do a specific (simple?) thing in Terminal... [Resolved :) ]

[sr_navarre]

Hi,

 

I'm the sort of guy who gets totally lost when the terminal is open, but I've managed to figure out how to use it to change my .epub ebooks into .mobi ebooks so I can use them in my Kindle app. I open the terminal, drag a specific exec file to it, drag the .epub book I want to convert, hit enter and I have a brand new .mobi file.

 

How can I get Alfred to do this for me? Can I do it from the actions panel, or should it be a hotkey?

 

Thanks for any help.

Either is fine. Which would you prefer? Making it a File Action might be clearer, though.

Try this. Double click the rightmost node and replace /full_path/to/your/executable with the full path to your executable (when you drop it on the terminal, that’s the path).

Sweet! That works! Thanks, Vitor.
