I have not been able to find how to do this in KM so far. It was rather easy in Automator, but I was trying to move to KM8 since Automator has not been updated in 3 years.
I have a folder named PhotoArt. I want to drop a few image files on the folder at once and, say, resize them.
I can't for the life of me find how to do this in KM, despite it being so easy in Automator. Please help!
Hi! Yes, I have. This was so much easier in Automator, but I wanted to move to KM because Automator hasn't been updated in 3 years and I fear Apple is just letting it linger. I can run a BASH script to do stuff on the folder trigger, but it doesn't work quite right as I had it in Automator. BTW, I'm just doing this to learn KM; nothing for real use at the moment. There is definitely a steep learning curve coming from Automator.
How about we step back and see if the workflow can be modified a little? This task shouldn't be too hard to complete in Keyboard Maestro, it just might not be best done the way you're expecting. Would you mind posting your bash script and a screenshot of the actions you've tried to use?
Mind if I ask, are the images and folder in the same reliable location on your drive. I ask this because, if the are, maybe you can achieve your goal by selecting menu items (?)
