Hello! So glad to start using keyboard maestro for automating my tasks.
I've gotten a little ahead of myself I think and want to create a screen capture organization macro that achieves the following when a screenshot gets saved to a directory:
-
Trigger the following actions when the screen capture gets saved into a directory. Pretty simple so far haha.
-
Once triggered the first action is to prompt the user with a dropdown list of folders that are inside a given directory. In my case, each folder correlates with a project I'm working on. So the drop-down options, for example, would be: My Project Folder One, My Project Folder Two, My Project Folder Three etc.
-
After you select from the list of folders you want to save your screen capture it takes the screenshot a moves it to a Media folder inside the folder that was selected in the dropdown. That is it!
The problem is I don't want to keep adding If/Switch conditions to the macro every time I want to add a new project folder in my projects directory as well as a value for the dropdown list.
So my question is... How do I dynamically update the dropdown list when I create a new folder in a given directory and update the logic to then check if the user selects a destination folder to move the screen capture too?
Attached is the hardcoded way that works but isn't dynamic. I know I could just do something with a script but I'm trying to learn the visual editor! So if it's possible to do this without scripting that would be awesome!
Thanks, J
