I want to trigger an action when I plug an SD card named “OM SYSTEM” into my OWC Thunderbolt 3 Dock. This doesn’t work
And if I leave the name field blank and the cursor there “if your text insertion point is in the name field of this trigger and you connect (or turn on) the device, Keyboard Maestro will fill the name in for you” doesn’t do anything. The quote is from https://wiki.keyboardmaestro.com/trigger/USB_Device.
Card in Finder sidebar:
What am I missing?
That the SD card isn't an USB device (that would be the dock itself) -- it's a volume, so use the "Mounted volume" trigger.
@Nige_S has identified the right trigger. I've used it for my ingestion routine for years (I use a "name matching" with OR (|) delimiters between all the card names I use).
One caution with this approach is not to reformat your card in the camera without renaming it. Olympus, if I recall, renames the card UNTITLED when you format, although not all camera manufacturers do that.
Thank you. I suspected something like that, but didn’t think about how else to approach it.
@mrpasini Hope I remember that when the time comes.
