I use cameras with SD cards that are always called "Untitled" and I set up this macro to open new Finder window with the name containing "Untitled" whenever I insert one. Why is Keyboard Maestro is switching the trigger method whenever I trigger the macro? I set it to trigger when the name contains "Untitled" but when I run it the macro changes to "with exact name". Why is this? I suppose this really doesn't matter since Mac OS appears not to be naming additional Untitled devices with numbers anymore.
Does anyone know why when I insert multiple "Untitled" SD cards Mac OS is not naming them Untitled 1, Untitled 2, Untitled 3, anymore? Did something change in Mac OS? If so does anyone know how can I change it back? I can't seem to find anyone mentioning this on Google maybe it's just me?
I just got an M4 Max Mac Studio on Sequoia. I skipped mac OS Sonoma entirely. My M1 MacBook I've been using until now has been on Ventura where I've been installing the security updates and not "upgrading". That's the first time in 15 years that I've skipped Mac OS versions. I've had a lot of great surprises with various "improvements" to Mac OS. Is it just me or is the OS getting more intrusive and more frustrating especially since Big Sur? System Settings is definitely not better than System Preferences right??? It can't just be me. It's been 3 years and I still hate System Settings. That's enough time to be unbiased right? It still bugs me every time I open my preferences and it's iPhone settings on my mac.

Also bonus question does anyone know how to disable automath (1+1=... auto fills 2)? I don't know where else to ask this question so I'll throw it here just incase this has bothered anyone else enough to know for sure if it can be turned off. I've done as much research as I can and as far as I know you can only disable it in Notes or something and not system wide.
I've turned off every setting I can think of even Apple Intelligence and auto math is not turning off. TextEdit is NOT a calculator, Pages is NOT a calculator, every text box is NOT a calculator! It's been driving me crazy. I've given up on getting rid of the big colorful mic indicator and screen recording indicator that show up every 3 seconds in the menu bar, especially the screen recording indicator. But there has to be a way to get rid of this auto math. I even turned off "Screen Time > Content & Privacy > Intelligence & Siri > Math Results" and it did nothing not even sure what it's supposed to be for. Asking because this has to bug other people too and someone may know if it's possible to turn off.
Just keep typing -- it's a suggestion, not an auto-fill. It's "tab to complete", so if you want to follow your = with a tab then tap ESC first.
You should be able to turn it off via System Settings -> Screen Time -> Content & Privacy -> Intelligence & Siri: Maths Results but that doesn't seem to do anything on my test system.
Multiple "Untitled" volumes should all be called "Untitled" in Finder, but they are listed by your AppleScript (and in the /Volumes directory) as Untitled, Untitled 1, etc. I don't think that has changed -- that they aren't differentiated in Finder has been a complaint for years.
I can't reproduce that here -- macOS 15.5, KM v11.0.4 -- but I am still on Intel so that might make a difference.
But you could try changing the trigger to use "with name matching" and the string (?i)^Untitled to catch any volume whose name starts (^) with "Untitled" -- the (?i) makes the match case-insensitive.
It may be a suggestion but it fills the answer in when you hit spacebar or return key and the only way to get it to not "auto fill" is to press the right arrow key on my system.
That must be a recent change since on my M1 MacBook Pro on Ventura they are listed as Untitled 1, Untitled 2. Surely there's a terminal command that can restore the correct behavior? It's odd that I haven't found anyone mentioning this online though.
Apologies -- I didn't realise those acted as selectors too. And yes, using right-arrow is less intrusive than ESC and its resulting alert sound...
Have you tried the System Settings switch? It seems to work for some people, so you may get lucky. Or, hopefully, Apple will fix it in an update.
Volume names:
Nope -- I checked on a 10.13.6 (!) machine before posting. It's been the default behaviour for a long time. And here's a page on the Eclectic Light blog showing the same in Ventura.
Perhaps you changed something or installed a utility on your MacBook Pro to show the numbers?
Yeah I mentioned it in my first post it's peculiar that it does nothing.
This is what I get for choosing to do a clean install on my mac studio. I must have done something to change the behavior in my M1 and forgot what I did because my SD cards have been showing up as Untitled 1, Untitled 2, Untitled 3, for the whole time. I still have no idea what I did or even if I did anything.
