Thanks, Gary. I've never used Automator (too intimidated!), but now I'm going to give it a go. And it's so helpful to be reminded to have a look at what it'll do and then choosing something to try, rather than dreaming up a notion and just hoping that Automator can do it. Great advice! Your tutorials are really empowering! 😃
Great video. I'm going to give Automator a shot!
Excellent video! I didn't realize how helpful Automator could be.
Thanks for another great video Gary. How are you getting the image size to show up below the file name on your desktop?
Seth: Click on the Desktop to select it. View, Show View Options. Then turn on Show Item Info.
Thank you for this video. There are very few updated resources on Automator. Even Apple Support overlooks this app. Would the example you presented in this episode be modified to output 2 different size files? If you continue with this subject, I would like to see how to configure a workflow that schedules a daily compression and backup of a specified file to a backup folder.
D.: You could prompt for input and set the size based on that input. It would take some more work but if you keep experimenting in Automator you'll eventually figure it out. Automator itself can't schedule workflows to run. But you can create apps and then schedule them to run in Calendar. However for backing up files it is best to use Time Machine so everything is backed up.
Gary, is this possible using Automator? From Mac A (El Capitan), log into Mac B (Mojave) (same house, same wi-fi network) and go directly to the sign in screen for Quicken for Mac? With proper permissions, of course.
David: I can't think of a way to make that any easier using Safari, sorry.
