Automator Workflows

Osx Automator app is very useful for creating macros and save time. This repo is a collection of the macros that I use.

I usually create service workflows for system-wide services available in Services menu. But those files can easily be converted to apps.

Usage

Just clone the repo to~/Library/Services folder, or copy each .workflow file to ~/Library/Services folder.

To clone directly

cd ~/Library/Services
git clone https://github.com/laplacesdemon/automator-workflows.git .

After cloning, all you have to do is:

  • Open Finder
  • Find some images and highlight them
  • There is a Finder menu on top-left, next to apple logo. From that menu select Services and then select Rename and Scale Selected Images for iOS

You can find some additional information on my blog page: http://www.laplacesdemon.com/2012/11/02/mac-automator-for-renaming-files/

Rename and Scale Selected Images for iOS

  • Append @2x to the filename (i.e image.png to image@2x.png).
  • Duplicates and renames them back to original names and scale them half the size.
