Does anyone know of an automator workflow that will create a document or otherwise capture a list of URL's, or associated a URL to each image, when an image is dragged from a webpage to the desktop or to a folder?
View 1 RepliesI want to set up a Automator workflow so that whenever I move Photo's to a certain folder, it will automatically copy those files to another folder, how can I do this ?
I have already created one, but after the first ' sync' it has failed and now does not work.
I am trying to adapt a workflow that i downloaded from Finished workflow, ready to use zip | 148 kb Sourced from: url...The workflow is a rsync workflow that syncs (mirrors) two folders.At present the Run Shell Script runs rsync -va --delete "$1/" "$2/".However, i would like the script to prompt me with a "Would you like to run a dry run? " dialogue box with a Yes/No answer. The Yes command would run the following script (Dry run) rsync -vaun --delete "$1/" "$2/".The No command would run the following script (Actual run) rsync -vau --delete "$1/" "$2/" set question to display dialog "Would you like to run a Dry Run?" buttons {"Yes", "No"} default button 1 set answer to button returned of question.

I have a workflow that I use often. Is there a way to add it to the library? I added a folder called My Workflows, but can't save any of them to that folder.

I am new to automator. I'm working on a Powerbook G4, in osx.4.11, and I'm trying to save a workflow as a plug-in in automator. When I click file>save as plug-in, nothing happens. I get no pop-up, and no plug-in is saved. I've tried this with various workflows.
I'm also having trouble adding actions to the workspace (even ones that make sense to add, i.e. I am following a tutorial to create a workflow that others have made before).
Hi all, here's what I'm trying but failing to achieve in Automator:Â
1) When files are added to "foldername" or any of its subfolders
2) Copy that file to "newfolder"Â
What is actually happening with my workflow below is it only takes action if something is added directly into "foldername" and ignores files added to subfolders like "foldername/subfolder".Â

What I try to do is pick a photo from a defined folder ("gallery"), scale it and upload it to my Wordpress side. I automatically want to run this workflow every morning at a specific time so that the pictures changes everyday. It may sound strange that almost everything is done but two things are missing:Â
a) How do I tell Automator to use a random file from the "gallery" folder? How do I tell it to use the "gallery" folder in the first place?
b) How do I schedule that task? Is there a scheduler function somewhere that I missed?Â
Right now I use it manually as a service for images - that's why the first action is the copy action.Once the picture is scaled down to 230px and loaded into the folder "image_upload_temp" Hazel will take the file and upload it. I need to copy the file first to keep the original and scale a copy and then move it to the target folder because Hazel shall not upload the unscaled but only the scaled version.Â

I'm updating an Automator workflow for OS X Lion that I initally developed and used, without issue, in OS X Tiger. The workflow asks for a name, creates a folder for the name, takes a digital image with a Nikon D50 connected to the computer, and saves the image to the new folder. This aspect of the workflow works fine.Â
I then have a prompt asking if we should take another. If the user says "yes," the script should take another image and save it to the folder. This is where I run into an issue. When I attempt to add another "Take a Picture Action" into the workflow, I get the cryptic (at least to me) error message in the attached screenshot. Â Â
Here's the text:Â
"Cannot update for observer <AMWorkflow 0x400458ac0> for the key path "parameters.name" from <TakePicture 0x403e3b0a0>, most likely because the value for the key "parameters" has changed without an appropriate KVO notification being sent. Check the KVO-compliance of the TakePicture class."Â
The language of this error would seem to indicate a bug.

I am using this action in a workflow. I have downloaded the Auxiliary Tools and put PackageMaker in /bin. When I run the workflow, it barfs on this action. The error message is "launch path not accessible."

Does anyone know any good app for scanning? For now I use Image Capture but is a bit limited! I usually scan music cd covers so I need something more detailed in order to scan the front and back covers accurately!
View 1 Replies View RelatedI really need to scan some images into my computer and I can't afford the $39 for VueScan. Image Capture used to work, but now what happens is that I open it up, and my printer/scanner Might show up for a second, but then it disappears and image capture tells me that there's no camera or scanner connected.I think it's stopped working ever since I upgraded to 10.6. Any ideas?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have deleted the photos off my camera manually and wanted to change it to shoot in RAW but then when i connected it back up to upload using 'Image Capture', the old image files show up as missing, and the new ones not at all so i changed back to jpeg format, but the problem wont go away
it seems like its saved the old image info in a cache or something can i wipe it clean and start over some way?
I have set up an automator service that TAR's a folder into an archive for me and it works quite nicely. Idealy however, I would like to be able to highlight several folders, right click and have automator tar each folder into it's own TAR archive, but do it one by one. Â
[Code]...
I'm not 100% sure so I guess it would be a good time to verify, is there a problem with having the system try to TAR multiple folders at one time? If it is not a problem then I guess this discussion itself is pointless and I can simple right click on each folder and select "TAR Folder" and just wait until they're all finished. I would think that it would be ideal for the system to do each one individually and not try to do them all at one time.Â
I tried image capture combined with newly downloaded snowleopard drivers for my epson perfection 4490 scanner. Does image capture or other app built into snowleopard have color profile choices? I did not see any color profile options in the details view of image capture. All I see are millions or billions of color for the color options.
I use AdobeRGB & sRGB color profiles for my scans.
I have an Epson Perfection v500 scanner and am having problems getting the Image Capture app to recognize it. The included epson scan software will not work with Snow Leopard- this includes the newer "snow leopard compatible" drivers and app.Anyone else have problems with the Image Capture app and Epson scanners?

I have an Automator workflow working correctly that:Â Get Specified URLs (Media RSS feed with images)Get Image URLs from Articles (Get URLs of images linked from teh articles)Download URLs (to a folder on my desktop)Â
This is working great, though it redownloads every image each time I run the workflow. Is there a way that I can have Automator check to see if the image exists in the folder prior to download and only downloading if it doesn't? This would save a lot of time and be much more efficient for me.Â

I use Image Capture to get photos off my Canon XSi. Lately, it hasn't been working. Image Capture shows 26 CR2 icons, but won't show their thumbnail previews. It won't download them, and I can't delete them, either. It also won't recognize any new photos I've taken with the camera. The only thing I've done recently that might have caused this is I installed a new scanner (Epson V300).

I cannot tell if it's an update process who went crazy at some point.

I am having problems with Image Capture not recognizing all the files on my camera (and recognizing photos that have long since been deleted).So I just took a few pictures to test out and see if I could get it to work right. I plugged in my camera and opened up image capture. I clicked download all. It downloaded two pictures that are not even on my camera (I double checked to make sure) and they were deleted weeks ago. And it's not recognizing the pictures I just took. There are about 23 pictures and it's not recognizing any of them just the two pictures that were deleted a while back. What's going on here? I'm new to Mac by the way.

I eventually found it in iPhoto preferences. Is this correct, or is my install (u/g from Leopard) broken? Also, what other Image Capture prefs were there, and where are they now?
