Automator control click.

I made two simple automator work flows several months back. remaning finder items and importing into iphoto. When I select items and control click these options are there and can be done without having to open automator or these work flows. Now I have created a new work flow for converting files to JPEG then copying them to the desk top and making them sequential. But when I control click this work flow is not there (the one previously mentioned are there). How do I get the new work flow to be there when I control click?
What I am trying to do is take a PDF file and change all the pages to JPEG so that I can make a .cbr file without have to do this all manually.

Jason,
You should be able to find the old actions in the following location:
~/Library/Workflows/Applications/Finder/
if you need to remove the old ones.
A new one is created and automatically placed in that same folder by using the "Save as Plug-in" command in Automator and saving it as a plug-in for the Finder.

  • Changing default email program for Control Click file to use Outlook

    Hi,
    We have an interesting issue when when you Control click a file and select "New email with Attachment" it always brings up Mail, I want to change this to Outlook (latest office for Mac). I have checked everywhere for this setting and made sure Outlook is set as the default mail program everywhere.
    Can someone point me in the right direction and this would be a quick win for out customer.
    Thanks,
    Bob James

    "New Email with Attachment" is a Service provided by Mail.app. To use Outlook, you would need an Outlook service. If Microsoft doesn't provide one, it might be possible to make your own using Automator. If you search, somebody might have already done that.

  • Home automation control app

    Hi , do you know if RIM are developing an app for home automation control like other smartphone , with app like Biticino or Vantage Home Automation ?
    Thank You for your answer

    There is no indication that BB is implementing anything like that. However, that said, the QNX platform used in BB10 is used in many other areas like automotive and appliances. it is possible they could if they wanted to. There is nothing announced in that regard, though.

  • How can I make this AppleScript available as a control click menu?

    This code was previously created in another question from 2009 (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1881786?start=15&tstart=0), but the last person to comment on it was never given an answer. I wanted to see if this following AppleScript could be used as a control-click menu, so when I click on a folder, I can choose to run this script so set an icon as the folder image, instead of having to select both the image and the location. In other words, can I have a one-click method to set, say "cover.jpg" or "1.jpg" as the folder icon? Any help is appreciated.
    Here is the code that works through the use of selecting the file and the folder:
    --CODE (for AppleScript Studio script)
    set srcpath to POSIX path of (choose file with prompt "Choose source image file.")
    set dstpath to POSIX path of (choose folder with prompt "Choose target folder.")
    --set dstpath to dstpath's text 1 thru -2 -- remove last slash if necessary.
    setIcon(srcpath, dstpath)
    on setIcon(srcpath, dstpath)
    set nsimg to load image srcpath
    set nswks to call method "sharedWorkspace" of class "NSWorkspace"
    set r to call method "setIcon:forFile:options:" of nswks with parameters {nsimg, dstpath, 0}
    delete nsimg
    return r
    end setIcon
    --END OF CODE

    Jules,
    Depending on the shape, and upon the appearance (varying width and/or knotting or whatever), it may be anything from a Rectangular/Polar Grid (bundled with the Line Segment Tool) to something intricate and difficult.

  • Two finger click and control click no longer works in Finder

    Starting today, I can't do a two finger click or a control click to bring up the contextual menu on a file or folder. Two finger click works everywhere else on my Macbook, the desktop, browsers, Office apps, everywhere except Finder. I'm running OSX 10.6.8. I saw a post on another forum that someone else has the same issue with the same OS and also started happening today, but no answers so far. I have rebooted my machine and no change.

    Trash the plist file again but this time.....
    Disconnect all peripherals from your computer.
    Boot from your install disc & run Repair Disk from the utility menu. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.
    Select your language.
    Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar.
    Select Disk Utility.
    Select the disk or volume in the list of disks and volumes, and then click First Aid.
    Click Repair Disk.
    Restart your computer when done.

  • Having 2 small issues with 10.4.3 interface - shift click & control click

    I am having two issues with 10.4.3 on my mom's computer.
    1) I Control-Click the mouse and I do get a shortcut menu on the desktop, on icons, etc. How can I get this back? I can not seem to find a preference that sets this.
    2) I am in iPhoto and would like to select multiple film rolls (consecutive rolls) by clicking the first and then clicking the last one that I would like and it is working like I am comand clicking and only selecting the two rolls that I have clicked on and not the ones in between.
    Any help in how to work this out would be great.
    Happy Turkey Day!

    Do you have any third-party items in:
    /Library/Contextual Menu Items/
    /Users/YourUsername//Library/Contextual Menu Items/
    If you do, try dragging them onto your Desktop and then retry control-clicking.

  • HT1343 On my 4 1/2 year old Macbook I could select multiple files  by highlighting a file and then moving cursor over a file lower in the list, and pressing shift-control-click. I can't do that in now with Mac Pro.  What am I doing wrong?

    ghlighting a file and then moving cursor over a file lower in the list, and pressing shift-control-click. I can't do that in now with Mac Pro.  What am I doing wrong?

    Holding down the control key will invoke "right-click."
    Depending on the View, holding down Shift will with either toggle the selection (Icon View), or it will make a continuous selection from the previous selection (List View or Column View).
    The only way to make a continuous selection in Icon View is to drag out a selection marquee around or through the icons.
    I can't remember the behavior of previous OS's.

  • Photoshop and elements 13  Working in iPhoto Want to edit image using photoshop elements Did the following  IPhoto Preferences Advanced Edit Photos: In drop down menu chose in Photoshop Elements  Also control click and chose edit in external editor  Drop

    Photoshop and elements 13
    Working in iPhoto
    Want to edit image using photoshop elements
    Did the following
    IPhoto>Preferences>Advanced>Edit Photos: In drop down menu chose in Photoshop Elements
    Also control click and chose edit in external editor
    Drop down menu edit photos in external program>photoshop Elements
    Go to to the image I'm working on  --- selected the image, the clicked on edit. When nothing happened I double clicked the image. Still elements didn't open. Then I opened the Elements editor, went back to iphoto and tried the entire process again. the photo still didn't open on Elements 13 for editing.
    I have 3 Elements 13 books as well as looked on line--all my references say the exact same thing ---- iPhoto>Preferences>advanced>edit in external program>photoshop Elements
    I uninstalled and reinstalled both iPhoto as well as Elements.
    I spoke with application technical support.  There appears to be nothing wrong with my copy of iPhoto.  However there is no support from Adobe.  I waited for over 1.5 hours for chat support several days ago, and finally gave up.

    You are probably choosing the obvious file rather than the correct file as the PSE editor. The actual editor is hidden away inside the Support Files folder. The PSE file at the top level of the PSE folder in Applications is just an alias for the welcome screen and what you're describing is exactly what happens when you choose that. You want this one:

  • Control-clicking does not work in Finder

    Ever since installing the 10.4.5 update, control-clicking does not work in Finder. When I try to do it, Finder automatically restarts itself. This happens in any Finder window and on the desktop itself. Whether I am control-clicking an Application icon or trying to 'Get Info' on a file, Finder restarts itself. I repaired permissions and it did not fix the problem.
    Any idea on how to fix this? Thanks a lot!
    David
    Edit: Nevermind. I fixed it by deleting the JIMZip.plugin file in my Contexual Menu folder. I found the answer in another thread. I apologize for searching after I created this thread.

    David,
    Can you identify any corrupted or incompatible files in either your Macintosh HD/Library/Contextual Menu Items folder, or your Macintosh HD/Users/yourhomefolder/Library/Contextual Menu Items folder?
    If so you may be able to uninstall/reinstall the associated application.
    You may also consider temporary manual removal and isolation of the suspect file to verify CM functionality.

  • Control-click class references in Xcode 6.1 not working?

    In Xcode 6.1 (6A1052d) when I control click on a class to search for methods, it gives me an Activity Indicator ( spinning bars, not beach ball), but it doesn't go any further than that. I've downloaded the documentation for OS X 10.10, iOS 8.1, and Xcode 6.1 through Preference->Downloads, and that didn't seem to help. Whether I'm online or offline, it only give me the Activity Indicator.
    Is there something I might be missing, or a way to resolve this issue?
    Thanks in advance!

    I haven't been able to recreate the issue since my reinstallation (which is good!), so I photoshopped an image together to show you what it looked like. When I clicked the lock on the top left, I received the "Untitled" warning.

  • Control-click doesn't select multiple thumbnails?

    Two of our workstations have recently lost the ability to control-click to select multiple thumbnails. Control-click works in other applications, including Windows Explorer, but control-clicking in the thumbnails pane in Acrobat simply selects the next thumbnail - it doesn't add to the current selection as it used to.
    These workstations are running Acrobat Pro 9.4.5. They are fully updated. Any thoughts?

    Thank you so much. I did do a forum search but didn't find this. I appreciate you sending me in the right direction.

  • Control-click / right-click doesn't work in finder!

    Hi.. I just installed OSX Tiger. I also have an Apple mighty mouse. When i right click (or control-click) on the desktop, or within finder, it simply restarts finder and refreshes the desktop, instead of bringing up a menu as normal. This is annoying as it happens when I right click on icons too. The mouse is working, as the right click works within programs. I have checked the 'contextual menu items' folders and, as far as I can see, there are no offending objects. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

    hi, sorry, not posting a solution, just adding to the query... the same thing is happening to me with an old MS intellimouse mouse. seems to be random, as far as i can tell, i am right-clicking on various files, almost always to then move them to the trash.
    there, i just tried it again, the first time, i right-click, the contextual menu comes up, i click away, then right-click the same file again and this time the desktop goes empty, all files gone, a second later they're back...
    weird...

  • How to select all files in a stack? Control-click doesn't work

    how to select all files in a stack? Control-click doesn't work

    Switch to list or column view. If you must use icon view, instead of Shift-clicking items, click on an empty space near one of them and drag to enclose them.

  • Why does control-click not work?

    I just bought a used 2010 MacBook Pro, running a fresh install of OS X 10.8
    I imported my user / apps from another mac, no problem.
    Everything works fine EXCEPT CONTROL-CLICK DOESN'T BRING UP THE RIGHT CLICK MENU. If I do two-finger click, that works. But control-click doesn't.
    I have repaired disk permissions, restarted, and reset PRAM. No luck.
    Does anybody know how I might fix this?
    Thank you!!

    I believe somewhere in System Preferences > Keyboard there is an option to change the mapping of those keys. So for example pressing Control will instead register Command and so on. I can't remember exactly where though.
