Automator: get workflow into a right-click menu?

Let's say I have some PDF files on my desktop that I want to combine. I highlight the PDFs, right-click, choose "More >" and choose "Automator >". From there, my only option is "create workflow". Well, I already have a workflow. Is there a quick and easy way to add that "Combine PDF" workflow to this sub-menu? Sure would speed things up a bit!
Thanks!

Ah, too cool. Thank you so much. If you know, where would this plug-in be saved? I did a quick sweep through the Library and User>Me>Library in several folders (like Application Support) hunting for where the plug-ins may be stored.
Although I don't intend to remove the Combine PDF workflow, if I were to save a workflow in the future as a plug-in, I'd love to be able to reverse the process as well.
Thanks so much, though, that's *exactly* what I was hoping for!

How do I get Yahoo off the right click menu where I am searching a hi-lighted word?

If I hi-lite a word then right click the drop down menu says search Yahoo for...
I don't like Yahoo and don't want it on my browser.
I would like to use a search engine of my own choosing.
Thanks.

That item in the right-click context menu uses the default search engine as set in the search bar on the Navigation Toolbar.

HT201403 It would be very helpful for Apple to re-instate the view as icon option for a pdf file in an email on the right click menu? As far as I can see no easy way for a basic user to get this back?

Would be great for Apple to reinstate the pdf as icon in mail - but using the right click menu. It seems to have gone - and as a basic user there seems to be no simple solution - I used the rich/plain text swap but it didn't work...
Apple - we need you to solve!

It's highly doubtful that Apple will change this in Mac OS X 10.7 since that OS version has now been discontinued for quite some time. Whether they will change that in OS X 10.9 or a future version I can't say.
If this is a serious issue for you, you can look into Attachement Tamer:

It's not free, but it addresses much more than the issue of PDFs appearing as images, not icons, so it might be worth the price.

How to get rid of right click menu?

I like to mouse over a hyperlink in a web page and select "open in a new tab". The right click menu jumps in the way. I don't like or use the right click menu. How do I stop it from stopping me? As a side note, the reason I like "open in a new tab" is that some websites will open on the same page and in some events the back button will not return you to that page. I find the new tab very helpful and the right click menu a pain in the ---.
Win 8.1
Firefox - newest
Alternatively, is there a way to add "open in a new tab" to the menu that gets in the way?
I was trying to open "Sign Up/Sign In" in a new tab.
Completely irrelevant to my question, but since you see my tabs, I was watching Jon Stewart on Hulu. He was raving about the Katy Perry Superbowl show. I wanted to see what he was talking about. I don't give a flying crap in the rain about the Stupor Bowl.

The right-click menu is context-sensitive. When you right-click a link, you should have the option to open in a new tab, new window, or new private window. (In a private window, "new window" is not displayed.) The menu in your screen shot would normally appear if you clicked a blank area of the page without a link directly under the mouse pointer.
I can't think of any built-in way to get the Open in New Tab command just mousing over a hyperlink. Do you have an add-on that does that automatically for you? If so, I wonder whether it might need an update?

ITunes 9 right-click menu, 'get info' replaced with 'play/pause'

Why oh why have apple moved this... now when I want to quickly edit the tag of a file I'm playing or pausing... the most infuriating thing ever, almost as bad as when they decided to leave off "group compilations" on iPod classics.
Is there anyway to remove the play/pause option on right click menu's?!?

Agreed. It even is actually out of context in the right click menu, and here's why.
Example, I am playing Song A and then pause it and I want to deal with Song Z way at the bottom. If I right click Song Z and click Play, it continues playing Song A so the right click tool becomes VERY misleading.
Think about it. EVERY option in the Right-Click/Alt-Click box relates to the selected song(s) EXCEPT for the Play/Pause option. Sounds like a case of "which one of these is not like the other" you know? Therefore with the several other options of Space Bar, the Play/Pause button in the Upper Left hand corner, and the Control->PLAY, I'd say REMOVE it entirely from the right click menu since it doesn't belong.

How do I get the old right click menu back after updating to 7.0.1?

I want the old commands back in the right click menu rather than the new ones.

There was a bit of a change between Firefox 3.6 and earlier versions, and Firefox 4.0 and later versions, as far as context menus, but I don't see any difference is the web pages I have viewed as far as any missing items - using a default Profile in Firefox 3.6.23, 4.0.1, 5.0.1, 6.0.2 and 7.0.1 versions. The information provided is too ambiguous to provide an exact answer.
Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' 
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

How did "inspect element" get on my right click menu?

I did install several addons when this appeared. Anyone know from where this right click menu item came? My search suggested "firebug" - whatever that is. This is not on my XP but it is on my Vista and both have the same addons.
Thanks

"Inspect Element" is a new item that is added in Firefox 10. 
Previous Firefox version do not have the build-in inspector.
*http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/10.0/releasenotes/
<blockquote>Inspect tool with content highlighting, includes new CSS Style Inspector</blockquote>
You can hide that context menu entry by setting the devtools.inspector.enabled pref to false on the about:config page.

How do I add entries to PCManFM's right-click menu? [SOLVED]

Hello there,
Is there a way to customize PCManFM right-click menu? I'd like to add custom entries, for instance:
right click a folder and choose "Start slideshow" to get the following command executed: "qiv -smt <selected_folder>"
Can this be done? How?
This could be a system-wide setting or a user setting, I don't really care.
Thanks for any guidance.

Right-click menu not showing certain options?

When I highlight text, and right-click, it used to show options such as "Search Google for '(the highlighted text)'", or "Open Link in New Tab" if the text was a URL. Now, it shows none of these options, or copy, paste, cut, delete, select all, and others. I have a picture '''[http://i.imgur.com/q9N00.png here]''' as an example, and this is seriously annoying me, as the searching for highlighted text was one of my most used features. I've used multiple add-ons that edit the right-click menu, but none of them have worked.
Any ideas on how I can get it back to normal? Thanks.

dont know if this will help but heres the table i remembered :

How to display a seperate right click menu for each item of a tree control?

Hi I want to display a specific right click menu when a particular tree item is selected. I know how to create a menu and how to display it. I am using the function GetLabelFromIndex() to get the active tree item and then compare the label and based on the result display a manu for that item. Now my problem is that when I use the above function in the EVENT_RIGHT_CLICK it gives me the error "the Index passed is out of range" while using the same function with the same arguments in EVENT_SELECTION_CHANGE it gives no error...below is the part of my code
case EVENT_RIGHT_CLICK:
GetLabelFromIndex(panelHandle, PANEL_TREE, eventData2, label1);
//The function gives the stated error here
if(eventData1)//after it I compare the result and display the menu
case EVENT_SELECTION_CHANGE:
GetLabelFromIndex (panelHandle, PANEL_TREE, eventData2, label1);
//The function works fine here
if (eventData1)
If any one have any idea whats going on or alternate way of doing this Please share knowledge...Thanks
If you are young work to Learn, not to earn.

Hi,
one possible approach of solving this problem is looking closer at the error message: The error "the Index passed is out of range" tells you that something is wrong with the index, either it is too small or too large So why don't you set a breakpoint and check the index value, it might be useful information...
The other hint is to check the meaning of eventdata2 (using the help): It is different for different events! For the event_right_click it gives the horizontal mouse position, not the index as event_selection_change does...

Copying a table with the right-click menu in schema browser fails to copy comments when string has single quote(s) (ascii chr(39))

Hi,
I'm running 32-bit version of SQL Developer v. 3.2.20.09 build 09.87, and I used the built in context menu (right-clicking from the schema browser) today to copy a table. However, none of the comments copied. When I dug into the PL/SQL that the menu-item is using, I realized that it fails because it doesn't handle single quotes within the comment string.
For example, I have a table named WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT that I wanted to copy as WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1 (within same schema name)
1. I right-clicked on the object in the schema browser and selected Table > Copy...
2. In the pop-up Copy window, I entered the new table name "WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1" and ticked the box for "Include Data" option. -- The PL/SQL that the menu-command is using is in the "SQL" tab of this window. This is what I extracted later for testing the issue after the comments did not copy.
Result: Table and data copied as-expected, but no column or table comments existed.
I examined the PL/SQL block that the pop-up window issued, and saw this:
declare
l_sql varchar2(32767);
c_tab_comment varchar2(32767);
procedure run(p_sql varchar2) as
begin
     execute immediate p_sql;
end;
begin
run('create table "BI_ETL".WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1 as select * from "BI_ETL"."WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT" where '||11||' = 11');
select comments into c_tab_comment from sys.all_TAB_comments where owner = 'BI_ETL' and table_name = 'WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT' and comments is not null;
run('comment on table BI_ETL.WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1 is '||''''||c_tab_comment||'''');
for tc in (select column_name from sys.all_tab_cols where owner = 'BI_ETL' and table_name = 'WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT')
    loop
   for c in (select comments from sys.all_col_comments where owner = 'BI_ETL' and table_name = 'WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT' and column_name=tc.column_name)
   loop
   run ('comment on column BI_ETL.WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1.'||tc.column_name||' is '||''''||c.comments||'''');
end loop;
end loop;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN NULL;
end;
The string of the table comment on WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT is this:
WBIG table of frozen, point-in-time snapshots of Enrolled Students by Category/term/pidm. "Category" is historically, and commonly, our CENSUS snapshot; but, can also describe other frequencies, or categorizations, such as: End-of-Term (EOT), etc. Note: Prior to this table existing, Census-snapshots were stored in SATURN.SNAPREG_ALL. All FALL and SPRING term records prior-to-and-including Spring 2013 ('201230') have been migrated into this table -- EXCEPT a few select prior to Fall 2004 (200410) records where there are duplicates on term/pidm. NO Summer snapshots existed in SNAPREG_ALL, but were queried and stored retroactively (including terms prior to Spring 2013) for the purpose of future on-going year-over-year analysis and comparison.
Note the single quotes in the comment: ... ('201230')
So, in the above PL/SQL line 11 grabs this string into "c_tab_comment", but then line 12 fails because of the single quotes. It doesn't know how to end the string because the single quotes in the string are not "escaped", and this messes up the concatenation on line 12. (So, then no other column comments are created either because the block throws an error, and goes to line 22 for the exception and exits.)
When I modify the above PL/SQL as my own anonymous block like this, it is successful:
declare
c_tab_comment VARCHAR2(32767);
begin
SELECT REPLACE(comments,chr(39),chr(39)||chr(39)) INTO c_tab_comment FROM sys.all_TAB_comments WHERE owner = 'BI_ETL'   AND table_name = 'WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT' AND comments IS NOT NULL;
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'comment on table BI_ETL.WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1 is '''||c_tab_comment||'''';
for tc in (select column_name from sys.all_tab_cols where owner = 'BI_ETL' and table_name = 'WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT')
    loop
   for c in (select REPLACE(comments,chr(39),chr(39)||chr(39)) comments from sys.all_col_comments where owner = 'BI_ETL' and table_name = 'WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT' and column_name=tc.column_name)
   loop
   EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'comment on column BI_ETL.WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1.'||tc.column_name||' is '||''''||c.comments||'''';
end loop;
end loop;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN NULL;
end;
On lines 4 and 8 I wrapped the "comments" from sys.all_tab_comments and sys.all_col_comments with a replace command finding every chr(39) and replacing with chr(39)||chr(39). (On line 8 I also had to alias the wrapped column as "comments" so line 10 would succeed.)
Is this an issue with SQL Developer? Is there any chance that the menu-items can handle single quotes in comment strings? ... And, of course this makes me wonder which other context menu commands in the tool might have a similar issue.
Thoughts?
thanks//jacob

I know about quick drop, but it isn't helpful here. I want to be able to right click on a string or array wire, navigate to the string or array palette, and select the corresponding "Empty?" comparator. In this case, since I do actually know where those functions live, and I'm already using my mouse to right click on the wire, typing ctrl-space to open quick drop and then typing in the function name is actually more work than navigating to it in the palette. It would just be nice to have it on hand in the location I naturally go to look for it the first time.
I don't agree with this work flow. Right hand on mouse, left hand on home keys. Pressing CTRL + Space is done with the left hands, and then you could assign "ea" to "Empty Array" both of which is accessible with the left hand. Darren posted a bunch of great shortcuts for the right handed developer.

This is much faster than waiting for any right click menu navigation, even if it is found in the suggested subpalette.

How to remove the option "Set as default background..." from the right-click menu on a picture, for all users.

Hi! I would like to know if there is any possibility to remove the option "Set as default background..." from the right-click menu on a picture, for all users. I know that's possible to edit userContent.css or userChrome.css, but this concerns only a profile at a time and being in a domain, I would like to set this for all people using Firefox.
Can it be possible to edit a mozilla.cfg file to get the same result?
Thank you in advance for help and tips.

AFAIK then there is no way to do that system wide. You can only do that via userChrome.css or an extension like the Menu Editor per profile .You can install extensions globally, but the user will have to enable them anyway. That is not required for userChrome.css code.

How to know the sales order closed using right click menu -Close ???

I have an sales order with ten item, I have copied the same to delivery and before adding the Delivery I have deleted some items. After adding the Delivery, I manually closed the sales order by using the "right click menu close".
The Open Quantity of those lines are already closed while i Close it manually.
Now i need a report regarding the sales orders which i have closed manually. Any Options??

Check the below result

See the last line data...it have open quantity of 5 and it also have the target type 15, If I close the sales order with docentry 4 manually using right click, the open quantity will be Zero..
I need that last line result also as my output..
Hope you understand my problem.
Thank You

Run time prompts not appearing when launching BR from a right click menu

Hi!
I have a problem when trying to launch a business rule from a right click menu which is assigned to a dataform.
The rule launches but does not show/ask for the run time prompts as it should do. The run-time prompts should not be hidden (I checked also Eas and data form selections).
When using the rule form the Tools-Business Rules menu, the rule works fine. It prompts for the required variables and as they are filled in, the rule does what it is expected to.
Also, when using the same rule attached into a form (and selected "use members on form"&"run on save") the rule works correctly.
We are using version 11.1.2.1.
I already have tried restarting Planning services but without success.
What might cause this?
kind regards,
user637777

Hi!
I found out from the Oracle knowledge base:
This issue is caused by unpublished Bug 11064867 - RIGHT CLICK MENUS NOT RENDERING RUN TIME PROMPTS
In version 931 run time prompts worked correctly when launching them from a right click menu, I checked this out.
In our current version I got this working (this is kind of a workaround) by adding a new RTP variable (using the same dimension as the original RTP variable). This way I got the rule to "ask for more information" (like what were you asking for? ) and not running the rule without interruptions. This instruction was given in Oracle support (knowledge base).
kind regards,
