Steve Troughton-SmithHere's some 25-year-old Finder arcana for you:
If you hold the command key, you can drag and drop files, apps, applets etc into Finder's toolbar for one click access
Chris Silverman 🌻@stroughtonsmith I thought I knew every Finder trick by this point, and I had no idea this existed. I'm amazed.
It does look like there's a non-AppleScript/Automator way to run shortcuts, though:
- link to a shortcut using its URL scheme, shortcuts://run-shortcut?name=whatever
- save the link as a webloc/inetloc file
- then drag that file to the toolbar the way you did.
You can even pass parameters to the shortcut that way.
Benjamin@csilverman @stroughtonsmith Question: does the shortcuts app opens when you execute the webloc file from finder?
I am asking you this because this could be a way to open a shortcuts url scheme on iPadOS without opening the Shortcuts app
@ben_rearden @stroughtonsmith yeah, Shortcuts opens and then the shortcut automatically runs.
Shortcuts doesn't have to be *already* open for this to work, but as far as I can tell, it does have to be *running* for this to work (i.e. the Shortcuts app automatically launches when you open the webloc)
I'm referring to how things work on macOS, though. Haven't tested this on iPadOS yet.
