What's new in GraphicConverter? macOS SHORTCUTS have been added! I thought they were going to wait until GraphicConverter 13! #Shortcuts #ShortcutsApp #Apple #macOS #GraphicConverter https://www.lemkesoft.info/sparkle/graphicconverter/notes/6799.html

I’m trying something new, which is to share some of my personal day-to-day workflows in a series I’m calling Wicked Workflows.

First up, a way you can use Shortcuts, Things and One Thing to keep you focused on one task.

Here’s a strange thing. IF I DO create a HomeKit Scene called “Morning” it works fine. The HomePods run the scene without confirmation, sound, anything. Just works.

If I say hey Siri “Good Morning” (with no scene or Shortcut called “Good Morning”) it will run the “Morning” scene AND give me a little da-ding confirmation that it ran successfully.

All I’m trying to do is create a SHORTCUT that turns on a bunch of lights and then speaks the words “Good morning” to me, like a nice little House AI would say to greet it’s homeowner.

I have a pair of OG HomePods. I have tried unsuccessfully to create a SHORTCUT called “Good Morning”. In my EXTENSIVE testing I can’t make Siri (via HomePods) recognize that Shortcut. If I rename it to… “Wicked” or some other word it works.

I DO NOT have a HomeKit SCENE called Good Morning or anything with the word Morning in it.

“Morning” has to be some messed up reserved word deep in Siri and associated with Scenes and not allowed for use in a Shortcut.

Are there any macOS Shortcut experts?

I’m trying to do a REGEX replace, to replace decimal commas in a CSV with periods. I have this REGEX in the replace action:

(?<=[0-9]+),(?=[0-9]+)

I have set the action to be case insensitive

Here’s the shortcut: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/6f9acd95ac194a08aee3cf6c99ff222c

In VSCode, it correctly finds the occurrences, but the Shortcut action doesn’t do anything

Anyone knows what’s up?

Getting back into the swing of things! B13 of the Shortcuts plugin for #Elgato's Stream Deck is out, featuring #OpenAI's 5x new voices!

Fixes:
- A bug with audio generation
- An incorrectly named file, causing 'Nova' to not function correctly

Please hound me with any feedback!

In today’s episode of “I can build a shortcut for that,” I built a shortcut that answers the question, “What Month Is It?” Seems like a shortcut that shouldn’t be necessary, but whatever.

#duckduckfedi Please advise.
Is there a way to send a bit of data somewhere from an iPhone in a way that a Linux PC would pick up once it's booted and do *something* with it (preferably in a form of a Python/Ruby script)?

I tried using iOS's #Shortcuts to write to a Dropbox file, and it's doable but tedious to work on and debug.

Released v2025.0.4 β of my new #macOS app #BarCuts (https://actions.work/barcuts) last night, and I have a feeling that it'll be the last beta version before release!

https://forum.actions.work/t/barcuts-beta-2025-0-4/616

(BarCuts shows your #Shortcuts workflows where you need them, when you need them. It's quite handy.)

Give me 55s of your time, and I'll explain my new app BarCuts to you!

#BarCuts is a #macOS menu bar app that displays #Shortcuts workflows. It allows you to "tag" workflows to an app. When that app is active and in front, BarCuts will show its tagged workflows in a menu. It's pretty nice!

Rocket – the best emoji app for Mac

‘Shortcut Source Tool’ can now compare two #Shortcuts for differences (requires a-Shell mini)
https://routinehub.co/shortcut/5256/

I just found a method to avoid having to be pestered by the banner when a #shortcut is running from control center or Home Screen. It involves using the url scheme to run the shortcut you want and then opening the app you were in when initiating it (or you could have it return to Home Screen). This causes the shortcut to run from inside the #shortcuts app instead of showing the banner.

If Shortcuts.app is to play any role in Apple's AI Siri initiative, I can only advise everyone to sell all shares IMMEDIATELY. #Apple #shortcuts #siri

SAVE AS PDF… (REVISITED) on #macOS

Save an email (and other documents) as PDF simply via Keyboard-#Shortcuts was so cool and easy!

Apple made some changes with macOS Ventura that broke the “Save as PDF…” #workflow.
(in german use "Als PDF sichern …“)

If you’ve never tried this trick, you should.

It really speeds up the process of making PDFs on your Mac.

Thanks to @macsparky

Here’s a video explaining what changed and how to fix it:
