I used the "Prompt for User Input" and "Execute Shell Script" actions. This is what my macro looks like in Keyboard Maestro. I can paste the clipboard data in Slack, Email, Facebook, or anyplace I need. The meeting is at 4:00 PM EDT / 3:00 PM CDT / 1:00 PM PST Dialog BoxĪfter clicking 'ok' the following data is in the clipboard: When I select the entry, a dialog box opens up and asks me to select the meeting time.Īfter I click 'OK' the output of the Macro will be sent to the clipboard. This macro is triggered via the status menu - since it's something that I don't use all the time. Instead of giving up, I decided to make a quick action in Keyboard Maestro. I thought there would be some plug in to automatically display a time in EDT to other timezones. I was looking for an easy way to let them know the time of the meeting using Slack. This past week I was scheduling a meeting with a counterpart in California. The "pause" is needed because Keyboard Maestro works immediately when the device is connected - the file system doesn't even see it yet. Next week I'll show you the "official" way to do this using Keyboard Maestro There is a better way to do this in Keyboard Maestro using a lot of the built-in actions. Bash CodeĬd /Volumes/IC RECORDER/REC_FILE/FOLDER01ĭir="/Users/cryan/Music/Sony/"$(stat -f%SB -t%Y-%m-%d "$f") I can still move the files if I want, but I am guaranteed that a backup copy was made to the computer. Now when I insert the Sony Recorder, the files automatically get copied. Each audio should be in a folder with the date the recording was made.

When the device is inserted into the computer, copy the files from the Internal 4GB memory to the ~/Music/Sony/ folder. I decided to create a Keyboard Maestro Macro that would do that process automatically.
KEYBOARD MAESTRO WIKI DOWNLOAD
In order to download the audio from the recorder, I need to connect the device to the computer and drag the files from the device to my hard drive. Its a powerful audio recorder that saves files on the internal drive or the microSD expansion. Last Summer I purchased a Sony IC Recorder (ICD-UX570). Copy File = Move the selected file to the directory.If All Conditions Meet Actions - Check to see if the file already got moved over.Create New Folder - Create a new folder if it doesn't exists.



KEYBOARD MAESTRO WIKI CODE
While the BASH code is shorter in code, I feel the Keyboard Maestro version is more flexible in doing other actions. This is a great example of understanding the power that Keyboard Maestro has.
KEYBOARD MAESTRO WIKI HOW TO
In this week's post, I'll show you how to use Keyboard Maestro's actions to perform the same BASH function. This week's is a followup to the "Keyboard Maestro Copy File" blog post. You can find all the details on how to add a new Clipboard Filter Trigger on the Keyboard Maestro Wiki. This is useful when you have a list of names that you want to shuffle. Now you can easily shuffle the contents of the clipboard. This way you can still get the previous clipboard item for future action. A new clipboard entry is created and you can paste the content in. When you apply a filter they don't happen immediately. There are 21 filters included with every Keyboard Maestro installation: Additional FiltersĪlong with copy/pasting previous items, you can apply some filters to the text in the clipboard history. By default Keyboard Maestro will hold the last 200 items in the Clipboard History. You can easily activate the Clipboard History Switcher and get back any content that was put in the clipboard. One of the neat things about Keyboard Maestro is the Clipboard History.
