Then write code like this, don’t forget in the selection field `Pass Input` choose `as argument`: Choose library category on the left side, then drag `filter finder items` component into the workflow space, then drag component `run shell script` from `Utilities` category below `files and folders` component.In the field `Workflow Receives Current` select `files and foldres`, then in the field `in` choose `Finder`.After you choose quick action, you will see this window :.Open Automator App > New Document > Quick Action, You will see window like this :.Fortunately, we can use Automator app to make a Cut program or service in Mac OS. So we need to make these feature so that our activities are easier. We already know, cut feature is very important for our activities in the computer. Of course, there are a lot of duplication, and we can remove wrong file or folder, and of course that are so annoying. More over when we are copying a lot of file / folder, then the process stopped suddenly, we don’t know what the file / folder has been copied or not. Actually we can use Copy or Duplicate, but it’s not effective for me, because sometimes we forgot what the file or folder were being copied. That function is more important when we use Mac OS, because there aren’t a Cut function in that folder management (Finder).

However, when I click run or step, instead of going and opening up the correct window ('Untitled'), the cursor moves to the Media button in automator, and clicks that instead! But the application is definitely listed as the correct one.Cut and paste, I don’t think it’s a very useful function when we are cleaning file or folder in our computer. I then found a little piece of apple script to wait 1 minute and I plug the first action into that for the wait function. This starts with the 'bring window Untitled to the front', and then the second command is press command+R.

I've tried to do this already in automator by using the 'watch me do' function. I do this 3 times in total, so I want to automate the 3 times, so I can walk away from the computer and it will read 3 times automatically. Manually I press Command+R wait for the application to read some data form a physical device for 1 minute, then press command+R again to take another reading (at this point it asks me if I want to save the data, so I press tab, tab and then space bar to select to save the data. I'm using a Mac, OSX 10.6 and I have a function in a desktop application that I want to automate.
