Then again, I choose the 'Test1' service.

Then I did the same tests as before: First, select some text, right-click, and choose the 'DEVONthink 3: Summarize' service. I changed the service name in the Test1.workflow to 'DEVONthink 3: Summarize' (and pressed the Tab key afterwards), then saved the workflow. Then I tried the same with an action from DEVONthink 3: it sends its input (the selected text) to the 'FAF: Find Name' service, it also works with the same result. Since the Test1 workflow basically does the same, i.e. Then I repeat, this time choosing the 'Test1' service. The Services offers are, amoung others:įirst, I make sure the immediate service works, so I choose 'FAF: Find Name' and I see that it works: FAF gets opened and has the selected text entered as the search text. Now, I open TextEdit, type some text, select it, and right-click on the text. I press the TAB key to make sure that the entered service name is accepted (if I don't, it often keeps using a previous entered name!). 'Workflow receives current Automatic (text) in any application'). I leave all other options in their default state (e.g. after I've installed my own app 'Find Any File' ( ), I enter: 'FAF: Find Name'. I add the installed 'Run Service' to the workflow.

I open Automator, create a new document and choose 'Service' (in macOS 11 it's called 'Quick Action').

Here's what I did to test if the Action works at all (macOS 10.13.6): And it's Keyboard Maestro v9.2, I assume? Ronald, I assume you replied to my tool, it's hard to tell in this forum system.īefore I go further, please tell me which macOS version you're using.
