Hi, I'm trying to display the input filename in a notification using Automator. Here is my Applescript:
on run {input, parameters}
display notification input with title "Action done" subtitle "Completed"
return input
end run
Is there a way to display the filename/basename of input?
Thanks
The syntax for display notification can be found here. The following syntax tests correctly in macOS 11.6.6 with Automator:
use scripting additions
on run {input, parameters}
tell application "Finder" to set basename to name of (input as alias) as text
display notification basename with title "Action done" subtitle "Completed"
return input
end run
Output looks like this:
You are passing a POSIX (UNIX) filename path into a Run AppleScript where you must convert that path syntax to Apple's expected (HFS) file format.
Thanks, running that script on it's own does indeed work
However, I'm using it after a Run Shell Script command:
and get an error:
I'm using 12.2.1. Any ideas how to get them working together?
ah not to worry, I managed to launch it from the shell script
osascript -e "display notification...
