Sep 5, 2014 3:48 AM in response to kdnavratby VikingOSX,There are three criteria for an Automator Service to correctly function:
- The workflow cannot have coding, logic, or runtime errors. This should be debugged in AppleScript Editor.
- The service is enabled in System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Services
- Something must be selected, before your service will appear in the Services sub-menu.
- A file object in Finder
- A string of text in a document
- A selected video or music track in iTunes
- Etc.
