    i need a help please - using Shortcuts App, is it possible to replicate the 'option+command+h+m' feature i.e. to minimise all apps/windows? in windows we can use 'windows+D' to minimise all apps.

    • @macvince
      @macvince  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Unfortunately, there are no automations on macOS, so you can't let it automatically open a file. However, there's a neat trick in the Calendar app that let's you add a file as the reminder, so it can automatically be opened at a set date and time. I showcased this trick in my 50 macOS tips video, at 05:55: th-cam.com/video/0rrwPTVjVOA/w-d-xo.html Hope this helps!

      @@aaronthemann8384 No problem! It can't launch shortcuts, unfortunately, that's the only drawback of the macOS shortcuts app (that it lacks automations). However, there's an app called Shortery that should enable automations on Mac - I haven't tried it out yet, but it looks like it could solve your problem.

  • @novalidname

    Thank you for the recent video. I have been researching and experimenting with the Shortcuts app on Mac for about two weeks now. Could you please create a tutorial video on how to create an automated folder in Finder with the following functionality:
    1. Only run when the folder is opened
    2. When the folder is opened, the Mac automatically activates the screen saver or enters the lock screen mode.
    In simpler terms, this automation feature requires Touch ID/passcode authentication to unlock the Mac when a user opens the designated automated folder.
    I have searched for various resources and guides on Google, but they haven't achieved the desired outcome. If I'm not mistaken, starting from iOS 16.4, Apple introduced automation features (such as activating the screen lock when opening an app), but I'm not certain about macOS.
    Thank you.

      @macvince  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey, thanks for watching! Unfortunately, there's no way to use Shortcuts Automations (the ones you know from iPhone) on Mac yet, it's simply not supported. So am I right that you want to "lock" a folder so nobody except you can access it?

      @@macvince That's right. I have looked into the process of encrypting files and folders using .dmg, but I still want to lock them with a more automated tool.

    Man your video effects are a bit too much.
    First time watching a video of yours, but the flashiness is just way over the top, it’s pretty distracting. If it was an ad for a product cool, but I just want to learn something, video doesn’t need to be all over the place in effects.
    Anyway, I’m sure I’m the only one, and I’m sure you don’t care, just a random opinion is all. I did enjoy the content though

    • @macvince
      @macvince  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I do care - thank you for your feedback! Editing is a big hobby of mine and I love adding in little easter eggs, cool animations and transitions - so sometimes I can get a bit too excited. However, I created this channel because I got bored by a lot of Mac tutorials just showing a screen recording with a voice over for 15 minutes. I'm sorry if it was a bit too over-the-top for your liking - and I totally understand that, it's not for everyone. I'm still trying to find the balance between fun/engaging content and the tutorial aspect, so your feedback helps me improve on that. Thanks again and hope you've learned something new despite the flashiness!
