Batch Converting Shortcuts to Scripts and Applets
To streamline the process, I turned, of course, to Shortcuts itself. In total, I’ve created four shortcuts to help me deploy my favorite shortcuts across macOS:
- Script Builder: Generates
.scptfiles that can be incorporated in other apps from multiple shortcuts using AppleScript- Dock Applet Builder: Creates Dock applets from shortcuts that can be launched from the Finder, app launchers, and more
- Script Applet Builder: Converts shortcuts into AppleScript applets with custom icons that behave like Dock applets but don’t get automatically deposited in your Dock
- PopClip Builder: Produces and streamlines installation of multiple PopClip extensions with custom icons that run shortcuts
It’s probably better to use .applescript for the file extension, since .scpt is for compiled scripts.
