Is it possible to use hazel to watch a folder (Screenshots) and when there’s a new screenshot added to the folder hazel will run a script to upload the image to google drive (or dropbox) and make it publicly available and copy the url to the clipboard.
I’m guessing this requires a lot of code to create this script. I hope someone can help me. thanks
hi ikai
if you have a little experience with applescript and interface scripting you can adjust this script. what this script does it copies the file you select to /Dropbox/Public , creates the link to it and puts the link into an email. unfortunately i don’t have the time to adjust it to your needs but it should be feasible:
#set home folder path to myPath variable
set myPath to path to home folder as string
#add specific location to myPath variable
set myPath to myPath & “Dropbox:Public”
tell application “Finder”
#add selected file path to theFile variable
set theFile to the selection as alias
#copy the selected file to myPath destination
copy file theFile to folder myPath
#create the path to pasted file
set fileName to name of theFile
set newPath to myPath & “:” & fileName
#bring the finder as front app and highlight the copied file
set frontmost to true
reveal newPath
end tell
tell application “System Events” to tell application process “Finder”
#add the highlighted file to selectedFile variable in order to use the UIElements attributes
set selectedFile to value of attribute “AXFocusedUIElement”
#show the contectual menu
tell selectedFile to perform action “AXShowMenu”
delay 2
#copy a specific item from menu to the clipboard
keystroke “Copy Dropbox Link”
key code 36
delay 2
#paste the clipboard to dropboxLink variable
set dropboxLink to the clipboard
end tell
#set sender
set senderEmail to “person@company.com”
tell application “Mail”
activate
#Create new email message
set MyMessage to make new outgoing message
#Set the attributes of the email
set subject of MyMessage to “Dropbox Link”
#set the content of the message
set content of MyMessage to dropboxLink
#set the sender
set sender of MyMessage to senderEmail
end tell
