I haven't used Automator much yet, mainly because I haven't found its features useful. But there's one task I do more than anything: adding music I've downloaded from the internet to iTunes.
I've created an Automator script that does the following:
1) Get folder contents
2) Add files to playlist
No problems so far, it does exactly what it's supposed to do.
However, since I let iTunes copy the music files to the iTunes folder there's no need to keep the old files. So I tried adding the following Automator task to the end of the workflow:
3) Move to trash
The problem is it doesn't move the original files to the trash - it deletes the already copied files that is now located in the iTunes folder.
Are there any solutions to this?
Also, I tried adding a keyboard shortcut to the workflow, with no success. I exported the script as a plugin module for finder, and tried adding a new keyboard shortcut with the same name as the finder plugin. No luck. Am I doing it wrong?
