The shortcuts app is a tantalizing glimpse of what could be. Directionally, it was a sea change for iOS when Apple acquired it and subsequently introduced its first-party iteration. But imagine the potential of Shortcuts if it were evolved into a fully-realized HyperCard successor.
- CharlesW 4y agoBTW, for anyone into iOS and macOS automation, Jason Snell's use of Shortcuts is really interesting to read about: https://sixcolors.com/tag/automation/ https://sixcolors.com/tag/automation/ > I had assumed that Apple would provide a way for Shortcuts to encode media into Apple Lossless format, but it doesn’t. The Encode Media action can encode audio, but only to M4A or AIF formats. Instead, I retreated to the command-line, since Apple provides a utility called afconvert that will let you convert audio files between an enormous number of formats, including not just Apple Lossless but the even more widely supported (and slightly more efficient) FLAC. https://sixcolors.com/post/2022/11/automate-this-audio-archiving-via-shortcuts/ https://sixcolors.com/post/2022/11/automate-this-audio-archi...
