That's right, you can also write actions that work on files, but I don't think you can write one that works on contacts or other types. You can't write one that works for just images, though I assume you can write one that works on files, checks if it's an image and does something with it. It will just appear for all files, even those that aren't images. At one point I wrote one that took text in the first pane and searched for a contact of that name to add a timestamp to the note field. I tried using it by calling up a contact in the first pane and then hitting . to turn the name into text and then using the action. It seemed to be one step too many to use often and was slow. I tried the QuickLook one and it didn't work for me. It appeared as a choice in the 2nd pane but did nothing when run on a txt file. I'm using B54, I don't know if that's an issue. Howard
