Hi, Glad it works for you. You can do with it whatever seems best to you. Either insert it into an existing work flow, are start over. I have posted a newer one. I found that it wasn't handling a list of values from a variable quite right, but that might not matter to you. If all you are w

Excellent! Worked like a charm. Now, do I insert this action into my previous workflow, or create a new one? Thanks for your assistance with this. Traci On Sep 20, 2013, at 11:40 AM, Barry Hadder wrote: > Ok, sorry about that. This should > work:https://www.dropbox.com/s/ubeo2awo11xs9sv/Sen

If the image name has the information, pssibly, otherwise I doubt it. I also don't think the event name could be changed every day, but I am likely wrong on that front. If you are going by the image name, it might be easier to just make a script to speak your desktop's image file name. On Sep 2,

Hi all, Ok, I think I am successful so far, but of course, I want to expand on this. Lol! I found directions online for creating a workflow to set my desktop wallpaper to the astronomy picture of the day. http://www.peachpit.com/blogs/blog.aspx?uk=Mac-Productivity-Quick-Scripts-and-Workflows--
