.build/release/MejicMejic reads ~/.config/mejic/commands.yaml and writes one Automator .workflow bundle per enabled command into ~/Library/Services/. macOS Services appear natively in Finder's right-click menu — no daemon, no Finder extension, no code signing.
Hitting Save in the popover:
- Writes the updated YAML
- Deletes old Mejic workflows from
~/Library/Services/ - Writes new ones
- Calls
pbs -updateto refresh the Services cache immediately
Config lives at ~/.config/mejic/commands.yaml:
- label: Copy Path command: echo {file} | pbcopy enabled: true - label: Open in VS Code command: open -a 'Visual Studio Code' {file} enabled: true - label: Make Executable command: chmod +x {file} enabled: true - label: Compress Video command: ffmpeg -i {file} -crf 28 {file}_compressed.mp4 enabled: true
{file} is replaced with the selected file's full path, double-quoted: "${f}". For commands that reference {file} multiple times, each occurrence is substituted independently.
Quoting tip: do not wrap {file} in single quotes — it already gets double-quoted. Shell-escape other arguments normally.
| What | Command |
|---|---|
| Copy path | echo {file} | pbcopy |
| Open in Sublime | open -a 'Sublime Text' {file} |
| SHA256 checksum | shasum -a 256 {file} | pbcopy |
| Move to Desktop | mv {file} ~/Desktop/ |
| New Terminal here | open -a Terminal {file} |
| Word count | wc -l {file} | pbcopy |
