Inquiring minds want to know. What is the story behind that Milennium Falcon out on David’s patio???
Stephen mentioned how he’s run into issues handling files with Dropbox’s Finder client since the folders aren’t all synced on his Mac. I’ve run into similar issues with Google Drive for design assets at work. Our Drive is too large to fully sync on my Mac, and it causes many shortcuts file actions to behave unexpectedly.
I was able to circumnavigate these issues with a bit of a clunky brute force shortcut that uses copy/paste commands enabled by BetterTouchTool. This shortcut I built a year or so ago lets me archive iterations of design files when we receive feedback from clients.
I’m sure there are ways to streamline. Let me know if y’all have had success with cloud-based Google Drive files in any other way!
In the episode @beardfm mentions an audio cleanup tool. It doesn’t appear to be linked from the show notes. I’m guessing he was mentioning: https://www.izotope.com/en/products.html/
Since they have a confusing array of products, at jaw dropping price points, I wonder which was being mentioned.
I’ve been traveling and only started listening to this episode yesterday. But a new (to me) product was mentioned: Gling. It seems the website is here: https://www.gling.ai
Although off topic for a Finder episode, I certainly hope the boys discuss this product (plusses and minuses) at some point in the nearish future.
Stephen mentioned an applescript he runs via Hazel that converts .webp to .png (or maybe to .jpg). Does anyone have a link as he mentioned discussing it on the socials but I can’t find the post anywhere
Fans of this episode that also have Keyboard Maestro, might find the below useful; it’s a macro I recently shared on the Keyboard Maestro forum:
@beardfm, have you jumped on the Keyboard Maestro bandwagon yet. 
Love the hacky way around this! I’ve also developed some Shortcuts for uploading to Dropbox via API, unfortunately there’s a MB cap so the raw WAV files from MPU recordings, etc., aren’t able to go through the Shortcut
Hey! Sorry forgot that link, yes it’s Izotope RX11 that I use. It’s expensive, yes, but I process all my audio, for all podcasts and videos through it, so it’s worth it. BUT the parent company, Native Instruments recently announced they’re no longer going to make the product. So I wouldn’t jump on these tools right now.
Gling.ai is amazing and what I use for all my videos. David starting using as well. I show and explain it in this video: https://youtu.be/Wn7V3WLBjPw?si=6BFomRmA_89XCGDE
Here’s the script I’m using!
set inputPath to POSIX path of theFile
set outputPath to (POSIX path of (path to desktop)) & (text 1 thru -6 of (do shell script "basename " & quoted form of inputPath)) & “.jpg”
do shell script "sips -s format jpeg " & quoted form of inputPath & " --out " & quoted form of outputPath
Not yet 
I think David and I will be doing a monthly member episode where he gives me a crash course
