automatormacosnotifications
I've made an Automator application that runs displays a notification and then runs a shell script. Works fine. However, the notification centre doesn't display the name of the application, but instead shows some garbled code. I'm using Mavericks. How can I fix this?
It worked for me as long as pass input was set to as arguments. You could try restarting or creating a new identical service like that.
You have to URL encode the input though:
open https://translate.google.com/#auto/auto/$(ruby -rcgi -e 'print CGI.escape(STDIN.read)')
Or if you don't want to use ruby:
xxd -p | tr -d '\n' | sed 's/\(..\)/%\1/g'
The Automator script does not automatically share your Terminal.app profile. Paths to additional tools may not be found because Automator's script can not find them.
Try expanding your script to include the absolute or full path to the ffmpeg you want to use:
for f in "$@"
do
/opt/local/bin/ffmpeg -i "$f" -c:v copy -c:a aac -b:a 384k -strict -2 "${f%.*}.m4v"
done
Alternatively, bring in your Terminal.app profile using the approach to this question, My Automator Workflow fails because it fails to find the git command within the 'Run Shell Script' command? Need help.

In Finder, go to ThisAutomatorThing.app
Right click. Show Package Contents.
Go to folder /Contents/, and open Info.plist file with a text editor. Find something like:
If the string is exactly the gibberish in notification, replace it with you app name.
You MIGHT need to 1) reset LaunchServices to delete the old cache and reflect the change:
AND/OR, 2) reset LaunchPad:
