Create mac Service or use for script "Convert" button

Post by otrokhymchuk »

Hello everyoneGraphicconverter 9 for mac has button "Convert" on browser window.How can I use this button in Applescript or in Automator to make a service.The point is to convert a folder with PSD files to JPG from finder, with preset settings, like JPG 80%, use batch to filter only PSD files and convert in subfolder, etc.. That folder may have a lot of subfolders and the result should include all subfolders.I found how to use convert service, but it only allows me to change the quality of JPG and save it in the same location where the PSD file was located.Did anyone bother with the same question here?

Thorsten Lemke,I thought you attached an image in your reply and it doesn't open, but obviously it is some kind of a signature.And you wrote to use convert file applescript command.Maybe you have a link to an example of how it's used? That would really help.But anyway, thanks for your answer :)Best Regards,Oleksandr
