Hi Everybody. I'm completely new to Mac; just got my Macbook Pro yesterday. I'm loving it and everything is working as it should but I could use a little help with the Automator and Speech Feedback apps. I have Googled the issue and ran a search through this forum.
These articles were more or less on point but the steps I want to complete aren't available. ATPM 15.11 - How To: Making Your Own Speakable Items and ATPM 12.07 - How To: Maybe You Ought To Be Using Automator
I installed Adobe Photoshop Elements and Google Chrome. I dragged both into Speakable Items and simplified the names to "Open Email" and "Open Photoshop." Both work as planned. Now I would like to create Automator actions to quit both of those apps without speaking the entire name. However, when I try to create an Automator workflow with Quit Application, those two apps are not available. For example, I can navigate to the Elements folder but Photoshop Elements Editor is grayed out. (It is available in Finder and in Applications) Any suggestions on how to create this action would be appreciated.
Thanks.
John
