Thank you very much John. I've eventually create my services in Automator. Automator requires a service to register whether it takes input from the selection or not. The service will then only work if the condition is met. Which is a pain because it is thus not possible to create a default behavior (without input) and a new behavior (with input). Basically I am using "run shell script" with the $@ variable, but I had to stop doing that since most of my use cases did not involve a selection... I wish it were possible to write services directly outside of Automator (like with AS perhaps) but that looks like quite an endeavor... > On Mon, Apr 18, 2011 at 9:59 PM, Jean-Christophe Helary > <[email protected]> wrote: >> Is there a way to "easily" create system services without using Automator ? >> And possibly without using 3rd party software ? >> >> I find that Automator is too slow for very fast actions and I'd like a >> faster way to do what I want to do... >> >> I thought about Applescript but what about packaging the script into a >> recognized service ?
