The Daily WTF Submit Automator Service
Thursday, October 28, 2010 at 5:15PM The guys at TDWTF created a Visual Studio plugin for submitting WTF articles.
I thought a Mac OS X Automator Service would cover pretty much all bases on Mac, so here it is.
The Automator service is callable from (almost*) any app that lets you select text :)
*some non Cocoa apps (e.g. Java) such as IntelliJ do not support Services.
To install: Unzip the download into your ~/Library/Services folder.
To use:
- Select some text in and app.
- Goto the 'Services' menu - this depends on the app, either right click the selected text, or goto the Apple in the menu
- Once in the Services Menu navigate to select Service -> SubmitWTF
- Follow the on-screen prompts
Some minus points:
- Java apps do not tend to support Services at all
- The Service UI is a series of single field dialog boxes - if anyone knows how to create single page input form in Automator please let me know.
- It is always set to publish - easily fixed, but with /another/ dialog box

Note that Firefox does not support 'Service' in the page context menu so the 'Services' are accessed from the main menu
