Send via Bluetooth by right-clicking on Mac

Thanks to u/Ayamykee on r/mac:

  1. Cmd+Space -> Automator -> create “Quick Action”

  2. Set:

    • Workflow receives current: "files or folders"
    • in: “Finder”
  3. Add (drag & drop) “Run Shell Script”, set:

    • Shell: /bin/bash
    • Pass input: “as arguments”
  4. Paste this:

    for f in "$@"; do
      open -a "Bluetooth File Exchange" "$f"
    done
    
  5. File -> Save… -> “Send via Bluetooth”

  6. Test it: Now it’ll show up in Finder > Right-click > Quick Actions

🌳 ripe — contents of this article got classified among complete works that I have edited and published as a cohesive whole. They are similar to a traditional blog post published at a point in time in that way—though I still tend these over time.
