macOS How to use current folder as input in Automator?

[hinkus]

Hello,

Let me preface by saying that I'm a novice at Automator and have only built really basic stuff, and I don't know AppleScript at the moment. That said, I'm trying to use vanilla Automator functions for now to solve the current challenges.

I'm trying to build a workflow or app that will delete specified file types from the currently open folder. I need to be able to purge raw file types and retain only the psd, without having to manually select the files. I haven't been able to find "current location" or anything like that as a starting point, before using something like "Get Folder Contents".

Thank you!

I would suggest using an Automator Service. You could create a Service that receives selected folders in Finder.

Info : The Service Workflow Input.
