Using Easy Data Transform with Keyboard Maestro on your Mac

I use the combination KM and EDT often, here two examples.

The KM Macro is started by a keystroke on a Stream Deck.It deletes first some old files from former executions and start EDT with an transformation which I run then in Batch mode evaluating about 80 files.

The following one is similar, started by Stream Deck Key. It runs EDT within terminal in command line mode. First again some old files are deleted. Then in a for loop about 300 files are evaluates and some datails collected in one output file. In the next step another EDT transformation is called and the resulting file from the loop is evaluated and report details are written in some files. In the last steps the resulting file and some others are opened and moved on the screen that they are all visible and can be compared or data can be copied over between them. When this one is started I go to pick something to drink, it might need some minutes to execute. When I’m back the results are presented without further interaction.

@prashant You might see in one of the comments the second example had a predecessor step using Hazel. So all three are combined :grinning:
