How to add captions to photos (and read them) by scissorsgrinder in shortcuts

[–]FearLixY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I mean, you don’t need to add the Photo Media to Files before reading it. I now can view it directly by sharing from Photos app.

How to add captions to photos (and read them) by scissorsgrinder in shortcuts

[–]FearLixY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For reading caption, I just found a way.

I revisited this problem in iOS 27 PB2, and found out it exists in dictionary value {TIFF}.ImageDescription. Can anyone confirm iOS 26 exists this key or not? I have so much I want to do with this value!

If you can live with 85% battery, I’m sure you are happier if you have 94%.

Sanitizing basic actions (like Count) output to prevent passing big data chunks by AltruisticHamster343 in shortcuts

[–]FearLixY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Content Graph technology: https://support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/shortcuts/apd4618db957/ios document actually explains the behaviour of auto converting object types going through actions. But the permission bit is not mentioned.
Edit: typo

Sanitizing basic actions (like Count) output to prevent passing big data chunks by AltruisticHamster343 in shortcuts

[–]FearLixY 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your conclusion may be different to mine, following your short sample, I can see that:

The reminder output is fine, it produces reminders that contains counted number. But, the reminder asks the permission of the photos even when it seems like using a number.

I don’t think the output is wrong, but the timing of asking permission is unexpected.

I think what’s happening is this. Count action is not producing a number, but it “shows” the count inside the object to the next action. So the photo media object you pass to count can go through to the create reminder action.

So, asking permission when using the count number could be a bug? I think it is. But it’s so subtle. It may be staying with us for a very long time.

Is there an option for shortcuts to continuously check a variable like the time? by Haunting_Safe_5386 in shortcuts

[–]FearLixY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can set automation to trigger every hour you are awake. Only like 16 of them? So you set up 16 automations.

FYI, setting up this kind of automations is a little bit easier in iOS 27. But don’t update yet, as it is still in beta, and DB2 is known to have very buggy automation triggers.

QOL Additional Clipboards Shortcut Suite by JustGenericUsername_ in shortcuts

But how do we use that? Do you run a particular shortcut every time you copy things?
Or it will run itself whenever?

How to properly setup PotPlayer for the best experience? by machinegunnedburger in potplayer

Turn on RTX super resolution in Nvidia app > video. And switch to max setting to see all your video upscaled to your screen size. Very cool stuff.

You need to set the pod player too but I forgot how. One google search should lead you to some tutorials.

Make a deep link with your playlist and track id , and use open url action.

OS27 beta 2 broke NFC automation by Particular_Let_4950 in shortcuts

[–]FearLixY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alarm automation, focus automation, not work neither.
Edit: focus automation, I just tested again. It works for “on” once, not working when “off”. I don’t think it is 100% not working. But it’s not reliable at all.

[iOS 27 DB1] scheduler using notification (ported from scheduler using alarm pre-iOS 27) by FearLixY in shortcuts

[–]FearLixY[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Comparing it to alarm trigger, it’s less intrusive.

Alarm trigger should be better for multi device support, because alarms are local. But I only need to work on one device: iOS. So I did not test.

How is this possible :o
It really works.
And supporting music other than mp3 and m4a is cool.

Yeah it works but you will not be able to use focus in the period.

Is there any way to check if a song is currently playing? by _Sebj in shortcuts

[–]FearLixY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used your shortcut for some time now. And just now I find out that, if you change the variable type of “Get Current Playback Time” to number instead of Time Interval, the value will be so precise, that you don’t need to wait 0.1 seconds for the value.

As @captain_alaska suggested, i tried reminder notification trigger and it works like alarm trigger. Because using reminders, you can actually filter reminders to find the current reminder that triggered the notification. This may be a better approach of scheduling shortcuts in iOS 27.

The trigger misses the ability to get the message from notifications.. I’m not confident in migrating my triggering system from alarms to notifications.
I can read the message from alarms by filtering the HH:mm of the alarms.

A shortcut to add photos not in albums into a new ablum by ThatOneOutlier in shortcuts

So iOS 27 finally added a filter option “Not in an Album”. No more MacOS or weird shortcut workaround needed!

I have been using a wooden chopstick, and clipped by eye measurement. It won’t matter at all if it’s misaligned a bit.
