![]() ![]() ![]() but sometimes, you don’t have the means or ability to head out and purchase one of those. The easy way out of this conundrum is to purchase a few external hard drives to keep with your device (perhaps an Apple-made 2TB Time Capsule). Where older devices might have had 500GB or even a terabyte worth of storage, your new MacBook Pro may only have 256GB in its place. ![]() Instead of raising prices, manufacturers like Apple have simple cut storage capacity. Generally, you can expect to pay twice as much for the same amount of storage, though the cost of SSD has been dropping every year. SSDs are clearly the future of computing storage, and it’s not surprising Apple has discontinued traditional or hybrid drives for their computers.īut there is a trade-off to the benefits of SSDs: GB for GB, they’re more expensive than HDDs. Meaning the zip archive contains preserved resource forks and HFS meta-data in the subdirectory _MACOSX and embeds only the parent directory name source in destination-archive, not the fully qualified pathname as when using zip (without -j) to create the archive.Flash-based SSDs provide better, faster performance and long lifespans than disk-based hard drives, as well as near-instant computer startups, minimal application launch times, and a slimmer profile. There you have it, a way to compress multiple folder separately and simultaneously at one time in individual zip archives while emulating how Finder creates a zip archive file. Or after selecting the target Folders, you can also click Finder > Services > Compress Folders Separately from the menu bar. In Finder or on the Desktop select multiple Folders, then right-click and select Compress Folders Separately from under Services. Save the Service as: Compress Folders Separately Set Service receives selected to folders and in to Finder.Īdd a Run Shell Script Action, setting Shell: to /bin/bash and Pass input: to as arguments and add the following code: for f in doĭitto -c -k -sequesterRsrc -keepParent "$f" "$bn.zip"ĭitto -c -k -sequesterRsrc -keepParent "$f" "$bn $n.zip" Open Automator and select Service 1 or File > New > Service If Automator is already open. There are also other minor nomenclature differences but they should be more obvious when comparing them to pre-macOS Mojave Automator workflows. This ensures an existing zip archive file is not touched and the zip archive filename will be automatically incremented as necessary.ġ In macOS Mojave, and later, an Automator Service is called a Quick Action. If the Folder Name.zip file already exists then a " 2" ( space 2) is appended to the filename, e.g. Here is an Automator Service 1 that becomes available in Finder when Folders are selected and emulates the context-menus Compress Items command except it creates an individual zip archive file for each selected Folder in the name of the selected Folder. ![]()
