Hi,

I would like to pass the original path of a file to an AppleScript via PowerSwtich, so that i can act on the original file



Kind Regards

Hello, you can't pass arguments, like the filename of the original(s), to an Automator. Switch simply passes the input files to Automator as a Finder selection.



You could create a wrapper AppleScript (or Javascript) that calls your Automator script.
