What I'm going to demonstrate now is going to be an example of using the Send to feature with a file in Launch Bar. So I'm going to start off with a prior recording that I did. And I need to drop it in a folder for Michael so that he can kind of edit it up a little bit, maybe throw a little background music on it, you know, do his thing to the file before publishing it somewhere. So first I'm going to open the. Finder finder finder Audio.

So first I'm going to in Finder today at. All right, there is that file. So that is in focus. It's highlighted. So I'm going to press Command Space and hold it. Copy selection to launch bar athletes. All right, we have that. I'm going to hit the tab key. QuickTime player application.

Now, I don't want to open this in QuickTime Player, but that is an option. But what I want to do is send this to a particular location. So I'm going to start and navigate through my home directory by first pressing Tilde. So that's shift in the grov, the key to the left of the number one home indexing rule brings up my home indexing rule. And launch bar going to tap space HTP guard full. And now I'm going to type in the first couple of letters of the folder I want to go to, which is Sync.

Sync folder contains 20 items, two subscriptions in total space. Again there. And I'm going to go to DM folder. And what did I call this folder? Folder contained one item, two subscriptions in total. Unprocessed folder contains two items. There we go. There's the one I want unprocessed. And I'm just going to hit Return. Move to unprocessed action.

Now I get a little pop up menu that I can navigate here in Launch Bar because I do have this ask me each time I do this, do I want to move copy to unprocessed copy this file? All right, well, move to unprocessed, go back to move. That's the default. And I'm going to hit return selection to launch. Bar FLAC, audio and boof.

F. There it is. So I have highlighted the file in Finder and moved it all through the use of Launch Bar.
