I'm trying to create a custom action in MacOS version 1.8.19 (102) but I am not seeing the option. In the action panel, the only new option is for action group. Any ideas?

Quick Actions and Action Groups ⌥ Thank you so much for the help, Florian. I don't think it answers my question. I'm trying to create a custom action, not reuse one of the existing quick actions. For more context, I was trying to create a custom action that would allow me to set track numbers…

And where in this long list of instructions did you get stuck? To me it looks like AI-generated. And at least this part [image] iAutobot: $num(%_createtime%,1)* This function will assign track numbers based on the creation date of the files. The "%_createtime%" variable represents the file's…
