Automator applescript to compress with Keka

[avcodex]

Hello,

Does anyone use an Automator AppleScript to compress/decompress with Keka that allow us to create a quick action to compress/decompress folders or files ?

Thanks

@avcodex this build has AppleScript support, you can check this out:
https://github.com/aonez/Keka/releases/download/dev-test-builds/Keka-v1.5.0.r5580.7z

Available actions will be displayed in the dictionary. Until this is officially released is best to remove other versions from your computer.

let me know how it goes.

I tried it out, and it works really well.
The CLI options were a bit hard for me to figure out, so this is very helpful.

Thanks aonez,
I will test it soon.
Do you have any AppleScript code example that I can try to create a quick action ?

Thanks in advance.

Note: This works in Automator using Run button, but not from the Quick Actions menu. I'm not sure why.
