Save the URL in Finder as a bookmark via Automator Since the possibility to tag files in Mavericks, I save my bookmarks in Finder to be able to tag them and find them later more quickly.

To do this I simply drag the URL in Safari to a my bookmarks folder in Finder.
After doing this for many times, I found it inconvenient to do this manually. It would be nice if this steps can be automated, and I think Automator would help me in this.

The workflow would look like this.


Copy the URL of the webpage in the active Safari window.
Save the URL in a clickable URL file in a folder in Finder.
Prompt me the Info screen to edit metatags, like Filename, Tags, and Comments.


Unfortunately, after some trying in Automator, I'm still not able to create this workflow.
I hope through this post somebody can help in the right direction.
You could install tag with for example brew install tag and then use a script like this:

set tags to text returned of (display dialog "" default answer "")
tell application "Safari" to tell document 1 to set {u, t} to {URL, name}
tell application "Finder"
    make new internet location file at POSIX file "/Users/username/Bookmarks" to u with properties {name:t}
    set p to POSIX path of (result as alias)
end tell
do shell script "/usr/local/bin/tag -s " &amp; quoted form of tags &amp; " " &amp; quoted form of p


For Chrome, use tell application "Google Chrome" to tell tab 1 of window 1 to set {u, t} to {URL, title}. Separate the tags with commas in the dialog.
