Notes: This is a very simple workflow that is basically a file launcher. What makes it interesting is the possibilities for integrating it into the system, by means of a contextual menu plugin, Applescript menu item or self-running application. The accompanying readme has extensive notes on use, and is also a good primer for applying keyboard shortcuts to workflows.
