I've been using context menu quick action for a while [0] and they hugely improve my productivity. A few of my most used ones:

- Search Image (search selected image through google lens)

- Compress Images (compress selected images with jpegoptim or pngquant)

- Open In Terminal / Vim (open selected directory in terminal / selected files in Vim)

- Merge Subtitles (merge .srt subtitles into video files)

Also discovered it's very useful to enable the preview panel in Finder (View -> Show Preview or cmd+shift+p) because it has 3 slots for quick action, much faster than going to context menu.

Also for showing output, you can use

  osascript -e "display notification \"Message Here!\" with title \"Title Here!\""

Thanks for sharing!
