@whitequark My understanding is that GitHub understands the immense value in maintaining the proprietary part of Actions, but has always wanted to shift the burden of maintenance of compostable actions onto the “ecosystem”.
However, they seeded/prototyped such actions in a way that “looks” like backtracking.

I wanna stop using `open -R` to reveal files in Finder from the commandline on macOS because it's fundamentally impossible to use correctly/safely. (There's no way to delineate file arguments from command options using e.g. `--`.)

Anyone know a good alternative that isn't "wrangle something into `osascript` and desperately hope it doesn't bork the file name encoding"?

Just found out that Inkscape has "Paste In Place" and I'm so excited not to have my cheese move around on paste! Every 2D+ editor canvas should have this. 🤩
