Desktop Shortcuts are currently only available on Windows.

Many of you use Filestar for the same file conversions over and over. Maybe you convert daily Excel reports into pdf. Or work with images where you often need to change them from one file format into another. With the new feature Filestar Shortcuts, you can create your automated skill accessible right on your desktop.

When you have finished one of those skills in Filestar that you know you want to use again, press the Desktop Short button. Choose the name and place for the shortcut, and you are done. Whenever you want to do that conversion again, just drag and drop your files onto the shortcut icon on the desktop - and the skill will be started and done automatically. Check out the animation below to see how smooth it is.
