The solution, as I posted at the start, is to do it with a GUI. So a script could never have helped.
Solving this and sharing it, will also help everyone who uses a GUI. Not just me.
Also, you might also be forgetting that I would have a whole lot more to learn as a non IT user. So a script would be a massive investment. And I will have forgotten it all again if I ever need to do another one in the future. I think that is unlikely. So a lot of effort for a one-off. Also I’d need to have the script in the App launcher. Even if that is possible, it’s yet more to legacy crap to learn.
Learning something useful is never a waste of time
Sure. I will happily spend my time learning useful stuff. I don’t want to waste time using bad UX because something is broken in a strange domain. I want to discover and share a good solution.
If you are not in to usability that’s OK. But this is a usability issue. A different world from yours. Software is there to help people. Never change the user to help the software.
