Cut Automator script for Mac with Automator

One thing that caused a lot of problems for me in Mac is there is no "cut" short key like "ctrl+x" in Windows. I had to dragged items, sometimes it's hard to do like that. So far, I tried to develop "Cut Script" with Automator. It can be used by using right clicking to the item, then select the path to move.

You can create it as following steps:
1. Open Automator from your Application.
2. Service receives selected change to "files or folders" and in to "Finder".
3. Drag "Get Selected Finder Items" to the Automator space.
4. Drag "Set Value of Variable", and change its name to "item".
5. Drag "Apple Script".
Step 3-5
6. Drag "Ask for Finder Items", and change type(Type:) to "Folders".
7. Drag "Set Value of Variable", and change its name to "path".
8. Drag "Apple Script".

Step 6-8
9. Drag "Get Value of Variable", and change its name to "item".
10. Drag "Move Finder Items", and change to(To:) to "path".

Step 9-10
Download

In addition, you can also download it, and then place it into your profile service folder (~/Users/[User]/Library/Services/).
Now, you can move your file faster with easy steps. Don't have to drag anymore!
