I have some .workflow quick actions that encrypt and decrypt files. I want the end users to be able to just right click on a folder, and under "quick actions", select either encrypt or decrypt. I'm able to install these into the services folder, and they show up in the system prefs as an option to enable, but I can't find a way to automatically enable them so they will show up in the quick actions menu without any additional user input. 

 

I know you can install the quick action by opening the .workflow file, but this prompts for install, and I'd rather not have a prompt for install come up for users, I want this to be automatic, in the background.

 

Is there a way to silent install a .workflow so it shows up in quick actions without any user input?

Bumping this thread. I have the same question for the same request. I can deploy the .workflow file, but I can't seem to find a correct way to enable the Quick Action in System Preferences -> Extensions -> Finder Quick Actions.
