exFAT support on macOS seems to have some bugs because my external drives with exFAT formatting will randomly get corrupted.

Disk Utility is unable to repair this at first, but the fix is this:

Use diskutil list to find the right drive id.
You want the id under the IDENTIFIER column, it should look like disk1s1
Run sudo fsck_exfat -d <id from above>. eg sudo fsck_exfat -d disk1s3
-d is debug so you'll see all your files output as they're processed.
Answer YES if it gives you the prompt Main boot region needs to be updated. Yes/No?

Prerequisites

First, install JAVA. Note that Android SDK is not yet supported JAVA 10, so install JAVA 8:

How to make an application icon for macOS using iconset & iconutil

Open Automator
Create a new document
Select Quick Action
Set “Service receives selected” to files or folders in any application
Add a Run Shell Script action
- your default shell should already be selected, otherwise use /bin/zsh for macOS 10.15 (”Catalina”) or later
- older versions of macOS use /bin/bash
if you're using something else, you probably know what to do 😉
