Junecloud Automator Actions Help

Installation

To install the actions, just double-click them. Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) or later is required, and they’re fully compatible with OS X Lion (10.7). These actions are particularly useful as Services—to install them as services, follow the instructions below.

Mac OS X 10.7: Double-click a service to open it. Click “Install” to use it as is, or choose “Open with Automator” to customize the workflow. Once the service is installed, you can right-click (or control-click) a file in the Finder, then choose the service at the bottom of the menu to use it.

Mac OS X 10.6: Double-click a service to open it in Automator. If you like, you can customize the settings or add other actions to the workflow. When you’re done, choose “Save As…” from the File menu. You can now right-click (or control-click) a file in the Finder, then choose the service at the bottom of the menu to use it.

Mac OS X 10.5: In 10.5, Finder Plug-Ins were used instead of Services. To create a Finder Plug-In, open Automator and create a new workflow. Add the actions you want to include. Choose “Save As Plug-In…” from the File menu. Enter a name, make sure Finder is selected in the pop-up menu, and click Save. You can now right-click (or control-click) a file in the Finder and choose More » Automator » Plug-In Name to run the action on that file. (You can also select multiple files to affect them all at once.)

Note: In some versions of Leopard, double-clicking may not install the actions. It’s easy to install them manually though: just open your home folder in the Finder, then open the Library folder there. If you see an Automator folder, open it. If not, create it yourself. Drag the actions you want to install into this folder.

Tiger Compatibility

Tiger is not officially supported, but you can use these actions in Tiger (Mac OS X 10.4) if you copy them into your home » Library » Automator folder. If you don’t see an Automator folder there, just create one.

You may find some quirks in Tiger. Currently the only known bug is that the “convert umlauts to ‘e’” option in Make Names Web-Friendly does not work in Tiger.

Learning Automator

If you’re new to Automator, you may want to focus on the basics before trying our actions. Open Automator and choose “Automator Help” from the Help menu to learn how to get started. You can also learn about Automator here.
