Spring Cleaning the Mac with Automator Actions
I’ve been using my laptop for the past week here in Chicago and I thought I’d give it a lil’ love with Jesse Hodgie’s Maintenance 3.8 Automator Script Action (Apple link here). It’s probably the placebo effect, but everything seems a little mo’ snappy (MORE SNAPPIES!). Streaming video seems a little smoother too. Are you asking what Automator even is?
Automator is an application developed by Apple for Mac OS X that implements point-and-click (or drag-and-drop) creation of workflows for automating repetitive tasks. Automator enables the repetition of tasks across a wide variety of programs, including the Finder, the Safari web browser, iCal, Address Book and others. It can also work with third-party applications such as Microsoft Office or Adobe Photoshop
If you have an Apple computer and are running either Tiger 10.4 or Leopard 10.5, ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-check it out! You Mac will thank me later.
Yay clean machine!
