Mac Automator
By alex | March 29, 2007
I discovered a new function in the mac ‘automater‘ - the graphical GUI tool that allows you to drag-n-drop parts to make a batch program.
You can actually save a created automator script as a plugin - the most useful in this case would be an iCal plugin. This allows you for example to create a script that can be launched at certain times (but your computer needs to be awake for it work, though).
Very cool - I used to do this via Cronnix, but this is better.
There’s actually heaps and heaps of automator actions that are becoming available all the time. It’s great ! You can create an automator script that will
- import your photos from your camera
- rename and resize them (if you have the correct programs installed)
- and will upload them to your website
- and create a backup .dmg file, ready to be archived on cd or dvd
I loooooooove my mac !
