Section 46. Automator


46. Automator

Resizing and renaming photos. Copying unread mail to my iPod. Boring, repetitive tasks like these used to drive me crazy. Since switching to a Mac, I turn them over to Automator.

Using a point-and-click interface, I define a series of actions (selecting files, resizing them in Photoshop, and renaming them, for example) and save it as a workflow. Workflows can be launched immediately, saved for future use, or loaded into the Control-click (or right-click) contextual menu for quick access anytimeall on-the-fly, without a scrap of programming language.
