Mac OS X Tiger
The Library list lets you instantly browse all of the actions and workflows you can use
in Automator.
Selecting an item in the Library list displays the actions it contains in the Action list.
Documentation for every action is built right into Automator; just click an action and
there it is.
The series of actions displayed in this view is the workflow, with the first action in
the workflow at the top and the last action at the bottom. To add an action to the
workflow, simply drag it from the Action list to the workflow.
When an action is added to the workflow, you can set its parameters with a few clicks.
The search field gives you instant results when you type a keyword, helping you find
what you need in a hurry.
You can execute your finished workflow with the click of a button.
The Automator Window
With more than 150 built-in actions in Tiger,
Automator is ready to put the power of
Mac OS X and its world-class applications
to work for you. But you aren’t limited to
the built-in actions. Developers can create
actions for their applications that easily
plug into Automator.
