"In case you haven’t heard, Automator rules."
I was wondering about all this hype about Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) and I thought: but wait a minute. Do I really use my Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger)at full speed? Well actually I almost never used Automator. So I payed a visit to MacApper's Tutorial on Automator and gave it a real try. Man, I couldn't be more impressed. Automator can make wonders for you.For those who don't know, Automator is basically a very easy way to create a workflow (some of you may recall the "rules" from MS Outlook) to have your Mac doing a variety of repetitive tasks for you. It's quick and requires no programming knowledge.
If you feel intrigued, after reading the basic introduction from MacApper, why not checking this - more comprehensive - post from MacDevCenter on What Is Automator (and Can It Make Your Life Easier)?
Or, if you wanna become a real pro, have a look at MacWorld's post.
Done? Cool. Now it may be worth to note that you can download LOTS of pre-made workflows for free from the Apple site.
What more could you ask from an application? After all maybe we don't need all this future...
