Automator Agony
I keep trying to use Automator, but it continually thwarts my efforts to do anything with it. I can build a workflow that gives me little green check marks and then toots like a little train when it’s finished… but nothing actually happens. If I tell it to open Preview, it doesn’t. If I tell it to set the desktop picture, it won’t. If I tell it to split PDFs into individual pages, nope, not that either. I thought AppleScript was arcane — this is practically ritualistic! Next time I’ll try tapping my heels together three times before I push the run button. At least then I’ll know I’ve accomplished something.
