Get Automated

Automator has been there since Tiger. I had a lot of Automator plugins on Tiger last time. The main goal of Automator is it can simplify repetitive work thus save you a lot of time.


I take digital photo experience as an example. When we take pictures using the digital camera, it normally save the file using a combination of letters and sequential number, right?


Let say we want to rename all image files so they will be more meaningful. Automator lets you rename all of them once without you rename each file one by one.


You can save every workflow you created as a plugin. Plugin can help you run workflow directly from your Finder so that you don't have to create the same workflow each time you come to a same task.
