Automator un utility poco sfruttata

November 3rd, 2005

Automator è un ottima utility di creazioni “macro”. Spesso però molti utenti mac non utilizzano questo programma , o meglio non sanno nemmeno da dove iniziare . Qui ci sono alcuni esempi dell’ utilizzo di Automator :
Convert and rename big image files

This workflow shrinks selected images (space-hogging TIFFs, for example) by 50 percent, saves them as space-conserving JPEGs, appends the word (small) to their file names, and opens the new images in Preview.

1. Finder: Ask For Finder Items Make sure Files is selected in the Type pop-up menu. Specify the location where you want to start selecting, and select the Allow Multiple Selection option, which presents an Open dialog box where you can select the images you want to convert and rename.

2. Finder: Copy Finder Items From the To pop-up menu, pick a folder (your Pictures folder will work just fine), to which the workflow will copy the original images before it modifies them.

3. Finder: Rename Finder Items From the top pop-up menu, choose Add Text. Type (small) in the text field, and select After Name so your workflow will add this suffix to the end of each image’s file name.

4. Preview: Scale Images Choose By Percentage from the pop-up menu and type 50 .

5. Preview: Change Type Of Images You can select any image format you want, but JPEG is a good option if you’re planning to post the images on a Web site or send them by e-mail.

6. Preview: Open Images In Preview This shows you the result of your workflow in Preview.
