Re: [Fwd: Fwd: Automator from MacOS X]

Dear all,

  After watching this video, I must say that I'm impressed by the 
capabilities of Automator. And it seems to have a huge number of 
possible actions available.

I would like to list here what existing piece of software I think we can 
already use to make some of the Automator's features in addition to 
aTomato :

* Mathusalem (one of the last google summer of code project) : This 
project can be useful to keep track of the scripts executed in background

http://tw.apinc.org/weblog/tag/mathusalem

* Nautilus-actions (I'm the maintainer) : To make the "Set as plugin in 
nautilus" feature. I will try to export a DBus function to import an 
action to it. An action for nautilus-actions could also be created and 
delivered with aTomato to add the "Create new workflow" option in 
Nautilus contextual menu.

* S-Flux: As said in a previous mail could be useful for its 
implementation of an action description file format in XML.

* Maybe gnome-db for the connection to databases ??

* All the main Gnome Desktop software (and others) for the exportation 
of their capabilities as actions available in aTomato (like does Finder, 
iPhoto, etc with Automator). IMHO, DBus will probably be a good choice 
for this. But it's up to each project maintainer to choose what they 
prefer or fit best...

* Do you think of any other useful project that can be used too ?

Best Regards,

Fred
