10.5: Run Automator workflows from AppleScript
What is the advantage of launching an Automator workflow from the command line (which looks awkward) versus an AppleScript applet? It seems to me that double-clicking the AppleScript applet would be much easier, and a well-written AppleScript would be more flexible (about variables and file locations, since they could be specified each time the applet is run).
10.5: Run Automator workflows from AppleScript
the main advantage is that this method allows you to pass applescript variables <em>into</em> an automator workflow. I originally started thinking about this in the context of Mail rule actions. Mail won't (currently) accept automator workflows as part of rule actions, but it will produce lists of emails for applescript. there's no way that I can find to pass those Mail-produced lists to automator workflows for processing. |
