10.4: 10.4.3 update may break Automator workflows
Authored by: adrianm on Nov 01, '05 12:37:57PM
Back on Mac (hurrah!)

I put this applescript action inbetween "Get Selected Finder Items" and your shell script action:


on run {input, parameters}
	set output to {}
	repeat with i in input
		set p to get POSIX path of (i as alias)
		set q to quoted form of p
		set end of output to (q as string)
	end repeat
	return output
end run
A bit verbose, but you get the idea.

10.4: 10.4.3 update may break Automator workflows
Authored by: robg on Nov 01, '05 02:18:47PM

I'm sure that works, but the bigger issue is why the handling of that Finder action changed from 10.4.2 to 10.4.3. All of the Finder actions that 'get' things should return the same style of string, but that's not currently happening.

I've been in touch with the Automator team, and they're looking into it; I'll post more later if I hear anything...
