An Automator workflow to download wallpapers

Heh @ Lancermit. :o)

That was basically the only comment I had as well.

Similarly, I could never abide the clumsily backformed word "Uninstall." It came from the Windows world, and didn't really apply to Macs, where we generally were able to drag an app to the trash to get rid of it. For the youngsters, we used to call this process "Removing" an application. ;o)

Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending upon your perspective) apps now often spew files all over the OS X file system, so the word and concept of "Uninstall" is now rather relevant.

My Wish: That EVERY app that spewed files all over the place would come with a script that would keep track of where everything went, and which could be called up to remove every bit of that app to the trash if the user so desires.

Apologies for side-tracking!
