Decrease the size of Automator applications
40GB is the smallest size HD Apple shipped in a Mac since 2006. Even if you still have a 40GB drive and you repeat this process for 1000 workflows, you would save less than 1% of your total drive space (they save 372K per workflow). If you have a more recent computer, your HD is more in the range of 120GB to 500GB. With a 120GB drive, if you repeated this process for 1000 workflows, you would be saving about 0.3% of your total drive space. So I guess I'm saying that unless you really, really, really need that extra 372K, I wouldn't worry about it too much.

The comment says up front that it's only for "crazy" people--i.e. obsessive types. And telling an obsessive not to worry about something isn't very productive. :)

What we need is something that would automate this extraction of the workflow from the app. Yeah, that'd save time. Yeah. Some sort of automator.

goodness, no - that would cost another precious 12kb!

In the test workflow I just created, it's overwhelmingly localized resources that support things like the menu-bar progress indicator.

And if you have an older iBook, your HD may be as small as 15 or 10 GB and non-trivial to upgrade. Meanwhile, the test workflow I created has over 800k of localized resources. Get rid of the unused resources from 4-5 of those and I have enough space for an extra song in iTunes. |
