What are the storage locations of the various types of Automator workflows
Tested this on 10.7.1, Automator 2.2.
- Workflow - for me this defaults to
~/Documents
, but these can be saved anywhere you like. - Application - same as above. When saving a workflow/application for the first time, it even lets you change the type in the save dialog.
- Services -
~/Library/Services
- Folder Action - The actual workflow is saved in
~/Library/Workflows/Applications/Folder Actions
. When creating the folder action, it asks for a folder to 'attach' to in the dropdown at the top. The actions will apply to the folder you choose here. - Print Plugin -
~/Library/PDF Services
- iCal Alarm -
~/Library/Workflows/Applications/iCal
- Image Capture Plugin -
~/Library/Workflows/Applications/Image Capture
Easy way to find this out in case you forget - after creating/saving one of the types that doesn't prompt you right away for a save location, right click the proxy icon in the title bar to see the path:
