Decided to sort out my photos this morning, getting rid of all the multiple thumbnails and what not ... Automator is perfect for this ... been playing around a bit now, and all the old thumbnails are now safely sitting on the 500Gb in their own little "To be deleted" folder :D
 
Yep - it does :) I've got finder actions for most of my common tasks.
 
Just taking quite some time to rename 6400 thumbnails :D
I used copy and reduce by 50% the other day for a few thousand and it took a little while too. :)
 
bwana, quick question: How would you determine whether a folder is empty?
 
dumbass question: whats automater?
Automator is an application developed by Apple for Mac OS X that implements point-and-click (or drag-and-drop) creation of workflows for automating repetitive tasks. Automator enables the repetition of tasks across a wide variety of programs, including the Finder, the Safari web browser, iCal, Address Book and others. It can also work with third-party applications such as Microsoft Office or Adobe Photoshop.
