HUM, COULD IT BE THAT THIS HAS CHANGED SINCE SL? THE WORKFLOW OPENS UP IN FINDER JUST FINE. PRESSING COMMAND OPTION S DOESN'T DO ANYTHING THOUGH AND THERE ISN'T A MENU OPTION FOR SAVE AS FINDER PLUG IN. AFTER I OPEN MOVE.WORKFLOW AND PRESS COMMAND OPTION S THEN CLOSE AUTOMATER I PRESSED VO SHIFT M TO BRING UP THE CONTEXT MENU FOR AN ITEM I HAD SELECTED, BUT THERE WAS NO AUTOMATER OPTION AND PRESSING LETTER U TOOK ME TO VIEW BY. I CHECKED THE FILE MENU IN FINDER BUT IT'S NOT THERE EITHER. JUST TO BE THOROUGH I DID A CHECK OF ALL THE OTHER MENUS IN FINDER AND GOT NOTHIN. I must be missing something.
Thanks for the tip though. If I can get it working I'll be a very happy guy. Best, erik burggraaf A+ certified technician and user support consultant.
