Hi, guys. In my experience with this and I've had a bit since Snow Leopard and none before, ironically, the busy thing can usually be fixed by switching out of automator and back in. In other words, hit cmd-tab twice. I have absolutely no idea *why* this works, but it usually does for me, any

Thanks guys, I'll have to try it on the macbook (2GB RAM). It works great on the Macbook Pro (4GB), though, well, I reckon it would, assuming I can figure out how to use it. Thanks for the usage tips; the only one I found talked about dragging the action into the work flow, and I couldn't get t
