Those have been bundled as applications so I don’t think this issue applies to 
them.

I’ve installed the Automator plug-in and created a dummy workflow, and I can 
reproduce the problem.

The “Execute Workflow” action is set up to work for files ending in 
`.workflow`. Automator saves workflows as bundles (which are actually folders). 
I’m guessing Apple changed the format at some point.

We just need to update the plug-in to look for “folderTypes” instead of 
“directFileTypes”, which is a pretty simple fix, but it will prevent the action 
from working with older workflow files. (The ones that are literally files.) 
Any heavy Automator users know if that will cause a problem? Or is everyone 
using the new format at this point?
