Dear list, I'm new at using scripts. This is my first attempt. I retrieved the Move script and I thought followed the directions correctly but when I press the command for the short cut nothing happens. Is there a place where I can find a step by step guide to installing a script such as this one?
Also, My computer calls it a work flow is that different then a script? when I open the Move file script it opens in Automator. I don't know really ifthat is good or bad or means nothing. I have a feeling scripts could be very helpful but as a newbee I would love some direction. eric Caron , On Nov 9, 2010, at 2:51 PM, Esther wrote: > Hi David, > > Yes, I use the original Automator script that Greg Kearney wrote quite a long > time ago (when he was still in the U.S. and could host a web site listing the > accessibility of VoiceOver compatible software).
