Overview

This sample displays a single window containing a list of workflows and a read only AMWorkflowView. The workflows listed are the ones found in the Application's resources in the folder:

/AutoSample.app/Contents/Resources/workflows/

When the application starts up it scans the workflows folder and loads each Automator workflow found there as an instance of AMWorkflow. It then stores these AMWorkflow instances in an array along with the file names. That array is used as the backing store for the NSTableView in the window.

When a click is received on the name of a workflow in the NSTableView, the workflow is displayed in the AMWorkflowView on the right hand side of the window.

When a double-click is received on the name of a workflow in the NSTableView (or, when the "run" button is pressed), the selected workflow is displayed in the AMWorkflowView on the right hand side of the window and it is run.

An automator action that returns the current status for an iChat buddy.
