Hey Gus, is the ability to save Droplet versions of workflow files on the map at all? Even if they just opened Retrobatch to run with dropped items, it would be pretty awesome to be able to add them to Dropzone or Alfred/LaunchBar and process a batch.
Side ask, Automator actions? “Run Retrobatch Workflow” would be really useful as part of a larger Workflow.
One other thing- someone found a bug just yesterday, where some of the Retrobatch nodes weren’t being used when a workflow was run from Automator or AppleScript. So if that’ what you’re seeing, you should grab the latest build for that fix: Latest Builds from Flying Meat (though, it sounds like you’re unable to get the droplet to work at all, so it’s probably something else)
I’m completely unable to add the Execute Workflow action. I drag it into the workflow area, get the “plus” cursor and when I drop, it does nothing. Not sure where the problem lies…
Huh, looks like Automator can’t load the action for some reason. What OS are you running? And is Retrobatch in a normal Applications folder?
As an alternative- I just added droplet support to the latest 1.2 beta. You can grab it on the latest builds page, and use the File ▸ Save as Dropplet… menu item (the next build it’ll remove a ‘p’, I realize it’s currently misspelled).
