408 CHAPTER 23 MAC OS X AUTOMATION WITH AUTOMATOR AND APPLESCRIPT Figure 23-8. Downloading URLs in Automator You could just download the images and open them in Preview, but that’s boring. With a little more work, you can build a dynamic screen saver to present your downloaded images. Setting Up the Keyword Screen Saver You could try to do all this in Automator, but since it has to be done only once, you can just set up the screen saver manually and use the Automator workflow to generate the dynamic content. In the Finder, create a new folder in your Pictures folder called Keyword Screensaver, as shown in Figure 23-9. Figure 23-9. Creating the Keyword Screensaver folder in the Finder
CHAPTER 23 MAC OS X AUTOMATION WITH AUTOMATOR AND APPLESCRIPT 409 Rather than write a screen saver, you can just use the photo screen saver already built into Mac OS X. Select System Preferences... from the Apple menu, select the Desktop & Screen Saver preference pane, and then select the Screen Saver tab, as shown in Figure 23-10. Figure 23-10. Setting up the Keyword screen saver in System Preferences From the Screen Savers list on the left, select Choose Folder.... This will present you with a standard open sheet. Select the Keyword Screensaver folder, and click the Choose button. Finally, set up the photo screen saver as you want it. We recommend the new “falling pictures” display style, which is the second of the three styles. With that set up, return to Automator. Drag the Get Specified Finder Items action from the Files & Folders group. You should do this before you actually download the images, so drag it to the top of the list. Click the Add... button, and find the Keyword Screensaver folder. This new action connects to the Ask for Text action. This is not what you want. Rather, you want to store the value until you’re ready to download the items. This is a perfect chance to use Automator’s new variables. Variables Like actions, variables are grouped by category. Since they typically have nothing to do with applications, there is no by-application grouping option. Date & Time: The current year, month, day, day of the week, and of course the date and time Locations: Known folders, such as Applications, Documents, Downloads, and the current user’s home directory System: System information such as the computer’s name, IP address, and operating system version Text & Data: Generic variables for storing text and data
