The Automator Multi-Item Processing Utility is a software that allows for the conversion of an Automator workflow into an AppleScript-based application. This simplifies and streamlines the automation process.
As someone who frequently uses Automator workflows to process files and folders, I've encountered a common issue with the way the program operates. By default, files and folders are processed as a batch through the entire workflow. While this may be fine for simple tasks, it becomes problematic when the workflow needs to open the input files in an application for further processing.
This is especially troublesome when dealing with large batches of files. Since the entire batch is opened at once, the workflow can become overwhelmed and slow down to a crawl.
Thankfully, the Automator Multi-Item Processing Utility offers a solution to this problem. By converting the workflow into an AppleScript-based application, it loops through dropped files or folders individually, allowing for more efficient and practical processing.
This utility is a game-changer for anyone working with potentially hundreds or thousands of files, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to streamline their workflow.
