So if I wanted to burn a CD, I would have to use a KDE program from within Gnome, and that's just ugly. At the time, and this may have changed by now, the only decent optical writing software was K3B. So I would try to use GTK+ based programs over QT based programs.

I did the same thing as the author several years ago. ![]() Who knows if Apple is going to keep Automator though. It works, though, so I guess that's a win. In fact, the pure simplicity of Automator actually made doing something relatively simple (figure out which HDD is in, do an action based on this result) relatively difficult. Then, because it's a headless computer, it speaks which drive it has found once successful.īut it wasn't easy to set up. ![]() One nice bonus is that after it's run, the Mac mini starts immediately synchronising all the changes that the HDD needs to catch up on. I do a rotating off-site backup using Time Machine, but because TM doesn't natively support two HDDs I have a folder action set up to watch the /Volumes folder, and to then determine which drive has been plugged in and change the Time Machine settings to use it. Whilst not a service, I use one of its folder actions for my little Mac mini web dev server that sits downstairs.
