New: OS X Automator Action plugin for invoking Services

When I started adding Services to my apps (Find Any File, iClip), I realized that this was not enough for users who want to write workflows with Automator or Applescript because there seems to be no way to invoke Services from Automator nor AppleScript.

So I wrote an Automator Action that allows you to run any Service that operates on Text or Files & Folders:

Find instructions and the downloads on github (including Xcode source).

iClip 5.1.2 with Search and "Smart Sets" now in beta

For the past few years I've taken over the development of iClip 5, a Clipboard / Pasteboard tool for OS X after the original author abandoned it to instead get insanely rich with selling iOS apps and organizing Bundle deals.

iClip is now again in beta testing. The new version adds a search feature that also lets you create smart search sets in order to see ony specific clippings, e.g. only those from a particular applications.

If you like to help testing iClip, even if you've never used it before, please sign up with MacDeveloper, then subscribe to iClip there. The MacDeveloper site helps us (i.e. me and the folks at Irradiated Software) manage bug reports and feature requests, and in return you as a tester can collect points in order to get the software for free if you don't own it yet.
