Automator Postscript Actions & Leopard

Back in February 2007 I developed some Automator actions to manipulate Postscript files. I used these actions in the past to convert my presentation slides into multi-page PDFs. By creating these as scripts it became easy to quickly convert a large number of presentations into "lecture notes" that I could upload for the students.

Today I went back to test is they worked... and they didn't! The problem was that Leopard is now unix2003 compatible, and my script wasn't. The issue was my use of the file -i {} command which worked in the legacy mode, but fails when using the updated version. The fix was simple, when I found it, use file --mime {}...

For those who are interested... download the automator actions...
