Set Desktop Background With Automator

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Well, there isn’t this click that let you set your desktop background (Wallpaper for Windows users) in Mac, you’ll need to go to the System Preferences and click on Desktop then click on the folder and look for your picture, what a hassle to do all this just to get to change your background isn’t it? Look at what I have…
Automator plug in Set as desktop
By the way, I don’t need to open the picture too, all I need to do is just right-click (CTRL+Click) at the icon and I get to change it in no time. That’s the wonder of Automator! Today, I’m going to tell you how to do it in just a few steps ;) It’s very simple actually, open Automator and look into both of these:
Automator
Simple eh? Once you’re there, drag and drop the “Set the Desktop Picture” into another column:
Done with Automator set desktop picture
You’re done, all you need is to save this file into a plug-in in order to let the Automator on your right-click (CTRL+Click) to work…
Automator save as plug in
You can name the plug in to whatever you like, as long as you remember :P

Beside this, I find that bulk rename and bulk resize or simply resize one file can be useful for some people as well. Previously I use this little software name ExifRenamer to bulk rename all my pictures/videos files, as I thought there wasn’t any other thing that can bulk rename, until I found the power of Automator ;) The rest will be on next entry :P

Bootcamp Download

Was looking around for Bootcamp, since Mac:Messenger can’t use video and audio conversation. But Bootcamp public beta has been discontinued due to the release of Mac OSX 10.5 Leopard. Sigh… It is really hard to look for one Bootcamp 1.4 Beta. Anyway, I found a website still providing Bootcamp 1.3 Beta…

10.4.11 Update Sleep

Nov

Ok, just when I was about to be very confident with Mac OSX update, it bring me down to hell the next time I restarted my Macbook.
Sleeping Macbook
After the update, nothing significant changes I can see or feel beside the heat at first. But now, problems coming in. I have this sleeping and wake up problem with my Macbook. It doesn’t wake when I want it to, when it sleep more than 5 minutes, it sleep forever then :? It just won’t wake up no matter how I make it, pressing keyboard, moving mouse, pressing the power button, it just show me blank screen with the little sleep indicator light on and flash slowly :? No idea what happen, I have to press the power button for seconds and make it turn completely off and turn it back on.

I asked in Apple forum, so now I’ll have to wait and see…
