Write your own Automator-Action in Xcode

This is hot. I wanted to use Automator repeatedly for certain tasks but couldn’t because it lacked the one or other functionality. Now I could (note the subjunctive) write my own Automator actions and encapsulate all these usefull open source libraries (like image magick, pil or snd) into them, thanks to macnn.com who posted a lenghty introduction into writing Automator Actions whith XCode.
Sure you still need a good deal of Objective-C knowledge, but hey, we’ve already touched that topic before.
