In a previous post we looked at Automator and how it can help us to automate tasks (such as a copy-and-paste installation).
A very short while ago, we also looked at how to create a todo system, based on color labels in Finder.
Today we will use these concepts and expand them using Butler, so we will create a file dispatcher for Finder, looking something like this:
You probably have come across color labels already in Finder. You can use them to assign a background color to a file, so it stands out from the others. This can help you to identify important files at a glance.
Today we will take this concept one step further and create a file and folder based To Do structure using color labels together with Smart Folders.
Ultimately you will get a list of files and folders you still need to work on, grouped by due date in nice, fresh colors.
Some time ago, we had a post on Address Book, a handy application, that comes with Mac OS X.
While it’s nice to have your contacts stored in one place and be able to sync them to your mobile (look at this post for more information) there is more to Address Book. Let’s see which applications make use of Address Book and where you’ll meet your contacts again.
Previously we looked at, how to enter data into iCal and Address Book. Entering all your contacts sounds like a boring thing. Yes, it is boring!
The good thing is: you don’t have to do it!
