too much. All I want is an action to do a simple list and a button to exit after the list is reviewed. I can't find anything like this in the standard Automator distribution but I know there are a lot of third-party actions out there. Can anyone point me to one that just does the list without the check boxes and selection criteria?
I figured out a way to get pretty close from looking at AppleScript sites. Assuming you have an action printing out lines of information that you want to see in a list, you can put the following code in a Run AppleScript action:
on run {input, parameters}
set myList to input choose from list myList with title "" with prompt "" default items "myList" OK button name "Exit" cancel button name "" with empty selection allowed
return input end run
This has only one fault. It puts an empty button on the display next to the exit button. It would be nice to be able to get rid of that, but this works satisfactorily. |
