Hi Dee Dee,

You can access your Library folder from the Finder level, if you hold down the Option key when you choose the Go menu, you will see the Library folder available.
Then, you can select it and place it in a Finder window sidebar. It will then be accessible in any open/save dialog.
Why Apple made that folder invisible we'll never know. It is the stupidest thing.

So, basically, yes there is a secret trick to it.

I have had Automator for quite some time but never tried to use it 'til now. As a final shot in the dark I am attempting this avenue. When I try to open a "NEW" file nothing happens. When I try to open a sample template nothing happens. I have gone to the website but cannot locate any "Contact Us" link (strange). Within the application I cannot locate a "Contact Us" or an update link. I suspect I might have an obsolete version but how am I to know (I have version 2.1.1)? Or possibly this application will not run in OS X 10.7 (lion). Or should I trash it?

The address of this email infers that it will be received by more that one person. We'll see. Please don't think I'm a moron. I have owned Apple computers continuously since 1978. My first Mac was a Quadra 650.

It's distributed with the OS, 2.1.1 was for Snow Leopard, Lion currently has 2.2.4. So how did you manage to drag an old version around like that?

What do you mean when you try to open a new file??? When you start Automator, it presents a dialog asking you to choose a template. What do you mean when you try to open a "sample" template nothing happens? When you select a template after launching, you then start setting up your script.

You're going to need to be a *lot* more specific about what is happening, and about what you're trying to do.

I hope someone can help me.
I am working with Mountain Lion, 10.8.3

So when I create an alarm workflow with automator, when I save it, Calendar opens and Automator very kindly helps me set the alarm.

However, if at some point in the future, I wish to use that alarm again, HOW CAN I GET TO IT????

This is one thing that catches me up every time.  Since the workflows are hidden away in /user/Library/Workflows/.……

When I use the browse…. option within an application (such as Calendar, within Automator to open an existing workflow, etc.), I cannot get to the items in /user/Library/.….

Is there a secret trick to this?
Thank you for any advice.

Dee Dee
