Notes: The actions have been tested in my workflow but are provided on an as-is basis for everyone. However, I’ll do my best to fix reported bugs so please do report any problems you have. Please do take backups of your catalogs and files before playing with these Automator actions, especially if it’s your first time using Automator. You can construct fairly powerful workflows using Automator but that also wreak havoc if you get things slightly wrong when experimenting!

Update:
The following bugs have been fixed in the 1.1b release:

• New iView MediaPro Catalog
