OS X 10.4.7 Updates Automator

Apple has released [OS X 10.4.7 Update](http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303771), which has a stack of bug fixes and improvements. On the Automator front, it has these changes:

* Automator supports more file types, including JPEG, TIFF, and HTML, in the Filter Finder Items action.
* Automator supports more websites that require cookies and sessions, specifically those where the authentication is passed along with the URLs, in the Get Image URLs for Webpage, and Get Link URLs from Webpages actions.
* Improves responsiveness when dragging Automator actions in the workflow. *Note: I have tested this one, and can vouch that performance is **significantly improved**. It's about time!*
