There’s no point trying to script in Swift if you can’t deploy it to a user’s Mac. Here are two solutions available now.
Automator
Running shell scripts from Swift playgrounds is easy, but there’s more work needed to support droplets and folder actions.
I’m heartbroken that AppleScript is going, and grieving at the departure of Sal Soghoian, but I’m looking forward to getting to grips with the scripting tools of the future.
Why is Automator so poor at a simple task like removing duplicate tracks from iTunes?
Save yourself the tedium, using Finder, NameChanger, Automator, Better Rename, or Perl.
Old, often neglected, and only available on Macs, AppleScript should have been overwhelmed by numerous other scripting languages – if it were not for its unique abilities.
