I downloaded and installed an application into my /Applications directory. (The program is called 'ecto') I know this application supports Automator actions, and after doing a lot of research, it looks like the automator actions are containted within the bundle that I installed into my Apps directory. I perused through the file structure and verified that they are, in fact, there.
However, this application does not appear within Automator on the Applications list, nor are the actions available to me. Is there some step that I'm missing in getting a new application added? I know that when I installed OmniOutliner, the application showed up and the actions loaded automatically.
Try this: Select the Automator app in your applications folder. Do File, Get info, select Open using Rosetta. Now restart automator.
For me this added the application I was interested to its list of supported apps, and their actions (StuffIt Deluxe), so this might help you.
Don't have any idea how it works.
