Decrease the size of Automator applications
Authored by: nickv2002 on Thu, Apr 17 2008 at 11:50PM PDT
One downside seems to be that Automator does not want to open the resulting document.wflow file, so you can't really do further editing or inspection of the workflow.

You can, however, open up the file in a text editor or (if you've installed the Developer Tools) Property List Editor as it seems to basically be plist formated XML file. I wouldn't make any edits to this document for fear of messing something up but it does serve as a way to tell what the script will do if you're willing to piece together the parts.
