This article lists the symbols added to Automator.framework in Mac OS X v10.5.
Contents:
Classes
All of the classes with new symbols are listed alphabetically, with their new class, instance, and delegate methods described.

workflowView | Returns the receiver's workflow view. |
Delegate Methods
workflowController:didError: | Invoked when the receiver's workflow encounters an error. |

C Symbols
All of the header files with new symbols are listed alphabetically, with their new symbols described.
AMBundleAction.h
Data Types & Constants
All of the new data types and constants in this header file are listed alphabetically, with links to documentation and abstracts, if available.
IBOutlet | Identifier used to qualify an instance-variable declaration so that Interface Builder can synchronize the display and connection of outlets with Xcode. |
AMWorkflowController.h
Data Types & Constants
All of the new data types and constants in this header file are listed alphabetically, with links to documentation and abstracts, if available.
workflowView |
AutomatorErrors.h
Data Types & Constants
All of the new data types and constants in this header file are listed alphabetically, with links to documentation and abstracts, if available.
AMActionApplicationResourceError | An application required by the action is not found. |
AMActionApplicationVersionResourceError | An application required by the action is the wrong version. |
AMActionArchitectureMismatchError | The action's binary is not compatible with the current processor; actions compiled for PowerPC, for example, would encounter this error on Intel systems. |
AMActionErrorKey | Use this key to obtain, from the userInfo dictionary of an instance of NSError, a reference to the action (class AMAction) that caused the error. |
AMActionExceptionError | An action encounters an exception while running. |
AMActionExecutionError | An action encounters an error while running. |
AMActionFileResourceError | A file required by the action is not found. |
AMActionInitializationError | Automator is unable to initialize an action (reason unknown). |
AMActionInsufficientDataError | The action requires input data to run, but none was supplied. |
AMActionIsDeprecatedError | The action has been deprecated. Use a replacement action, if available. |
AMActionLicenseResourceError | A license required by the action was not found. The only license currently supported is QuickTime Pro. |
AMActionLinkError | The action's executable failed to load due to linking issues. |
AMActionLoadError | The action's executable failed to load; for example, there may have been a problem with a library it depends on. |
AMActionNotLoadableError | The action's executable is of a type that is not loadable in the current process. If the action uses a custom subclass of AMBundleAction or AMAppleScriptAction, then the most likely problem is that the bundle's executable is missing or the NSPrincipleClass is not set in the Info.plist. Users are likely to be confused by a “missing bundle” error, so Automator presents it as the more generic “action not loadable” error. |
AMActionPropertyListInvalidError | The property list (Info.plist) for an action is invalid; it could be missing, damaged, or constructed improperly. |
AMActionRequiredActionResourceError | An action required by the action is not loaded. |
AMActionRuntimeMismatchError | An attempt was made to load an action that is not compiled in a way that is compatible with the current application; for example, the action may be compiled for 32-bit applications or it may not be compatible with garbage collection. |
AMAutomatorErrorDomain | This constant defines the Automator error domain. |
AMConversionFailedError | Occurs when, for example, the converter encounters an error converting data from one type to another. |
AMConversionNoDataError | The converter determines that a given conversion, though possible, would produce a nil result. Not displayed to the user. |
AMConversionNotPossibleError | The converter determines that it is unable to convert from one data type to another. Not displayed to the user. |
AMNoSuchActionError | The action could not be located on the system. |
AMUserCanceledError | The user cancelled. This error is the same as the AppleScript error userCanceledErr, defined in MacErrors.h. When an Apple Event is canceled by the user, a running action may return this error. Automator ignores the error and stops the workflow gracefully, without displaying the error to the user. |
AMWorkflowNewerActionVersionError | An action in a workflow is newer than the installed action; this error is presented to the user as a warning. |
AMWorkflowNewerVersionError | Attempt to open a workflow document that was saved with a newer version of Automator. |
AMWorkflowOlderActionVersionError | An action in a workflow is older than the installed action; this error is presented to the user as a warning. |
AMWorkflowPropertyListInvalidError | Attempt to open a workflow document whose property list (document.wflow) could not be read; the property list document could be missing, damaged, or constructed improperly. |
