That said, the tar shell script in this workflow would be handy as a separate action, but being available in this form it’s just as useful.

I haven’t used Automator much, but this seems to go against the grain.

Maybe you could publish the action and the sample workflow, that would be useful. For beginneers the workflow and for others who want to build it into a workflow the action.

Thanks for putting this Tar and Gzip together.
