Did you mean to disable?

I have a query about a letter from Sean in issue 281. Your response gives instructio­ns to build an Automator workflow, which tell the reader to right-click the action they’ve just added and disable it. I’m puzzled; won’t that make an app that does nothing? Alan This was a script to load a kernel extension that wakes Bluetooth devices, and you are quite right. What you actually need to do is right-click the ‘Run AppleScrip­t’ action’s title bar and choose ‘Ignore Input’, which disables the little nubbin that connects ‘Applicatio­n receives files and folders as input’ with the first action. Apologies to anyone who tried the original solution and found it didn’t work because the script was disabled.
