I didn't actually want to get out of Automator, as AppleScript is something I'm not familiar with, but the simplicity of the code adayzone recommended conviced me to give it a shot.

Yeah, I think I should start using AppleScript for these types of things, though I have absolutely no experience on the subject. Unfortunately, this doesn't quite solve my problem - it lists all of the applications, yes, but only in the main Applications folder. It doesn't go into the subfolders, which is what I want it to do. The main problem is that when I tell automator to search the subfolders, it searches inside the App Containers as well... | |
