I’ve been a huge fan of this action for some time. I was looking for the same solution as many, wanting a Mac equivalent to [Win] + L to lock the desktop.

While I’ve been using this in conjunction with Quicksilver since Tiger, I’ve noticed that under Snow Leopard it is MUCH slower. I’d read somewhere that Automator scripts that slow down under Snow Leopard should speed back up if rebuilt under Snow Leopard’s Automator.
Could you provide the applescript text or the steps to generate the Automator workflow?

Many Thanks,
Waldo

Chris – thanks for this application, works great on MBP13 and Snow Leopard! Any chance to implement hot key activation in the near future?

I must be stupid, but I’m trying to download it and it jumps to a new page that says “you must be logged in to download” but why or how does one login to download?
