Try searching for Safari.opml in Spotlight.

I’m using 10.5.7 and it works for me. (Safari version 4.0.2). I will update to 10.5.8 and put out a new version if it doesn’t work.

Automator application is broken for me also. I wonder if it is a Safari 4.x issue, which I’m using as well as 10.5.8. Hope this is fixed soon!

After I run the Automater (which seems that it is working) nothing ends up on my Desktop. Is there another location it might be saved?
