I’ve added two new worfklow activities, Convert Folder and Convert Library, to the SP2010 Word Automation project on CodePlex.
Because you can’t associate workflows created with SharePoint designer to libraries or folders, these actions won’t use the current item from the context, so you need to specify the input and output library or folder by url. To use the activities you can run the workflow on a other item or document. The activities locate the libraries or folders relative to the current web, so you don’t have to specify a full url:
You can download the latest release and source code from the CodePlex project site

thanks for the solution.. but
when i deploy from visual studio and try to add workflow action in the designer (there are in the list after solution deployed) – but NOTHING happens. NO Action appears in the workflow designers SCREEN.
The worst thing is that… IT WORKED TWO DAY AGO! And now it does not (
Did you ever come into collision with such “bug”? what can be wrong?
I’ve haven’t encountered this problem before, but the code wasn’t thoroughly tested.
Could be issues in the SP2010 or SharePoint Designer beta.
It appears the deployment of the solution fails to add some “authorizedType” tags in the web.config.
Add the following entry to “authorizedTypes” and “authorizedRuleTypes” under “System.Workflow.ComponentModel.WorkflowCompiler”
This fixed the same issue for me.
Entry to add is…
That could be a permission thing. The featurereceiver should add these to the web.config, but the activation account will need enough permissions to perform the action.
Could someone post the ACTIONS file for the SPD actions? I have the component working in the SharePoint UI but nothing shows up in the Actions menu for SPD and there are no entries in the default WSS.ACTIONS file for any of the custom actions. I have installed this on two farms… THANK YOU!!!
What’s the entry I have to add?
I have the same issue, that I can’t see the workflow actions.
Thanks for help.
This solutions is just what I was looking for.
I’ve got the Solution.
The Workflows appears after I’ve restarted the Server.
The mistake I made was not realising there were two wsp files. One is the UI wsp for the ribbon. What I wanted was the Workflow wsp. I installed the UI wsp which was first on the list. Any wonder therefore that the actions did not appear in the workflow.
