Minuteur applescript
 

Here's a code-snippet for someone who asked about snagging durations from a task and throwing it into Minuteur. It's crude, but works ok for me. If you don't have growl, comment out that line...

[CODE]tell application "OmniFocus"
tell front document
tell document window 1
set theSelectedItems to selected trees of content
end tell
if ((count of theSelectedItems) = 1) then
set selectedItem to value of item 1 of theSelectedItems
set selectedDuration to estimated minutes of selectedItem
end if
end tell
end tell

tell application "Minuteur"
StartCountdown "00" & selectedDuration & "00"
end tell

do shell script "/usr/local/bin/growlnotify OmniFocus Task focus -m 'Working on selected task for " & selectedDuration & " minutes' -p 1"
[/CODE]

Hope this helps with some ideas...

The growl is a nice touch.

For code that allows for slightly longer durations, (and for summing up the durations of a set of selected tasks) you could also look at the [URL="http://forums.omnigroup.com/showthread.php?t=4748&highlight=minuteur"]earlier thread[/URL] on scripting Minuteur.

Hey Rob,

Thanks for the reply! I'm new to the forum, so it appears I've missed a ton of great info! :)

Thanks for the pointer!!

ps- growl is fantastic for most simple dialogs- love to use it where possible. :)
