OF2OO With Project Crashing
 
Rob,

It seems like since the shift to OO4 this script crashes when exporting. I tried to figure out where but with no luck. Any chance you can look at this to see if it is possible to make it work with OO4?

Thanks,

George

[QUOTE=gcrump;129099]It seems like since the shift to OO4 this script crashes when exporting. I tried to figure out where but with no luck. Any chance you can look at this to see if it is possible to make it work with OO4?[/QUOTE]

It looks like OmniOutliner 4 is returning an error when it's asked to make a new row with the expanded property already set, which is triggered by these lines in that script:

[CODE] if length of strNote > 0 then
set recRow to {topic:strName, note:strNote, expanded:true}
else
set recRow to {topic:strName, expanded:true}
end if[/CODE]

We'll fix that, it shouldn't return an error.

In the meantime, the workaround is to set the expansion state after the row has already been created—and it turns out the script was already doing just that:

[CODE] tell docTarget to set expanded of every row to true[/CODE]

So all we need to do is to modify the script to stop trying to set the initial expansion state of a row:

[CODE] if length of strNote > 0 then
set recRow to {topic:strName, note:strNote}
else
set recRow to {topic:strName}
end if[/CODE]

Here is the full, working script:

Ken, It works perfectly thank you very much. I'm impressed! I was on the fence about upgrading to 4.0, You just cinched the deal! Plus I'll by OO for my iPad.

I do have one request that maybe you or someone else could help with. When I run this script in a context view the contexts don't export. When I run it from the project view they do. Is there anyway to have the context with full hierarchy also exported?

Not critical would be nice though.

When I copy the script and paste it into either TextWrangler or AppleScript Editor, I lose all the line breaks. (They seem to come through as multiple tabs, but the code is kind of a mess.).. is that normal? Am I doing something wrong? I'm not a programmer, just a user of most of the Omni apps, so sorry for my ignorance.

No, that's not normal; sounds like it might be a browser-specific issue? (It sounds like "Copy" in your web browser is encoding those lines in an unusual way.) In OmniWeb (and presumably Safari and hopefully most other OS X web browsers), if I copy that text from this page to AppleScript Editor each line comes across with proper line breaks.

Script no longer working?
 
Hi all, I was able to get Ken's script working last week when I was using the trial version of OO4, but now that I bought a licence for OO4 (standard) the script no longer works.

Upon running the script I now get the following error:

[I]error "OmniOutliner got an error: Can’t make class «class OOcl»." number -2710 from «class OOcl» to class[/I]

Which comes from this line of code:
[I]make new «class OOcl» with properties {«class OOct»:«constant OOCtOct0», name:"Context"}[/I]

I tried copying Ken's code into the AppleScript Editor once again and re-compiling, and I get the following error in the editor:

[I]Syntax Error: Expected “,” or “}” but found class name.[/I]

which is for the following line of code:
[I]if blnContext then
make new column with properties {column type:styled text, name:"Project"}[/I]

Any ideas as to why this might be happening? Do I require OO4 pro to be able to do this?

Thanks for your help,

C

Yes, AppleScript support is a Pro feature in OmniOutliner 4. See the bottom of this page for more details: [url]http://www.omnigroup.com/omnioutliner/[/url]

cbeaudj 2014-03-24 11:25 AM

Thanks Lizard, I somehow missed that. Cheers
