AppleScript to sync and then quit?
 
I am trying to get OmniFocus to sync and then quit itself once it has finished syncing.

Somewhere along the way I found this AppleScript to tell OmniFocus to sync:
[CODE]
osascript << EOI
if application "OmniFocus" is running then
tell application "OmniFocus"
synchronize front document
end tell
end if
EOI
[/CODE]

However, I noticed that AppleScript seems to just tell OmniFocus to do that, but it 'returns' before the sync is actually finished.

1. Is there a way to tell OmniFocus to "Sync and Then Quit" using AppleScript, and if so, how?

2. Am I correct that if I choose 'Quit' from OmniFocus' menu, and it needs to sync first, it will attempt to do so before quitting?

(If the answer to #2 is yes then I don't really need an answer to #1, except out of curiosity.)

OmniFocus automatically waits for syncing to finish before quitting, so you the app to sync and then quit, and it will wait for the*sync to finish:

[CODE]tell application "OmniFocus"
synchronize
quit
end tell[/CODE]

But presumably this is academic, since…

Yes, if OmniFocus has any edits on the local device which it hasn't already synchronized (which it normally does within 2 minutes), it will automatically try to synchronize them before it exits.
