Updated version allows customization for use of growl or dialog box, and gracefully handles case where growl not present. Also warns if there are tasks in the selection which do not have duration estimates.
Code:
-- Sum estimated times, display sum in Growl and copy sum to clipboard (for later pasting back into estimated time for an entire project, or elsewhere).
-- Jake Bowers (jwb1970@gmail.com), 2008-24-10
-- largely based on RobTrew's StartTimer.scpt Ver 0.02 for code to adds up durations of selected tasks (http://forums.omnigroup.com/showthread.php?t=4748)
-- and on hint from a11en in thread Minuteur Applescript for Growl Notification. (http://forums.omnigroup.com/showthread.php?t=6749)
-- James O'Leary (jpo@me.com), 2008-08-11
-- now can handle context view "boxes) (assigned an estimated time of 0) and the time displayed is in hours and minutes instead of
-- just a straight up hours number. Displays in dialog box now instead of copying to clipboard. Item count displayed as well.
-- Aaron Hunyady (aaron@hunyady.net), 2009-08-01
-- Removed "cancel" button in dialog. Total time in minutes is copied to the clipboard.
-- Ben Davidson (benjamin@idavidson.ca), 20009-05-02
-- Updated the Growl notification feature and removed the dialogue box (you need to install the Growl extra, "growlnotify" - included in the install disk image)
-- Changed some of the dialog wording
-- Bill Palmer, 2011-01-30
-- Control use of growl vs. dialog box with useGrowlPref property, gracefully handle case where growlnotify not installed.
-- Also warn if any of the included tasks did not have a duration estimate
property useGrowl : false -- set this to false if you don't (want to) use Growl
property growlNotifyPath : "/usr/local/bin/growlnotify" -- default location for growlnotify installation
