I am trying to make a script that will total the minutes and add 5 minutes to every 25 minutes of actions. That way I can quickly total how much real time will be spent doing tasks. So for example 55 minutes of actions would be 2 pomodoro's and a total of two 5 minute breaks (10 minutes) or an hour with five minutes of extra time that didn't fit in a pomodoro.
I am stuck for some reason this won't repeat on minutes higher than 100 and I can't figure out why.
Copy into your clipboard 76 and then run this script and it works as expected.
Then copy into your clipboard 100 and run this script and you can see it doesn't repeat totalMinutes even though it is less then 25 as listed.
Code:
set totalMinutes to the clipboard
set numberOfPomodoros to 0 --We need this as our starting point, if you make this a 1 then it would always be one hour more than your total or a 2 is two hours more than your real total
repeat
if totalMinutes < 25 then exit repeat
set totalMinutes to totalMinutes - 25 --This subtracts the minutes each time and allows you to convert it into hours each time it loops in the next line.
set numberOfPomodoros to numberOfPomodoros + 1 --This makes the every 25 minutes you subtracted above get converted into 1 hour and then when it loops again if it can it adds one to the new total of hours. Pretty neat!
end repeat
set totalMinutes to the clipboard --This just takes the IngTotal that was set in the clipboard and starts fresh again with total minutes of all selected actions.
set pomodoroWithBreak to 0 --We need this as our starting point, if you make this a 1 then it would always be one hour more than your total or a 2 is two hours more than your real total
repeat
if totalMinutes < 25 then exit repeat
set totalMinutes to totalMinutes - 25 --This subtracts the minutes each time and allows you to convert it into hours each time it loops in the next line.
set pomodoroWithBreak to pomodoroWithBreak + 30 --This makes the every 25 minutes you subtracted above get converted into 1 hour and then when it loops again if it can it adds one to the new total of hours. Pretty neat!
end repeat
set pomodoroHours to 0 --We need this as our starting point, if you make this a 1 then it would always be one hour more than your total or a 2 is two hours more than your real total
repeat
if pomodoroWithBreak < 60 then exit repeat
set pomodoroWithBreak to pomodoroWithBreak - 60 --This subtracts the minutes of each pomodoro + the 5 minute break figured from above
set pomodoroHours to pomodoroHours + 1 --This makes the 60 minutes you subtracted above get converted into 1 hour and then when it loops again if it can it adds one to the new total of hours. Pretty neat!
end repeat
display dialog "Total full pomodoros : " & numberOfPomodoros & " +" & totalMinutes & " minutes extra" & return & "Total pomodoro time: " & pomodoroHours & " hours " & totalMinutes & " minutes" buttons {"OK"} default button 1
Here is the complete code of what I am trying to do. Again it works as long as the minutes don't go above 100 and I don't see why.

-- 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

This is an example of how to set the contents of the clipboard and also set the clipboard to a variable. http://macscripter.net/viewtopic.php?id=8396
set myString to "Hello There!"
set the clipboard to myString -- This is how you set the clipboard to a name so you can use that value.
set myClipboard to the clipboard
