The Omni Group Forums - View Single Post - OmniFocus bought thru AppStore: Cache-querying scripts fail

RobTrew

Various scripts on this board query the cache, and typically start with a property like:

Code:

property pstrDBPath : "~/Library/Caches/com.omnigroup.OmniFocus/OmniFocusDatabase2"

AppStore-purchased copies of OmniFocus can not run these scripts without modification.

A possible modification might be something like the following (though this is not bullet-proof):

Code:

set pstrDBPath to GetCachePath()

on GetCachePath()
	set strDefaultFolder to "~/Library/Caches/com.omnigroup.OmniFocus"
	set strAppStoreFolder to "~/Library/Caches/com.omnigroup.OmniFocus.MacAppStore"
	set strDBName to "OmniFocusDatabase2"
	
	set strCacheFolder to strDefaultFolder
	if (do shell script ("test -d " & strCacheFolder & "; echo $?")) ≠ "0" then
		set strCacheFolder to strAppStoreFolder
		if (do shell script ("test -d " & strCacheFolder & "; echo $?")) ≠ "0" then return ""
	end if
	
	return strCacheFolder & "/" & strDBName
end GetCachePath
