this script seems to be amazing! but i can't install it, on leopard i'm stuck with installing : "sudo gem install rb-appscript" ,
I get this:
pc20:~ misha$ sudo gem install rb-appscript
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError)
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

ruby extconf.rb install rb-appscript
can't find header files for ruby.

I'm not running Leopard yet, but I wonder if you need to install the Developer Tools for the native extensions build to work. Have you installed the Developer Tools for Leopard?

Hi

here is the script I've been using for a week or two to export my OF tasks into a Safari (data)bookmark to make my tasks available even when I'm offline.

The html export script is based on the script in the beginning of this thread but I had to simplify the html a bit (and remove almost all javascript) since Safari seems to have problems with it when used as a bookmark.

I'm running this script as a Launch Agent every second hour, configured using Lingon so the bookmark/data is up to date the next time I'm syncing my iPhone.

Please backup you bookmarks and other data before running it. I'm not responsible for any data loss, so please be careful.

Installation:

1. Unzip the files wherever you like
2. Create a new bookmark in Safari with address "data:text/html". Choose a name you like (mine is "ToDo")
3. Make sure you have Apple's Developer Tools installed (can be found at developer.apple.com or on your OS X installation disk
4. If you're not on Leopard, install Rubygems
5. Install the markaby gem: "sudo gem install markaby" from the Terminal
6. Install the appscript gem: "sudo gem install rb-appscript" from the Terminal
7. Run the .app script and see if your tasks get exported

Make sure you have set iTunes to sync Safari's bookmarks.
The script is kind of a hack so you might need to fix it (like change the path to growlnotify) but it works for me like this.

Note: It's the .app or the ruby (.rb) script you should use, the other files (css, js etc) are just helpers.

Thanks SO much for posting this. I got an error that I am attaching. I am running Leopard, so I am unsure if it's related to this. Any suggestions? Thanks SO much again... Martin.

Sorry, forgot to add this to the installation instruktions. Make sure you have Apple's Developer Tools installed (they're free on your OS X installation disk or on developer.apple.com). Then you'll need to install two gems to make it work. Just do this in the Terminal (Applications → Utilities → Terminal):

If you're not on Leopard, you'll need to make sure Rubygems is installed. Then install the gems needed:

sudo gem install markaby
sudo gem install rb-appscript

Ciao
Martin

Please correct:
1st ocmmand worked but last one should be:

sudo gem install rb-appscript

otherwise you'll get:

computer:~ misha$ sudo gem install appscript
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Gem::GemNotFoundException)
    Could not find appscript (> 0) in any repository
computer:~ misha$

One last question. The first install worked fine. It asked me if I wanted to install dependencies and I said yes.

When installing the 'appscript' I get the following error:

ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::GemNotFoundException)
Could not find appscript (> 0) in any repository

Any advice is welcomed. I am so eager to try this! :) Thanks.

Sorry, the second gem to install should be "rb-appscript" so type:

sudo gem install rb-appscript

and it will work. Thanks granin :)

Have you installed Apple Developer Tools?
