Scripts for Integrating OmniFocus with DEVONthink 2 Thread Tools Search this Thread Display Modes
Warming up an old thread...

...reinstalling all my old stuff and I don't have a backup of the scripts:

-> RobTrew - where can I find the scripts now ? the bit.ly gives a 404 error...


Regards Stan
 
Thanks Sven !
 
I am a big fan of Rob's scripts, and they have made many things simpler for my workflow. I need a little bit of help on one of them.

The OF/DTPO Project Notes in OO3 works very well on my Mavericks system. However, I would like to use plain text. I am not able to upgrade OO3 to OO4 to fix the lack of Quick Look of .oo3and which therefore makes DTTG useless to view the linked project plans.

The script includes an option for FoldingText, but I would like to use TextMate 1. Is this something I could change easily?

I have attempted to modify the script to allow TextMate. On the code below I get "Error Number:Can't get <<class rURL>> of missing value. -1728"

Any help would be appreciated!

Code:
property pblnJustFolder : false
property pblnUseSyncAsRoot : false
property pblnPreferFTToOmniOO3 : true

-- Robin Trew

-- ver .204 June 19 2011
-- ver .205  [corrects a bug in which a newly created folder was not immediately displayed]
-- ver .206	[unifies the folder and notes scripts, differing only by value of
--			the property pblnJustFolder at the top of the script]
--	Aug 22 2011
-- Ver .208 Still defaults to the DT Database named in pstrDTDB (below)
--			but can use different DT databases for different OF folders
--			(will use the first existing DT database whose POSIX path is found in the note of an enclosing OmniFocus folder
--			[a script for editing OF folder notes can be found at 
--			http://forums.omnigroup.com/showthread.php?t=21942]
-- ver .211 Sep 12 2011
--			Adds option, above - top of script, to make the Sync group the root of all new folders
-- Ver .214 Nov 19 2012 Uses www.FoldingText.com rather than OO3 if pblnPreferFTToOmniOO3=true

-- IF property pblnJustFolder : **false**  (see top of script)
-- CREATES/OPENS A PROJECT NOTES FILE (STORED IN DEVONthink 2) FOR THE SELECTED OMNIFOCUS PROJECT.
-- 1.	The project notes file is an OmniOutliner 3 document stored in DEVONthink 2 folder
-- 2.	The Devonthink record contains a hyperlink back to the OmniFocus project
-- 2.	The script ensures that a DT hyperlink to the document in DevonThink is placed in the note field of the project
-- 3.	In the absence of a link to existing notes in DevonThink, 
--		the script will seek or create the 003 file in a DevonThink folder which matches 
--		the folder path of the project in OmniFocus 
--		(and add the hyperlinks from project to notes, and from folder and notes to project)

-- OR - IF property pblnJustFolder : **true** (see top of script)
-- JUST CREATES/OPENS A PROJECT MATERIALS FOLDER (IN DEVONthink 2) 
-- FOR THE SELECTED OMNIFOCUS PROJECT.
-- 1.	The script ensures that a DT hyperlink to the document in DevonThink is placed in 
--		the note field of the project
-- 2.	In the absence of a link to an existing folder in DevonThink, 
--		the script will add the hyperlinks from project to folder, and from folder to project)
