Is this TinkerTool or TinkerTool System Release 2?

Thanks

whpalmer...I figured out Onyx. Rebuilt my LaunchServices. Script still not functioning.

Hmm. Okay, my understanding of how the system associates apps might be incorrect. Lizard's suggestion should work, I was just hoping you could do it in a cleaner fashion.

Do you still have the old version of OmniFocus installed anywhere on your system?

By the way, you need to replace things like this:

-- Add waiting for context task to OmniFocus
				tell application "OmniFocus"

with

tell application id "com.omnigroup.omnifocus.macappstore"

There are some scripts that use

tell application id "com.omnigroup.omnifocus"

instead of

tell application "OmniFocus"

but either way, you need to change the tell application blocks to the form suggested by Lizard.

whpalmer4...I was hoping your way would work too!

No old versions of OF on my machine.

Thanks for the 'simplification' of the script change. I'm not good with AppleScript at all, and my attempts at noodling around with it tend to be unsuccessful without some guidance.

whpalmer...I updated my scripts. No success. Dang.

I have been playing around with the script and MailTags outbox rules and it seems to be working fine when i send an e-mail from my iCloud account, the task gets added to my Inbox with the Waiting for context.

There seems to be a problem when i send from my Exchange accoutnt - my primary e-mail account. The task does not arrive in OF inbox or does the Growl notification show.

Does anyone have a solution for the Exchange problem?

[bpwhistler]

That's interesting @bugvi. I didn't have an iCloud email account, so set one up just to test. I still get no Growl notification or task in my OF inbox when sending from my iCloud address in Mail. I wonder what the difference is in our setup.

Thanks for your reply bpwhistler.

This is my Outbox rule set up

If [Any] of the following conditions are met:

[MailTags Keyword] [Is Equal to] [@Waiting]

Run the AppleScript

I use this script:


(*
Waiting For Mails to OmniFocus Script
by simplicityisbliss.com, Sven Fechner
MailTags project and due date compatibility added by Scott Morrison, Indev Software

Based on an Outbox Rule (Mail Act-On) in Mail.app this script adds specific messages
to the OmniFocus Inbox with the waiting for context

MailTags is required to automatically set the project and the due date.

Mail Act-On (www.indev.ca) is required to define the Outbox Rule to only
create tasks for those outgoing emails that are to be tracked in OmniFocus

A sample Outbox rule may be
if MailTags Tickle Date is After 0 days today
Run Apple Script: [ThisAppleScript]


The script uses Growl from the App Store for feedback notification if it is installed and running
