Applescript import of dot files Thread Tools Search this Thread Display Modes
OmniGraffle v5.2.3...

I have a large number of graphviz dot files that I was hoping to script up batch importing, styling, then exporting for. Unfortunately, I'm both an applescript and omnigraffle noob, and can't seem to get the 'import' command to work.

Code:
tell application "OmniGraffle 5"
	import (POSIX file "~/test.dot")
end tell
fails with:

Code:
tell application "OmniGraffle 5"
	import file "HD:Users:username:test.dot"
		--> error number -1717
Result:
error "OmniGraffle 5 got an error: The handler some object is not defined." number -1717
On the other hand, using the open command as below works, but pops up a dialog to select the layout type to use for dot import (which isn't super friendly for batch processing):

Code:
tell application "OmniGraffle 5"
	open (POSIX file "~/test.dot")
end tell
Thanks,
pschorr
