Support for OmniFocus? #209

Closed yanfosec closed 9 years ago

yanfosec commented 9 years ago

I am not a python developer, but I have written several apple scripts for OmniFocus. Perhaps someone wants to team up on this?

nate-parrott commented 9 years ago

that sounds great — I know a lot about Python but not so much about Applescript. An example of a plugin that's basically a wrapper around an Applescript is copycolor. the basic gist of it is, you construct an applescript as a string using the plugin's input query (in Python), then invoke it using the applescript module, which you can copy into you plugin bundle.

If you post a link to the scripts, I'd be happy to work on getting them to work in Flashlight :+1:

The script below is all you need to import ‘theText’ into a task / reminder, that’s already familiar to any OF user.

Here is the Applescript:

tell application "OmniFocus" activate tell default document parse tasks into with transport text theText end tell end tell

Can you put it together into a plugin?  I am happy to test it out...

Here's my shot at it: omnifocus.bundle.zip I'm not sure if the applescript is correct, and I don't have omnifocus so I can't really test, but all the Python stuff works.

When you're happy with it, submit a pull request so others can download it!

I added another example method, fixed up the info.json and tested the Applescript.  All looks good.

Thanks!
