Post Links to Script and Workflow Discussions Here

[humanengr]

In addition to the official EagleFiler AppleScripts, various other scripts, workflows, etc., have been discussed in this forum.

Posting the links to those threads as replies to this sticky will make them easier to locate.

As a start on collecting pointers to past discussions, here are some from the first two pages of the ~300 "script" search results. There are also a fair number of threads with other obvious search strings (scpt 17, "tell application" 68, attachment 47, workflow 83, integration 39, Mail 300, Dropbox 52, Skim 34, …) and lots of categories that arguably could be included in such a collection, from workflows to shell scripts.

All contributions to this organizing effort will be greatly appreciated.

Scripts

• Capture messages and their tags from Apple Mail. Also see this related thread. (This is an enhanced version of the EagleFiler Import From Apple Mail AppleScript, as indicated in the notes for that script.)
  
  
• Convert pdf files with annotations between three formats: pdf with Skim annotations as extended attributes, pdf bundle (pdfd), and pdf with Skim annotations embedded. (These build on the EagleFiler PDF to PDF Bundle AppleScript.)
  
  
• Import all open Safari tabs to EagleFiler.
  
  
• Change the font of rtf files to the font in EagleFiler preferences and preserve bold, italics, and bold-italics. (This is an enhanced version of the EagleFiler Change Rich Text Font AppleScript, as indicated in the notes for that script)
  
  
• Convert folders to tags. Two versions: one to convert the immediate folder parent and the other to convert the entire folder hierarchy to tags.
  
  
• Import selected Apple Mail Messages with Options. (This is an enhanced version of the EagleFiler Import From Apple Mail, as indicated in the notes for that script.)
  
  
• Transfer date in filename to "Date Created" and "Date Modified" fields.
  
  
• Import docs into Mendeley from EF. (unfinished -- Mendeley "has no plans to introduce [AppleScript] support in the immediate future")
  
  
• Import record into EF and auto-assign tag sets. Two versions: one for LaunchBar and the other for a Folder Action.
  
  
• Create a separate "notes" record from a record's "Notes" field.
  
  
• Open library (from LaunchBar) and select Smart Folder.
  
  
• originals-masterfiles -- remove duplicates: A user seeks a modification of the Remove Duplicates script that, instead of keeping the older of the duplicates, keeps one tagged “original” or “master”.
  
  
• Merge the selected PDF files using PDFpen.
  
  
• checking for duplicate pdfs (with and without annotations)
  

Workflows

• The How do you use EagleFiler? thread contains lots of interesting posts addressing, e.g., EF-Bibdesk-Word and EF-Synk Pro-PDF Expert (or ReaddleDocs) workflows.
• Workflow for converting paginated HTML manuals into a single PDF

This script is for users who have turned off the esoteric preference to ScanForNewFilesOnOpen. It will "hide" selected records from EF (remove them from the Library), but keep them in the original EF Finder folder. One use is to keep old drafts without having them clutter the Records List.
