Hi All,
I’ve been attempting to implement @RosemaryOrchard 's Keyboard Maestro trick to get all OmniFocus tasks with due dates and add them to a calendar. When it works, it works beautifully. However, half the time it doesn’t make it past the “delete all events” part of the script, giving me:
Result:
error “Calendar got an error: Can’t get event id “88013D6F-C221-4F8E-A12D-072A1A1AEEEC” of calendar id “E8F90DD0-46A1-450D-AE8F-244E22957A92”.” number -1728 from event id “88013D6F-C221-4F8E-A12D-072A1A1AEEEC” of calendar id “E8F90DD0-46A1-450D-AE8F-244E22957A92”
I’ve found that if I go through and delete a handful of events from my OmniFocus calendar, it generally runs well the next time. However, that isn’t useful when I’m away from my Mac… Plus, my calendar app seems to freeze any time I’m using it in Keyboard Maestro, but not when I’m running it from Script Editor (I can’t figure out a link, but it’s happened too many times to be coincidental).
Here’s a copy of the script, does anyone have any ideas?
property calendar_name : “OmniFocus” – This is the name of your calendar
property default_duration : 30 --minutes
tell application “Calendar”
set calendar_element to calendar calendar_name
tell calendar calendar_name
set theEvents to every event
repeat with current_event in theEvents
delete current_event
end repeat
end tell
end tell
tell application “OmniFocus”
tell default document
set task_elements to flattened tasks whose ¬
(completed is false ) and (due date ≠ missing value )
repeat with item_ref in task_elements
– GET OMNIFOCUS TASKS
set the_task to contents of item_ref
set task_name to name of the_task
set task_note to note of the_task
set task_due to due date of the_task
set task_estimate to estimated minutes of the_task
set task_url to “omnifocus:///task/” & id of the_task
if task_estimate is missing value then set task_estimate to default_duration
– BUILD CALENDAR DATE
set end_date to task_due
set start_date to task_due - (task_estimate * minutes)
– CREATE CALENDAR EVENT
tell application “Calendar”
tell calendar_element
if not ( exists ( first event whose (start date = start_date) and (summary = task_name))) then
make new event with properties ¬
{summary:task_name, start date:start_date, end date:end_date, url:task_url} at calendar_element
end if
end tell
end tell
end repeat
end tell
end tell
