SNYS v0.41

I noticed that SNYS was having trouble with Lion, and I think some of the later Snow Leopard security updates, and wasn’t able to spawn processes properly. I’ve updated it so that it is able to do so. (Basically this just involved re-saving the script as a new application in Applescript Editor and then copying [...]

SNYS v0.4, “Delete all Simplenotes” script, sundry data duplication issues

A few people have mentioned that SNYS seems to be duplicating notes recently, which I experienced myself. I’m not entirely sure what caused this – perhaps a brief Simplenote blip – but after some testing, I can say that after resetting sync by deleting all my Simplenotes and re-uploading, SNYS is behaving fine for me. [...]

SNYS: latest progress

Sorry, I’ve been tremendously busy recently and haven’t had much time to work on the existing bugs in SNYS. I do hope to be able to patch a few up this Christmas, and also write some diagnostic scripts which may help track down why some people just can’t use it at all. (This is still [...]

Mass add keywords to iPhoto with Launchbar

I was playing with iPhoto this morning and decided that, really, it would be better to properly tag my photos and use smart collections, rather than have them in unwieldy folders which clutter up the left sidebar, and which I can’t delete without losing the associated classifications. (If I don’t keep a folder called “Cats” [...]

Simplenote Yojimbo Sync v0.31

It barely deserves a whole new post, but in case anyone is following this tag, I’ve added a version 0.31 of SNYS with a few new debugging checks in it now. I won’t put comments on here – please add any you have to the v0.3 post.

Simplenote Yojimbo Sync v0.3(1)

As the previous post suggest I’ve uploaded a new version of SNYS, 0.3. This has some more extensive logging options as some people are still having issues, but for those who aren’t, this version stays running and repeats the sync once per hour. You might wish to have it run on startup if you are [...]

Applescript and regular actions

I was wondering how I could have Simplenote Yojimbo Sync (henceforth, SNYS) running regularly, and thinking of all sorts of methods involving launchd, but actually it seems very simple to do with Applescript, which is where I should have looked in the first place. From p76 of the Applescript Language Guide: Stay-open script applications can [...]

Simplenote Yojimbo Sync v0.2

I’ve produced a new version of SNYS, 0.2, with the following changes: Version checking at startup, with the option to download now or later, or skip a version. Logging information to ~/Library/Logs/Simplenote Yojimbo Sync.log, which is the primary purpose of this version, to get some more debugging information for the people for whom it doesn’t [...]

Simplenote Yojimbo Sync v0.11

This is the first public version of my syncing script between Simplenote and Yojimbo.
