10.3: A script to copy iChat buddy icons to Address Book
At first I was getting the same errors that others were getting, but I realized that it happens when you have iChat buddies that do not have correspnding address book cards. I had a bunch from Buddies that I had added years ago using AOL IM. To track it down I deleted the checking for myself code (since I wanted it to add my icon) and inserted a new line to display a dialog of what entry it was working on. My final edited code looked like this:
NOTE that I removed the code that checked for your own name/card, but it did not replace my image anyway...
You will be prompted with a dialog box after every entry that it wants to make, so if you have a large buddy list it could take a while to click through them all :) But at least this way you will know which name the script is busting out on and can then create an address card for the offending name (by control or right-clicking on the buddy name in question, and Get Info. From there you can create a card and re-run the script. Of course, you could eliminate all of this just by making sure all of your buddies in iChat have an address card. Hopefully that helps some others who want to import their pics into Address Book.
