An AppleScript to export all Stickies as text
Authored by: osxpounder on Feb 07, '06 06:59:45AM

I'm sorry to report that it fails for me after saving 5 to 7 Stickies [of my total of 22 Stickies notes]. I find it curious that the number of files it manages to create isn't exactly the same, each time I try.

Does not work here, either. Managed to export zero of nine notes. No embedded images or other binary stuff. Hmm. Any ideas?

What kind of error did you get? Are you running Tiger on Mac OS X 10.4.4?

thx

Hi,

No error, just no files got saved. Running 10.4.4 -- German is set as UI language (interestingly, even though "Stickies" is called "Notizzettel" in the localized version, the *process* name (see your script) is still "Stickies") .... hope this helps!

Sorry I am not able to help in this regards. I didn't test my script against other languages and in fact I always assume that these scripts were transparent to different languages- I guess I am wrong. Maybe someone else may be able to offer some advice in this area.

thx

No files exported
Authored by: foop on Mar 27, '06 09:07:10AM

Nothing is exported (no files written) for me when I run this script. Best I can tell from the AppleScript log, the script is unable to get any window names:

tell application "System Events"
get name of every window of application process "Stickies"
{}
end tell

I'm running 10.4.5. Anyone else see this behavior?
