Archive Firefox URL to specific Database

I am using the script below to archive the current Firefox URL to DT, but the script is unfortunately configured to archive the URL to whatever database happens to be open at the moment, and if none are open, then it will open the database that I’ve specified as the ‘Default DT Dtatabase’ within the DT preferences, and then it will archive the URL to that database…

I was hoping that someone might be able to respond back with a modified version of the script below that will archive the current firefox URL to a particular database…specifically:

Database Name: Tech Database.dtBase
Database Path: HD1:DEVONthink Pro Database:Tech Database.dtBase

Not sure if its the default behavior of the program, or if any additional customization would need to be done, to first close any currently opened DT database (that isn’t the one specified above) before opening the specific database I want to archive firefox URLs to - but in case that’s not the default behavior, I would of course need the script setup to do this…

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated…Thanks!

tell application "GrowlHelperApp"

	-- that this script will ever send:
	set the allNotificationsList to ¬

	-- Make a list of the notifications
	-- that will be enabled by default.     
	-- Those not enabled by default can be enabled later
	-- in the 'Applications' tab of the growl prefpane.
	set the enabledNotificationsList to ¬
		{"Add webarchive"}
	
	-- Register our script with growl.
	-- You can optionally (as here) set a default icon

Anyone?

A little help with this would be appreciated beyond belief!

Thanks!

Just insert…


open database "/Volumes/HD1/DEVONthink Pro Database/Tech Database.dtBase"

…after ‘tell application “DEVONthink Pro”’. Opens the specified database if necessary and closes the current database.

Thanks for the tip…

That did work, but one problem I still have is that it only works (i.e. opens the correct database to add the web archive to) if DT is not open when the script is triggered…If DT is opened and has a different database open when triggering the script, the code you provided doesn’t seem to work, as it simply proceeds with adding the web archive to the currently opened database…

Is there any way to supplement the bit of code you provided with something that first checks to see if the correct database is open, and if its not, then to close whatever database is open, and subsequently opening the new one to add the web archive to?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated… Thanks!

Some AppleScript commands are executed asynchronously, you might try to add a delay (e.g. “delay 1”) after the “open database” command.
