… (and it’s unknown how much API access will cost) I’m trying to save tweets via Safari’s print dialog.
Already restarted Safari, DEVONthink and macOS.
Save PDF to DEVONthink
It’s possible to save the linked TwitterDev tweet via Safari to DEVONthink
The group selector appears, I choose a group and save.
It’s not possible to save any other tweet.
Instead I get this dialog:
What’s this?
Save as PDF
Trying to use Save as PDF (instead of Save PDF to DEVONthink) I get strange results:
It’s possible to save the linked TwitterDev tweet (which contains a slash / in its name).
It’s not possible to save any other tweet that contains a slash, the Save button is greyed out. After removing the slash I can save to DEVONthink’s inbox (or any other location).
Any idea what’s going on?
Also: is it correct that records created via Save as PDF don’t have a URL?
Good question. That’s not even an error message of DEVONthink but most likely one of the system’s PDF service system. The icon is the one of the alias of DEVONthink in ~/Library/PDF Services.
Via UI Browser.app I can see that the dialog is coming from macOS process printtool. When the error occurs the console shows error -37, but I couldn’t find anything about that online, so it could be a new printtool issue. Would it help/would you be interested in a sample of printtool?
It’s a Keyboard Maestro macro, running for some days now. But the whole thing is just a backup in case the API access is too expensive. So yes, if the service can be used via a macro I’ll use that for the offending URLs
If one invests some time to find the people whose tweets are worth archiving then Twitter can be very useful. Took some years but now I definitely don’t want to miss my Twitter lists and DTTG to create bookmarks
