Save URL to devonthink

DEVONthink Automation

I had a script where it would list all current safari tabs then brought up the selector to choose what group I wanted to save the URL list to. Somehow lost it with recent mac reformat.

Anybody has the same script or similar

Thank you.

Here it is, but I think you already have it.
Also Import>Destination>select group must be checked.

sorry this stupid thing never works. back tick to enclosed the script?

set urlList to {}
set the date_stamp to ((the current date) as string)
set NoteTitle to "URL List from Safari Tabs on " & the date_stamp

--PROCESS TABS OF FRONTMOST SAFARI WINDOW
tell application "Safari"
	activate
	set safariWindow to the front window
	set successCount to 0
	set tabCount to (count of (tabs of safariWindow))
	
	repeat with w in safariWindow
		--GET TAB INFORMATION	
		try
			repeat with t in (tabs of w)
				set TabTitle to (name of t)
				set TabURL to (URL of t)
				set TabInfo to ("<a href=\"" & TabURL & "\">" & TabTitle & "</a><br/>")
				
				--COPY TAB INFO TO END OF LIST	
				copy TabInfo to the end of urlList
				
				--INCREMENT SUCCESS COUNT
				set successCount to (successCount + 1)
				
			end repeat
		end try
	end repeat
end tell

--CONVERT LIST TO TEXT
set old_delim to AppleScript's text item delimiters
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to return
set url_list to urlList as text
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to old_delim

--MAKE THE ITEM IN DEVONthink Pro	
tell application "DEVONthink 3"
	create record with {type:html, source:url_list, name:NoteTitle}
end tell


--NOTIFY RESULTS
my notification_Center(successCount, tabCount)

(*

--NOTIFICATION CENTER
on notification_Center(successCount, itemNum)
	set Plural_Test to (successCount) as number
	
	if Plural_Test is -1 then
		display notification "No Tabs Exported!" with title "Send Safari Tabs to DEVONthink 3"
		
	else if Plural_Test is 0 then
		display notification "No Tabs Exported!" with title "Send Safari Tabs to DEVONthink 3"
		
	else if Plural_Test is equal to 1 then
		display notification "Successfully Exported " & itemNum & ÂŹ
			" Tab to DEVONthink 3" with title "Send Safari Tabs to DEVONthink 3" subtitle "✅"
		
	else if Plural_Test is greater than 1 then
		display notification "Successfully Exported " & itemNum & ÂŹ
			" Tab to DEVONthink 3" with title "Sent Safari Tabs to DEVONthink 3" subtitle "✅"
	end if
	
	
	set itemNum to "0"
	delay 1
end notification_Center

Yes, wrap the script in three backticks, like this

```
script

```

Note: You have to paste it again as plain text as the previous version without backticks is messed up.

Done but this time it worked with just the 3 ticks at the beginning. I didn’t inclosed it

Ticks
script

I did this ```script

No idea why. Thanks, that’s a nice script, didn’t have something like that.

However I wonder what this is meant for:

in "/path/to/December 2018"

ha sorry that I edited for my folder but even with that on, it seems like it doesn’t affect it. that folder was from 2018 but I don’t have that folder anymore. I think I should delete that part.

this scripts sends the ULRs to another folder I have specified in smart rules.

I took this out

tell application “DEVONthink 3”
create record with {type:html, source:url_list, name:NoteTitle} in “/path/to/December 2018”
end tell

and it just saves the URL to inbox and it prompts the notification. IT DOESNT bring up the group selector.

and if you delete this.
-in “/path/to/December 2018”-

it brings up the gourd selector.

Works over here. I saw why you have difficulties with the backticks. For multi-line code they need to be one line above and one line below the actual code.

This works:

```
line 1
line 2

```

This doesn’t work:

```line 1
line2```

Ah I see. thanks for the heads up.

BTW do you happen to know how do I include a shorcutkey to that script? for Safari?

No is not what you are thinking.

I want to execute a shortcut key for Safari first but in a script form. then have that code added to the script above.

You need an app that executes AppleScripts. I can recommend Alfred.app, however it‘s not free.

FastScripts.app seems to be free for up to 10 shortcuts but I never used it. FastScripts
