Applescript – Transfer selected activities to Reminders

Posted on by

To transfer the scheduling of your Merlin project as events in Calendar.app or reminders in the Reminder.app you have two options: you can export or publish to iCal.

Exporting and publishing to iCal work for users of OS X Lion and earlier with iCal. For users of OS X Mountain Lion and newer they transfer to Apple’s Calendar.app and Reminders.app

To be more specific Merlin exports or syncs the complete project, and/or the resource assignments whereby if you choose to

  • convert dates to All day events or those with times, the activities will be transferred as events in local calendars in the Calendar.app
  • convert dates as todos, the activities will be listed in the Reminders.app

We have had however some support requests wanting to know how to export/sync just a selection or a subset of activities. Our answer is, there is no explicit function in Merlin exporting the selection, but you may of course right click the specific project structures, call “Save selection” out of the contextual menu, open the newly created project and export to iCal as todos.

If you want to do this by script, please read further. Continue reading →

Now let’s do some magic with the reports.

Report Events
To report events recorded in your Merlin project, you may customize the Elements area, click an Event row and call File > Print > PDF…

Should you like a report template, here is one outputting non private Events defined in your Merlin project.

Feel free to check the contained python file ‘MEREventsReport.py’, “MEREventsReport.wbl” or “Info.plist” to see how we ask for elements of kind ‘Event’, or how we iterate in their properties for the output. Feel free to modify this custom report further as you require for your needs.

Cirque Du Mac 8

Cirque du Mac is “the Greatest Party of the Year”. We’re going and we’d like to bring some Gantthead folks along. If you’ll be in San Francisco on the evening of Thursday, January 27 and would like to spend your night rocking out to the MacWorld All-Star Band while you watch the trapeze girl dangle from the ceiling, just send an email to party@projectwizards.net and tell us your Weapons of Choice as a Mac based Project Manager. We’ll randomly select 10 of you and provide you with a pass to attend the event as a guest of ProjectWizards. Take your chance for a beer with Dave Prior or Frank Blome!
