Scripting Yojimbisti,

I needed to add tags to multiple items while sorting out my
stuff. So by hook or by crook, I kludged this little script
together, which adds multiple tags to multiple selected items in
the Yojimbo browser window.

Caveat Emptor: I'm no Applescript expert, those of you who are,
might have a little chuckle at how i've strung this together,
but trust me, it's cribbed from multiple reliable sources ;-)
And, besides, it seems to do what I want - nearly. I suspect
setting 't' may be a red herring, but it's ticking along nicely,
so I'm releasing it into the wild. If you know better feel free
to tinker...



-- Start Script
(*
Here's a script to batch add tags to Yojimbo items.
Select the items you wish to add a tag or tags to, in the form
of single words or phrases ensuring they are comma delimited.
(Without spaces, 'cos I don't know how to strip them just now)
*)

tell application "Yojimbo"
set _targets to (selected items of browser window 1)
set ct to count items of _targets
set tag_list to ""
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ","
set t to ""
set s to text returned of ¬
(display dialog "Tag(s) - comma delimited:" default
answer t)
set the tag_list to every text item of s
repeat with i from 1 to ct
try
add tags tag_list to item i of _targets
on error
beep
end try
end repeat
end tell
-- End Script

Oh, and if it trashes your reliably .mac syncing Yojimbo set-up,
don't say you haven't been warned.

Have fun.

Cheers

John
