Applescripts

Various thingies written and worked on by John Maisey.

Applescripts I have written that others may be interested in.

These are mainly to do with Apple iCal, Mail and Address Book. All are free to download, but if you use any of these scripts regularly I'd appreciate a donation. Also, I'd love to hear any feedback you have on these.

Link to Address Book

Makes a link on the clipboard to the first selected record in Address Book. The link will be in the addressbook:// format. Ready to paste into an iCal event's url field (or anywhere else you like).

Delete iCal Duplicates

The functionality of this Applescript to remove duplicate events in iCal has now been added to a Cocoa application called iCal Dupe Deleter. Go here to read more about and download iCal Dupe Deleter.

Fix Todo Alarms

An Applescript to remove alarms from todos in iCal that have no due date. These alarms can trigger empty alarm windows if not removed.

iCal Duration

An Applescript to calculate the total time of selected events in iCal. The script prompts you to select the events, and then returns the total time in hours and minutes of the selection. (updated to a Universal binary, March 2008)

Offset iCal Events

An Applescript to move iCal events in one calendar forward, or back, a specified number of hours, days or weeks. Make an archive if your calendars in case you don't like the results.

GeoMail

Opens http://www.rleeden.no-ip.com/geotool.php and displays the geographical location of the originating server of the first selected Mail.app message. This is very rarely going to be the exact location of the machine the email was written on. Fun all the same.
