TaskPaper and Tasko sync scripts

Posted February 18, 2008 by Zsolt Benke in tasko taskpaper applescripts download sync script

Hi guys, I just wrote three applescripts to send your text from TaskPaper to an existing paper in Tasko or download a paper from Tasko directly to your TaskPaper document. I tested it under 10.5.2 with TaskPaper 1.0.3.

IMPORTANT: if you send a text to an exising Tasko paper, the script will overwrite the content of it.

How-to install:

  1. Download zip from here http://www.wyctim.com/stuff/taskosync.zip

  2. Copy scripts to the TaskPaper Script Folder ("TaskPaper/AppleScript Logo/Open Scripts Folder" menu)

  3. Go to your Tasko account, open the Settings tab and find your User ID number on the bottom of the page. Open the scripts in Script Editor, and replace the 0 in the first line (set userIdnum to 0) to your User ID number.

  4. Go back to your Tasko Settings, and under the User ID number you found your Token key (very long string). In the second line of the scripts (set tokenString to "your apikey"), replace the your apikey text with this string. Do not delete the commas. Save all 3 scripts.

  5. Open up TaskPaper and under the Scripts menu you found some new interesting command. Try it :)

If anybody have question, just ask me in this topic.

Update: I found a little bug. Please download the pack again.

PS: sorry for my english, I hope you can understand it. :)

iPod Sync

Posted January 14, 2008 by Daniel Schutzsmith in ipod sync life2go

I was tinkering today and was thinking about how I could get taskpaper onto my iPod. I'm sure that most people have already realized how to do this but I thought I would share my process for anyone else that is looking to figure out how to do it.

My main reasoning was that I wanted to carry my task list with me tand also not have to manually keep moving it onto my iPod.

First a little bit about my setup: 4th gen iPod Black Macbook Life2Go App 1.7 beta TaskPaper 1.0.3

  • rename your task list to have the extension .txt. This will allow Life2Go to recognize the file as text. TaskPaper 1.0.3 will still use the file and work with it even though it has a .txt extension (thats the beauty of it!)
  • download the Life2Go beta
  • install the app and open it
  • click on the "Text" icon
  • click the plus sign at the bottom and choose "Text File"
  • locate your TaskPaper .txt file and Voila! _ now the next time you sync your iPod to your computer, it will automagically put your tasks on there as well.

Again, I know this is rudimentary for many people on here, but I wanted to share in case anyone finds it useful. It should also be noted that Life2Go isn't the only option out there for mac <> ipod syncing, do a search and I am sure you'll see that other sync apps can also do the same thing with a .txt file.
