Re: Print Task List AppleScript

Title: Re: Print Task List AppleScript

Ooh, that's a tough one. Unfortunately, the current version of Entourage does not have a 'modification date' or 'last modified' AppleScript property. It's something I have previously requested, and have hopes that it may make it into a later release. So there's no way for AppleScript to even know what that order might be.

However, I think there's a trick that should work. If you want to include old, already completed tasks then start by going through your present completed tasks, one by one, in that very order of completion as you best recall:

Make a duplicate of the task (command-D), and delete the original. In future, always do the same - as soon as you have completed a task, immediately make a duplicate and delete the original.

Now whenever you choose "All Completed" tasks as the option for the script, the pure unsorted order will in fact be the order of completion (namely, the order of "creation" of these duplicates). I don't recall if it's even possible to choose no order at all for the script but maybe that's something I could add.

If this is something you just want to start doing now, without going over the older already-completed tasks, then give the new duplicated tasks that you are interested in an extra category , e.g. "Duplicated", and choose only Completed tasks of that category.

I'll have to check to see if there's any tweak needed to get tasks in "no order".

PLEASE always state which version of Entourage you are using - 2001 or X. It's often impossible to answer your questions otherwise.

If I want to select completed tasks, is it possible to have them sorted by the order in which I checked the "complete" box on each task?
