Fixed -- the following seems to work fine for embedding:
tell application "Skim"
set _file to front document's file
set _filename to front document's file as string
tell application "Finder" to set _ext to name extension of (info for _file)
close front document
if _ext is "pdf" then
try
if (do shell script "xattr " & quoted form of POSIX path of _filename & " |
grep net_sourceforge_skim-app_notes") is not 0 then
tell application "Finder" to say "embedding"
set cmdPath to "/Applications/Skim.app/Contents/SharedSupport/skimpdf"
do shell script (quoted form of cmdPath) & " embed " & quoted
form of POSIX path of _filename
tell application "Finder" to say "embedded"
end if
on error
tell application "Finder" to say "No new! notes to embed"
end try
end if
end tell
I assigned <cmd>-w to the above AS (using FastScripts). (I reassigned
the File:Close shortcut to something obscure using
Preferences:Keyboard:Keyboard Shortcuts.)
In use, note that AS can run only one instance of a script at a time, so
let one file close and embed before starting on the next.
For unembedding, one can assign a shortcut to File:Convert Notes ... (using
Sys Prefs).
Or, to eliminate the confirming dialog, one can instead use the script I
posted earlier:
tell application "Skim"
set _filename to first document's file as string
if _filename ends with ".pdf" then
save first document
convert notes first document
tell application "Finder" to say "unembedded"
else
tell application "Finder" to say "not a pdf"
end if
end tell
and assign a shortcut to it using FastScripts.
FWIW, I considered periodically running the skimalot script (
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/skim-app/index.php?title=Shell_Scripts)
to
embed all pdfs in my Dropbox'd folders. But, given that I access Dropbox
from multiple devices, I prefer the immediacy of the scripts posted above.
Another option I haven't explored is monitoring file changes using Kicker (
http://rubydoc.info/gems/kicker/2.6.1/frames) in a terminal script and
embedding from there. That might be faster and allow closure of multiple
files.
