When writing Applescripts for Yojimbo, the "selection" property
reports the currently selected database item[s]. However, if you
select a note item (for example) and click in the note text to edit
it, the selection is "missing value." The note clearly remains the
current item, and therefore seems as reasonable a target for scripting
as when the item list rather than the note text had focus. Is there an
Applescripty way to determine the id of the current item in these
circumstances?
The selection property on the application is an "alias" for the
selection property on the front window.
The selection follows the user focus. When user focus is not in the
collection or items list, there is no scriptable object selected, so
asking for the selection property returns missing value to indicate
this.
The scripting class of the main window is "browser window" and it has
two additional properties which allow you to access the selected
collection and selected items independent of the currently focused
view. Run the following with the event log open:
tell application "Yojimbo"
selection
if class of window 1 is browser window then
selected collections of browser window 1
selected items of browser window 1
end if
end tell
