I downloaded this Pomodoro Timer from the Apple website.
It has support for AppleScript events, so I created a script that automatically sets my Adium status to away (with an auto-reply) while I am working on a Pomodoro and automatically sets it to Available when I have finished.
After much messing around, trying to work out just how the AppleScript pseudo-natural-language works, I ended up with this to set the away status:
-- This goes on one line in Pomodoro Setup -> AppleScript -> Start tell application "Adium" to set the status of every account whose status type is available to the first status whose title is "Pomodoro In Progress"
and this to set it back to available:
-- This goes on one line in Pomodoro Setup -> AppleScript -> Reset and End tell application "Adium" to set the status of every account whose status type is away to the first status whose title is "Available"
Hi Andy, I included your scripts and a link to this page in the new pomoscript page in http://pomodoro.ugolandini.com.
Excellent! That was exactly what I was looking for and even the same use. Thanks! 🙂
Pomodairo and Focus Booster are my tools of choice (both at the same time actually)
Actually, you can just do:
tell application “Adium” to go away
and
tell application “Adium” to go available
this is great, except i cannot get this to work.
i create an applescript and drag it in to the “start” box etc and it creates the path.
no go.
ive types the applescript in to the box.
no go.
ive tried locating the applsciprt form the find file dialogue but it wont let me select the file, it is grayed out.
no go.
what the hell am i missing?
and by the way there is no “applescript” tab..
its Pomodoro -> Prefs -> Script
please and thanks!
The scripts must be named .pomo to be selectable
I made a slight modification to set the status message:
tell application “Adium” to go away with
message “Pomodoro in Progress”
I tried the above but didn’t work. I tried what Josh and Bobes suggested and it worked!
tell application “Adium” to go away with message “Pomodoro in Progress”
tell application “Adium” to go available
Thanks!
