Hi, I want to make a workflow (actually this could work also as applescript service) that takes the currently active window/tab in Safari and opens it in a private window. Better still would be to select a url and open it in a private window. Suggestions?

Umm no, it's not a bug on your end. In reminders the link works fine, and in task paper it doesn't work even when I attach a mail to a reminder without your workflow. Found the the property for the default list. Thanks! Or

OK I figured out that the address is missing a "//", meaning it should be "message://%3C..." instead of "message:%3C". Thought I'd just try to automate a "find & replace" in Taskpaper, but I don't know how. BTW, Is there a way to change the default list for the Reminders workflow, e.g. if I want it to create by default in "Taskpaper" list instead of "Reminders"?

Last update for today: links from Finder and Safari work great. Here's the applescript, based on Andrew Shuttleworth's script: # Move Reminders.app inbox to TaskPaper # Include the due date, if there is one tell application "Reminders" tell account "iCloud" tell list "TaskPaper" set inbox_contents to (get reminders) if length of inbox_contents is greater than 0 then repeat with k from 1 to length of inbox_contents set this_todo to item k of inbox_contents set inbox_item to "- " & (get name of this_todo) set due_date to (get due date of this_todo) set due_date_string to "" set done_date to (get completion date of this_todo) set item_done to (get completed of this_todo) set item_note to (get body of this_todo) if item_done is true then set yc to text -4 thru -1 of ("0000" & (year of done_date)) set mc to text -2 thru -1 of ("00" & ((month of done_date) as integer)) set dc to text -2 thru -1 of ("00" & (day of done_date)) set done_string to " @done(" & yc & "-" & mc & "-" & dc & ")" end if if item_done is false then set done_string to " " end if if due_date is not missing value then set y to text -4 thru -1 of ("0000" & (year of due_date)) set m to text -2 thru -1 of ("00" & ((month of due_date) as integer)) set d to text -2 thru -1 of ("00" & (day of due_date)) set due_date_string to " @due(" & y & "-" & m & "-" & d & ")" end if set inbox_item to inbox_item & due_date_string & " " & done_string tell application "TaskPaper" tell document "test.taskpaper" make new entry with properties {name:inbox_item} if item_note is not missing value then make new entry with properties {name:item_note, entry type:note type} end if end tell save end tell end repeat delete reminders end if end tell end tell end tell

OK so I managed to get a working script taking reminders from Reminders.app and pasting them to Taskpaper, together with their notes, dates etc. What I'm missing now is how to change the link to the original mail into something workable in plain-text format such as Taskpaper's. What I'm getting is e.g. message:%3Ce5cd63a20dd84cda98fa0855b71d944d@vanex03.vanleer.org.il%3E Any ideas what to do with it? If I can get it to work, I can work out a not-so-elegant workflow sending messages etc. to reminders and automatically exporting them to Taskpaper...

Umm... no. This script is way too complicated for me. I'll try to make one of the "Reminders to Taskpaper" applescripts out there work, and use Reminders as an intermediate.

It should have. I'll give it a try myself and let you know if I succeed or have some questions

Can you add an option to add a task with a link to a selected mail message, similar to Jack James's "r this"?

Hey, Can this workflow be converted to work with taskpaper instead of reminders?

Thanks. Another question - do you think it can be possible to make a similar workflow but which will take the selection (message in Mail.app, file etc.) and insert it to the new task as an attachment? (Similar to Jack James' "r this" command in Reminders workflow)

Does anyone know if I must have Omnifocus Pro in order for workflows to work? Is there a way to work with it with the standard version? Thanks,

This is an amazing workflow! specifically the ability to "r this" an email, saved me from moving to Mail Pilot, Mailbox etc... Couple of things: 1. When I "r this" a file in finder, the reminder seems to be created OK, but the link to the file doesn't work. Any idea why? 2. Ability to "r this" a note in notes.app would be super. Thanks!
