[Remind-Fans] ics2rem

[brian hammond]

I just went the Platypus route.  Works great.   Note this is for Mac OS X only. 

Platypus is here: 

  http://www.sveinbjorn.org/platypus_tutorial

The settings I used for Platypus were:

  check is droppable
  edit file types: remove '***' from extension and add 'ics'
  save the script below and select it as the script to run
  add ical2rem to the list of files bundled with the generated app

Edit the path to the saved reminders file if you wish.

Enjoy, Brian


#!/bin/sh

# This is a script for use with Platypus [1]. It is meant to be
# a "droplet" app.  You drag your .ics (iCal) file from Mail.app or
# Finder and drop it on the Platypus-generated app icon in the dock.
# The script will convert your .ics file to Remind [2] reminders and
# append them to ~/.Documents/Reminders/from_ical.rem You should then
# INCLUDE this file in your ~/.reminders

bundle_path=$1
shift

converter_path=$bundle_path/Contents/Resources/ical2rem
reminders_file=$HOME/Documents/Reminders/from_ical.rem

for ics_file in "$@"; do
    "$converter_path" "$ics_file" >> "$reminders_file"
done

Yeah, I modified it to accept a .ics file as input.  I plan on running it from a Mail.app rule.  

"if has .ics file attachment, run applescript"

and that script will run ical2rem 

Or I suppose if that's too crazy I can just create a droplet in Platypus that runs ical2rem and drag the .ics file onto it.

Thanks again.

Yeah, quick it ain't.  But since I run it from cron every hour, I don't
care.
