Create Reminders from Evernote

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X
#1

Hi,

I real bugbear of mine is that Evernote doesn’t generate tasks in Reminders. I’ve tried to adapt the ‘Create Reminders from Mail’ script to work with Evernote. Please find it below.

However, I’m not entirely happy with it. I could use help with the following;

  1. Is there a way to change the link so that the text of the link is “View in Evernote” rather than the actual url?
  2. Does anyone know where I can find a definition of the properties and methods AppleScript can use with Evernote?

Any other improvements would be appreciated too…

Thanks,
Eamonn.
