One of the big improvements in Cyndicate 1.0.2 was the beefing up of AppleScript. This was done mainly to allow for better integration with 3rd party apps. Fortunately we saw a return on the effort almost right away. The day after 1.0.2 was released, EagleFiler 1.2.5 was released. It added Cyndicate to its list of supported capture apps. If you’re not familiar with it, EagleFiler is a very cool app for archiving email, PDFs, web pages, and now articles from Cyndicate.
On a similar note, I had an inquiry today if it was possible to import Cyndicate’s articles into DEVONthink Pro like they were used to doing with other apps. A solution didn’t exist already, so I wrote an AppleScript to do it. The script will take the articles selected in Cyndicate and create a separate entry in DEVONthink Pro for each one. You can download it here.
Update: The DEVONthink script has been updated. It will now create a link item in DEVONthink if the article’s subscription is set to show linked content.
If there are any other apps like EagleFiler or DEVONthink Pro that you would like to be able to import articles into, please file a support request and we’ll try to provide scripts for them.
Note: Due to a bug in the selected article AppleScript key, only articles that are in a top level folder can be added at this time. Articles that are in subfolders will cause an error message to be given. This issue will be fixed in the forthcoming 1.0.3 release. Sorry for the inconvenience. Cyndicate 1.0.3 is out and fixes this issue.
