[missing-sync-palmos-talk] Feature Request - Scripting

[Scott Gruby]

The script will look something like this (it isn't pretty, but it 
works):

on open (theItems)
	tell application "Missing Sync for Palm OS"
		set installPath to path to install files
		set current profile to "Install"
		set mode to synchronize
	end tell
	with timeout of 1000000 seconds
		try
			tell application "Finder"
				repeat with oneItem in theItems
					set itemPath to quoted form of POSIX path of oneItem
					do shell script ("cp " & itemPath & " '" & installPath & "'")
				end repeat
			end tell
		on error errmsg
			--should anything go wrong let the user know
			display dialog errmsg
		end try
	end timeout
end open


There will be limited scripting in Missing Sync, but it should be 
enough to do a number of things, like get a list of handhelds, switch 
current handhelds (which you'll need to do if you have more than one 
and you want to install for a particular one), get a list of cards to 
install (which you can append to the install path to get the card 
install path), change to internet sharing, etc.
