Here's a PARTIAL workaround - it only works if the text on the clipboard
is actually plain text (tested in textedit using the make rich/make plain
command):
-- ==============
set vDate to (current date) as string
set vTitle to "Clipboard -" & vDate
set vClip to text of (the clipboard)
-- script will fail quietly without the following line
set vBody to (every character of vClip) as text
tell application "Palm Desktop"
create new memo with {title:vTitle, body:vBody}
end tell
-- ==============
If someone can come up with a universal way to get plain text from styled
(in 10.1.3) I'd REALLY appreciate the tip.
