One of the things that iData doesn't have is an automatic save which
means that when I shut down my Mac and go away, I return to find
that my Mac hasn't shut down because it is waiting for me to save my
iData files.
iData is AppleScriptable and I have tried to create a script to go
into my shutdown folder in the system folder, but not knowing
Applescript very well, I quit the Finder instead of iData. Obviously
my approach to syntax needs improving.
The iData AppleScript commands are Quit and Save:
quit: Quit iData
quit
[saving yes/no/ask] -- Specifies whether or not to
save currently open documents
and
save: Save an object
save reference -- The datafile to save - default is current datafile
Can anyone help me with this? Your advice may also help me understand
how to apply the correct syntax for other scripts I might want to
run, so I can figure out things for myself in the future.
Any help would be most appreciated
Kind regards
Oz
