Hi list,
Hope you had a nice 1st of July, or a nice 4th of July
(and wishing you a nice 14th of July, chhres amies)
I have a question on scripting Palm Desktop (Chris?) - more specifically, on
text size limits when creating a memo via a script.
I wrote a very, very simple script, adapting stuff from Chris Page (btw,
thanks for your great scripts and continuing work with Palm)
I know how to deal with categories, title. I am also planning to set the
'body' of the memo to the clipboard, and here I get confused.
I know Palm allows up to uh, is it 32k? - record sizes - but how should I
script a routine to
1. verify that the clipboard is equal or less to that limit - and possibly
display a warning? or
2. very ambitious, automatically chunk the text into several Palm memos of
the max size and numbered 'title01,' 'title02' and so forth?
The rationale for my creating this script: somehow sync the notes I store on
the desktop (iOrganize, stickies, Tinderbox) with my Palm Tungsten. AFIK,
only iData (ex-Casady & Greene) would allow me to do that, but I don't want
another data app. As for Palm Desktop itself, manually creating a new memo,
selecting main and 2ndary categories, and pasting the contents every time I
want to save some bit of information is, well, tedious.
With the script, I will copy something to the clipboard, paste it into a new
palm memo with the right Palm categories, and paste it into iOrganize (using
services) into the same category.
Uff, long-winded, sorry. But thanks in advance for any help!
