The following is the old NSApplescript, which works to create array of mailbox paths.
NSAppleScript *theScript = [[[NSAppleScript alloc]initWithSource:@"tell application \"Mail\"\n set localMailboxes to every mailbox\n end tell\n"]autorelease]; NSDictionary *theError; NSAppleEventDescriptor *theScriptDescriptor = [theScript executeAndReturnError: &theError]; if (theScriptDescriptor == nil) { } else { NSString *descriptorString; int i, u = [theScriptDescriptor numberOfItems]; for (i = 1; i<=u; i++) { descriptorString = [[[theScriptDescriptor descriptorAtIndex:i]paramDescriptorForKeyword:(AEKeyword)'seld']stringValue]; if (descriptorString == NULL) { } else { [mailboxes_File addObject:descriptorString]; } } }
I am trying to substitute Scripting Bridge code with some difficulty. Iterating through containers, see the following, is slow by comparison to the foregoing NSApplescript. The container hierarchy involved goes down 6 levels.
-(MailMailbox *)returnTheContainer:(MailMailbox *)incoming_Container { MailMailbox *returnedContainer = [incoming_Container container]; return returnedContainer; }
SBElementArray *allMailboxes = [mailApp mailboxes]; int countOfAllMailboxes = [allMailboxes count]; int i; for (i = 0; i < countOfAllMailboxes; i++) {
NSString *mailboxName = [[allMailboxes objectAtIndex:i]name]; MailMailbox *returnedContainer = [[allMailboxes objectAtIndex:i]container];
BOOL allContainersFound = NO; NSMutableString *returnedPathName = [NSMutableString string]; [returnedPathName appendString:mailboxName]; if ([returnedContainer name] == NULL) { allContainersFound = YES; } else { [returnedPathName insertString:@"/" atIndex:0]; [returnedPathName insertString:[returnedContainer name] atIndex:0]; }
while (allContainersFound == NO) { returnedContainer = [self returnTheContainer:(MailMailbox *)returnedContainer]; if ([returnedContainer name] == NULL) { allContainersFound = YES; } else { NSString *returnedName = [returnedContainer name]; [returnedPathName insertString:@"/" atIndex:0]; [returnedPathName insertString:returnedName atIndex:0]; } } [mailboxes_File addObject:returnedPathName]; }
I have looked at the SBOject class and tried the the following with 'seld', which returns null (I could be using it wrong also): - (SBObject *) propertyWithCode:(AEKeyword)code;
Anyone have any experience in returning the full path directly from the MailMailbox or a way of speeding this up?
Best regards,
