Script: Open OPML outlines in FoldingText 2

[complexpoint]

A script to Open OPML outlines in FoldingText

• FT2ImportOPML.scptd

• FT2ImportOPML.applescript

• OPML2FT.py

• FT2ImportOPML.zip

Installation

This is an applescript which uses a Python helper script to convert from OPML to FoldingText Markdown.

It therefore needs:

1. To be saved as a Compiled Script Bundle .scptd
   (not as .applescript or flat .scpt)
2. To have the Python script OPML2FT.py copied into the script bundle’s Contents/Resources folder. For example as: FT2ImportOPML.scptd/Contents/Resources/OPML2FT.py

To open an .scptd bundle, ctrl-click it, and choose ‘Show Package Contents’

(Note that if you accidentally do a Save As in a format other than .scptd, the bundle format and the Python script will be lost.

You will then need to save again as .scptd, and manually place a copy of OPML2FT.py in FT2ImportOPML.scptd/Contents/Resources/)

Use

• Run the script from something like KeyBoard Maestro or FastScripts
• Choose an OPML file from the File Open dialog which appears.
