Hi,
as you might know, OmniGraffle tables have a bug that makes the position of an item on the z-axis unpredictable. Here is a short gif to show what I mean:
I actually need a consistent order that’s why I tried writing a script that is supposed to move selected table cells to the top of the table group. It doesn’t do anything though. I suppose the reason is that items within a table can’t be arranged. Can anybody give me a hint or propose a different solution? Here is not not-working code:
tell application id "OGfl"
set allGroups to groups of canvas of front window
set cntGroups to 0 -- just for debugging
repeat with currentGroup in allGroups -- go through all groups
set cntGroups to cntGroups + 1
set cntItems to 0
set itemsInGroup to graphics of currentGroup
repeat with currentItem in itemsInGroup -- go through all items
set cntItems to cntItems + 1
log "Group " & cntGroups & ", Item " & cntItems
log currentItem
-- try to move items to the front that have a certain user data key value pair
try
set arrange to value of user data item "arrange" of currentItem
log arrange
if arrange is equal to "toFront" then
move currentItem to beginning of graphics of currentGroup
-- Error: error number -1728 from graphic id 177962 of canvas id 1 of document "test.graffle"
end if
end try
end repeat
end repeat
end tell
Cheers!
