Export to HTML Imagemap via Script Not Working Anymore

Automation OmniGraffle Automation
#1

I used to be able to use applescript to export to html files with a call:

set tp to "/foo/bar/test.html" save currentDocument in tp

It created an html file with an image map. Now it creates a Graffle file “test.html.graffle”.

If I add:

set tp to "/foo/bar/test.html" save currentDocument as "html" in tp

Now, it says:
OmniGraffle got an error: The document cannot be exported to the "HTML text" format.

I can do “png” and make a bunch of pngs. Is there an “Image Map” format? Any help would be appreciated.

#2 
save currentDocument as "html" in tp

could be changed to

save currentDocument as "com.omnigroup.omnigraffle.HTMLExport" in tp

that should do it.

Here’s a js for automation version that works:

var g = Application('OmniGraffle')

g.save(g.windows[0].documents[0], {
    as : "com.omnigroup.omnigraffle.HTMLExport",
    in : Path('/Users/example/Desktop/blah')
});

Export to a directory sandboxing is okay with, too.

We have a bug filed to make the shorter identifier work.

(Formatting became jankified during copy/paste, fixed thanks to thanks draft8!)

FWIW, the forum software can make things a little clearer with Github markdown fenced code blocks :- )

https://help.github.com/articles/creating-and-highlighting-code-blocks/

var g = Application('OmniGraffle');

g.save(g.windows[0].documents[0], {
    as: "com.omnigroup.omnigraffle.HTMLExport",
    in : Path('/Users/example/Desktop/blah')
});
