The Applescript below tries to copy a Safari URL to an OO outline. It works fine if the outline is already open. It fails if the outline is not already open. After the failure the outline has been opened, but the URL hasn’t been copied.
Is this a timing problem, or something else? I am a complete novice at Applescript. My vague memory is that the failure is new with OS X 10.14
The exact error is < error “Can’t get row named “Inbox” of missing value.” number -1728 from « class OOrw» “Inbox” of missing value>
The script is
– clip active safari url as a child of refRowName in OO document outlineName
property refRowName : “Inbox”
property outlineName : “2019-04 Europe”
property filePath : “Users:mrtn:OmniPresence:Omni Notebooks:”
tell application “Safari”
tell current tab of window 1 to set {theURL, theTitle} to get {URL, name}
end tell
tell application “OmniOutliner”
set Doc to open filePath & outlineName & ".ooutline"
tell Doc
set refRow to row named refRowName
set newChild to make new row at refRow
tell newChild
set topic to theTitle
set topic cell's text's style's attribute "link"'s value to theURL
end tell
end tell
end tell
