Q: Logging Hours Worked
Hello,
I'm new to this, but I would like to learn to write an applescript that would carry out a very specific work flow.
Ideally this is what would happen.
run the script
dialog opens asking me to "Check In" or "Check Out"
If I choose "Check In"
fill a specified "Numbers" table cell with the current date and time.
(each time the script runs filling in the next row of the spread sheet).
&
Launch my application to begin work (Avid Media Composer).
If I choose "Check Out"
fill a specified "Numbers" table cell with the current date and time.
(the next column from the previous "Check In").
&
Create a copy(zip archive) of my Avid project folder.
If anyone knows of a tutorial or something that I could study that would be great.
Just looking for a lead...
I can launch my app and create the archive in automator, but was hoping to log my hours somehow as well.
thanks for the help,
Aaron
