Thanks for this, Gordon! I decided to give your modified script its own page in the Code Library, so anyone interested in it should go there to grab the complete code.

Here’s the applescript to use instead of the last tell to send to omnifocus:

tell front document of application “OmniFocus”
make new inbox task with properties {name:(NoteTitle), note:url_list}
end tell

basically, yes. I’m using your script and it seems work fine for what it was intended, but it only translates open tabs. if i try to ‘open all tabs’ within safari it crashes or will only get 30 at a time. It also dumps the URL’s all into one default folder. If you change your default folder, it’s not much of an issue.
I guess in a perfect world I would want all my Safari bookmarks brought into one notebook as separate notes, as I would have to go back and tag and title them anyway.
I’m really stumped that this isn’t more of an issue with Evernote, when I contacted them they literally said they have to ‘concentrate on other dev right now’
Thanks for the quick response =

Just to clarify… you want a script to archive all of your Safari bookmarks into Evernote?

Justin
Is there any way one could run the script for all open bookmarks. I have over 2,000 bookmarks and the only scripts I can find are for front window Safari.
Any suggestions on how to get so many bookmarks easily into Safari ?

[...] something similar (I’m in my own little world a lot). Justin over at Veritrope has a similar script (minus the HTML), amongst a large collection of really useful scripts and services. You [...]

Glad you are enjoying it!

Right now, I am personally focusing on developing for the Mac… but part of what I do in my consulting practice is to connect my clients to all sorts of creative professionals (including Win/Linux programmers).

Either way, you can use the Contact Form to get in touch and discuss your project!

This is a GREAT idea. Thanks for writing it and even thinking to do so!

Do you do work on any other platforms? Windows? Linux? etc?

I’d like to suggest you as a possible vendor where I work, (out sourced programming etc). If you are interested please email me.
Thanks,

I’ll certainly look at this for any future revisions for the script.

Thanks Tim!

I think notebook selection and tagging would be great!! Maybe to a folder titled “bookmarks”…

Thanks,
