[QUOTE="voiceofra, post: 362119, member: 28040"] Just flexing my Applescript muscles here.... [URL="http://foxmarks.com"]Foxmarks[/URL] allows Firefox users to synchronize their bookmarks to and from a remote location (because the bookmarks are stored on Foxmarks’ own servers, if they go belly up, you’d better have a backup plan for the backup). Safari has an Applescript equivalent called [URL="http://www.nadamac.de/safari/safaridepot/"]SafariDepot[/URL]. The nice thing about it is that [I]YOU[/I] determine where to store them without having to depend on a 3rd party’s server. Omniweb may have something equally useful, but I don’t know. I didn’t bother checking. Instead, I wrote my own set of Applescripts to do the uploading and downloading. [B]Uploader[/B] Copy the following code in to Script Editor and save it as a script in [I]~/Library/Scripts/Applications/Omniweb[/I]. [CODE]set ftpuser to “username” --replace username with your own ftp username set ftpPwd to “password” --replace password with your own ftp password set ftpLocation to “ftp://ftp.whatever.wherever.com/” --change to your ftp server and don’t forget the ending slash!! --Upload do shell script “curl -u ” & ftpuser & “:” & ftpPwd & ” -T ~/Library/Application\\ Support/OmniWeb\\ 5/Bookmarks.html ” & ftpLocation do shell script “curl -u ” & ftpuser & “:” & ftpPwd & ” -T ~/Library/Application\\ Support/OmniWeb\\ 5/Favorites.html ” & ftpLocation display dialog “Bookmarks & Favorites uploaded” buttons {”OK”} default button 1 giving up after 3 --comment this whole line if you don’t need confirmation [/code] [B]Downloader[/B] Copy the following code in to Script Editor and save it as a script in [I]~/Library/Scripts/Applications/Omniweb[/I]. In order to see the new/synchronized bookmarks/favorites, Omniweb will need to be restarted. I wrote the script to do this automatically, with a prompt to stop or continue. [CODE]set ftpuser to “username” [I]--replace username with your own ftp username[/I] set ftpPwd to “password” [I]--replace password with your own ftp password[/I] set ftpLocation to “ftp://ftp.whatever.wherever.com/” --don’t forget the ending slash!! display dialog “Omniweb must quit before downloading Bookmakrs & Favorites” buttons {”Stop! Do it later!”, “Okay, do it now.”} default button 2 if button returned of the result = “Stop! Do it later!” then stop else tell application “OmniWeb” to quit delay 3 do shell script “curl -u ” & ftpuser & “:” & ftpPwd & ” ” & ftpLocation & “/Favorites.html -o ~/Library/Application\\ Support/OmniWeb\\ 5/Favorites.html” do shell script “curl -u ” & ftpuser & “:” & ftpPwd & ” ” & ftpLocation & “/Bookmarks.html -o ~/Library/Application\\ Support/OmniWeb\\ 5/Bookmarks.html” tell application “OmniWeb” to activate end if[/CODE] Use it, modify it, enjoy it, whatever.
