There are certainly graphic conversion commands in Apple Script. You can also use the "save as" directive and I believe in most applications there is a type argument that can be specified. I can look a bit further if you let me know source and destination and if I have a program that can handle

In the general settings there is a default calendar pull down. You can set the date by something like Status Meeting on July 19 @ 1300 I have not tried putting timezones at the end but that might work. Best wishes, Jonathan On Jul 5, 2014, at 3:46 PM, Littlefield, Tyler wrote: > Hello all

Yes, though a workflow might be better for that. Check out the Automator app built into every Mac to create workflows. If you get stuck using it, let us know; it is easy to use, but only once you know some tricks that are not apparent going in. On Jul 5, 2014, at 4:04 PM, Jessica D wrote: > Co

My first thought is a Workflow; add the New Calendar item to it, configure it, then just envelope the workflow to add your event. Alternatively, as I know you do some programming, you might want to investigate making an AppleScript for the job, to do everything at once. On Jul 5, 2014, at 3:46 P

calendar questions

Hello all: I had a couple questions: I'm adding a ton of events to one calendar and trying to make this quick. 1) Can I set the default calendar to add events to for a while? 2) Even though I choose the day, for whatever reason every time I add a new event I have to choose the exact day again. ca
