I have to say that for me, at least, driving OSA through Ruby is 1000x nicer than Applescript, which always seems to make my head hurt in it's near consistent inconsistency. Once I can get access to the Notes fields of Topics, I can actually start using it as a productive drafting tool for documents. Scott—Interesting, and very nifty.

The build scripts that we use to build MindManager on the Macintosh are actually Ruby scripts. Those scripts use command line tools for XCode, (and some AppleScript... through osascript) to drive the various utilities that put the application together.

I will setup a blog for you (you pick the name) and you can write whatever you want (within reason) about working with MindManager and AppleScript. If this is something that you would be interested in, send me an email. Thanks, Michael Chris,

I'll try and speak up about the Mac "issues" wherever possible. It's nice to see the product is not a straight port over, and instead is a Mac application of the first order. Laurent - It's not RubyOSA that's at fault here. It's that MindManager's dictionary is missing pieces that I'd like to have access to. They're simply not exposed yet. RubyOSA rocks.

Could you tell me exactly what's not supported yet (if possible with a code snippet)? I didn't see anything relevant in our bug tracker / mailing list. Thanks in advance, Laurent (RubyOSA's author) Hey!

I am looking for independent voices on the Mindjet Labs (http://mindjetlabs.com) who can talk intelligently about how they are extending MindManager. The problem is that I am missing a Mac-centric voice. If you are interested in contributing, our growing community is hungry for real-world experience of extending MindManger on the Mac. Our developers know very well about the lack of notes support and your comment is heard. Michael S. Scherotter Solution Platform Product Manager Mindjet Corporation Chris,
