Scripting Bridge & Mail

• Peter Schmidt Scripting Bridge & Mail Feb 29 2008, 10:39
  Hello List,
  
  I'm trying to generate an Email via Apple Scripting Bridge. Everything works fine, but can't add an attachment to it. I had tryed several ways, but it doesn't work. Can anybody help me to get it work?
  
  Here ist a code snippet:
  
      AppleMailApplication *mail = [SBApplication applicationWithBundleIdentifier: @"com.apple.mail"];
      AppleMailOutgoingMessage *message = [[[mail classForScriptingClass: @"outgoing message"] alloc] init];
  
      NSDictionary *path = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject: @"Merkur:Users:schmidt:Desktop:image.tiff" forKey: @"file name"];
      [[mail outgoingMessages] addObject: message];
  
      [message setSubject: @"This is my subject";
      [message setContent: @"This ist my content";
      [message setVisible: YES];
  
    // This doesn't work, but I don't not why.
      AppleMailAttachment *attachment = [[[mail classForScriptingClass: @"attachment"] alloc] initWithProperties: path];
      [[[message content] attachments] addObject: attachment];
      // [attachment setFileName: @"Merkur:Users:schmidt:Desktop:DiscItemDisc.tiff"];
  
      [mail activate];
  
  Thanks so far,
  Peter

  The string used in this dictionary is not a valid file path. In this
  case it should be e.g.:
  
  @"/Users/schmidt/Desktop/image.tiff"
  
  or even better:
  
  [NSHomeDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Desktop/
  image.tiff"];

  The Path is not the problem (the hardcoding is only for testing). If
  I'm trying to set it path after addig the attachment, the error log
  says that the object isn't assigned to a container.

  The AttachToMail sample project in appscript's svn repository shows
  how to do this using objc-appscript.

  Peter, 
  
  Apple has just posted an example project of using SB with Mail
  
  http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/SBSendEmail/index.html
  
  It deals with attachments too.
  
  Pavel.

  Thank you very much! This es _exactly_ what I'm looking for. And I've
  found my Error:
  
  Wrong:
  NSDictionary *path = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject: @"/Users/
  schmidt/Desktop/Bild1.png" forKey: @"file name"];
  
  Right:
  NSDictionary *path = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject: @"/Users/
  schmidt/Desktop/Bild1.png" forKey: @"fileName"];
  
  Greetings,
  Peter
