Today's maintenance release of DEVONthink for Mac, version 4.2.2, lets you create powerful AI-driven searches and add tags more reliably via scripting. If you are using JavaScript for your automations, you can now use JS files. In AI, Gemini and Nano Banana get updates, and Claude 3 Haiku retires. We also have a few fixes, including better handling of OPML email attachments. #devonthink #update #ai #gemini #nanobanana #javascript #jxa devontechnologies.com/apps/dev

Notes for February 19-25

This week was a mixed bag all around, with some yak shaving, a refreshing amount of coding (including low-level MCU development) and quite a bit of writing.(...)

Well, that escalated quickly.

Paging @cstross because he'll fully understand the degree of gibbering madness that lies just ahead.

Have you ever built something and then thought “why did I do that”?

I built a workflow in Alfred to let me search through a list of spells (in csv format) from a fantasy roguelike I play. It then pulls the data and displays the spell details on the screen for you after you select a spell.

So happy but also wondering why as I don’t actually need this in the game :-)

A powerful yet hidden #macOS feature is the ability to script the system and apps via JavaScript, officially called macOS JavaScript for Automation (#JXA). Essentially it's #AppleScript written in #JavaScript.

Lots of info here: github.com/JXA-Cookbook/JXA-Co

e.g. to get the current track name in the Music app via the CLI:

osascript -l JavaScript -e 'Application("Music").currentTrack.name()'
