@satikusala I’m looking forward to being able to write this kind of code, I.e. AppleScript, one day, or at least edit it.
AppleScript, which I read somewhere grew out of HyperCard, seems to frustrate most coding purists. It sure can be ugly and verbose, full of little gotchas. But it’s forgiving, useful for those of us who don’t really know what we are doing but want to “roll our own” extensions to capabilities of an app or pass data between apps, without hiring an expert or going to coding class. I marvel at its ability to access both Tinderbox code and the command line in the same script. Because it can be so useful I suspect it’s going to be around for a while despite years of predictions of its demise. So learning a little is not a complete waste of time.
I’ve updated the script above with a little more error-checking, for imported notes that are not in the container of old notes.
