Hook Script to add a new note to Tinderbox

Inter-app workflows
21

The Hook to New script was missing from Hookmark’s Tinderbox 11 integration. Last night we added it, so anyone with a valid license will get the update for free. Or you can copy the Tinderbox 10 script manually from Hookmark’s Tinderbox 10 integration script to its Tinderbox 11 script (if Tinderbox 11 is not showing up, you can hit the “+” button at the bottom of the Script Editor window.

(Part of the Updates fees goes to paying a dev to keep Hookmark’s many integration scripts up to date. All this puts us in touch with many app devs, which is a lot of fun.)

(PS I’m the head of CogSci Apps Corp. that makes Hookmark.)

Thanks for the quick turnaround @lucb . I can’t seem to perform updates from within the app. Perhaps ought to post directly to your tech support, but bringing it up in case others have the same issue.

Update - I downloaded and installed v.6.11.1 dmg directly from your website, and that appears to also have fixed the update issue!

Hi Luc,

A suggestion for the integration scripts for Tinderbox - based on posts by much more knowledgeable people here than I: if you set the AppleScript to

tell application id “Cere”

instead of

tell application “Tinderbox 11”

Hookmark’s Tinderbox integration doesn’t break when the version number bumps. The application ID seems much more continuous than the application file name.
I get that this might be very useful for backstage/testing people, but for mere users like I, it would remove a point of friction every few years.

Thanks, @DaveM . That’ll work. Sometimes developers change the bundle ID which can require that we update the script.

thanks for letting us know. I’ve passed this onto a developer here. (On my side it works fine, maybe there was a glitch with the server at the time).

Glad it’s working now. For the record, a dev of ours @ CogSci Apps Corp. wrote to me saying:

I just tried the in-app update and it seems to be working fine.

Perhaps it is a network issue. Or if he updated from an old version which points to MS app center, that would not work.

I suspect that was the issue. I.e., Microsoft end-of-lifed App Center, so we switched in late 2024 to Google Firebase for delivering software updates.
