I just got a new mac and I like the calendar program, iCal.
I also would like to get into programming on the mac. I come from more
of a linux background. I just installed the Developer Tools.
I was wondering if it is possible to create a few additional features
to the To-Do List functions/features in iCal.
If so, can you give me a general overview of the tools and languages I
would need to use in order to do this.
Thanks |

Unless iCal has a documented plug-in system somewhere, this is likely to
be extremely difficult or impossible. Without a plugin system, you
can't easily go around modifying existing applications like that.
If iCal _does_ have a documented plug-in architecture, then the answers
to your questions about languages and such can likely be found in that
documentation.

iCal uses the .ics file format, which is plaintext, so you can munge
the files yourself. If you want to do something like grab a TV
schedule from a website and add all of the Simpson's reruns to your
calendar, you can do it. Make it a cron job so you never ever miss
another episode.
The .ics files are in ~/Library/Calendars
Python, Perl, Ruby, etc. would be a good languages for doing that sort
of thing. And the program will also be usable on Linux.
If you want something more integrated, you will want to learn
ObjectiveC. Open up iCal in Interface Builder (or Xcode) and see what
you can do.

See
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.apple.com/applescript/ical/" target="_blank">http://www.apple.com/applescript/ical/</a>
to see how to replace the 'Mail on alarm' script with any AppleScript
you want, such as one to beep once a minute for 5 minutes.

Sounds great. I tried it. Got it to work once. (I think.) Now it
doesn't work any more. Sends mail anyway.

FIgured it out: After setting, either close the iCal window or hide
iCal. Then, at the appointed time, the script runs. But if you QUIT
iCal, mail is sent at the appointed time. how's that for intuitive?
