C1 8 and Applescript

I am just getting into writing Applescripts to automate workflow tasks in Capture One 7 & 8. Does anyone else do this extensively. I am hoping to find online resources and fellow travellers to consult with.

Cheers,
Cliff

  I found aKnowledge Base Article and a few other resources. What I need most is example code to learn to dissect.

  Hi Cliff,
  
  The link you posted to rap.net.au includes downloads for a few scripts already. Scripts by nature are just text files and you can see the code just by opening them in a plaintext editor or the applescript editor.
  
  The Capture Integration article also says right at the bottom to email them and they'll send the script your way.
  
  I know Josh Booth (the software support guy at CI) has a handful of scripts he put together for C1 v7 that could probably use some updating and if you ask him nicely he might send them your way to experiment with 😊

  I authored the above-linked Capture Integration article when I worked there a few years back. It's a great example of how easy scripts can be for some types of problem solving.
  
  On the other end of the spectrum, here is a suite of solutions for bulk crop editing in the CH version of C1.

  That solution is hundreds of line of code and took significantly longer than the two line solution for the self timer.
