Scripting with multiple windows

TaskPaper
1

Currently I use the following code pattern to expand KeyboardMaestro macros:

function TaskPaperContextScript(editor, options) {
    var sel = editor.selection;
    ...
}
Application("TaskPaper").documents[0].evaluate({
    script: TaskPaperContextScript.toString()
});

That works like a charm for single document window. How should I modify the approach for working with two windows opened for single document?

Thank you an advance.

Sorry I don’t have a proper API for that right now… right now it will just select the frontmost window for the given document. What specifically are you trying to do?

It looks like it selects not the frontmost window but the first opened one. I just type a macro into the second (frontmost) window, but the editor.selection evaluates from the context of first (background) window.

Opps you are correct … I’m fixing this now for the next preview release. Also I’m adding a class method OutlineEditor.getOutlineEditorsForOutline(outline) which will return all outlineEditors associated with the provided outline.

Great, now it works correctly, thank you!
