A number of people on the Kinkless GTD forums have asked about running KGTD’s synchronization script from within other scripts.

Due to the design of the script, if you run it from another application, various terrible things will happen. Even if you get it to run, it will start the slowest, most painful sync imaginable.

This script avoids that by simply using Apple’s UI scripting to click the Sync toolbar button. It requires that you have previous sync’d your Kinkless GTD file and also that you have the Sync script as a toolbar button in that file and that it not be renamed (it has to be called “Sync”).

Feel free to re-use this code in other scripts. It’s pretty straightforward.
