Vivre avec les séries télévisées
« Starsky et Hutch “meublaient jadis les week-ends désoeuvrés de notre adolescence ; ” Six Feet Under ” ou ” The Wire ” absorbent nos soirées et accaparent l’attention que nous réservions jusqu’alors au cinéma. Deux âges, entre lesquels une révolution s’est produite, sans que nous en ayons pris la mesure.

Qu’apporte de bien nouveau le numéro que Labyrinthe consacre au sujet ? Une manière subtile de détourner le regard de l’écran pour le diriger vers les spectateurs, autrement dit vers soi-même. » [suite...]

So, Pages crashed after a long day of work two days ago – I, of course, had forgotten to make regular backups of my work.
Since it is not a function of Pages yet (should be integrated in Lion, apparently), I have tried to find an applescript to autosave any Pages document since the crash – for I’m not ready to write with Microsoft Word.
I’m really satisfied with this one and thought I would share. It is based on the one that can be found here that I had to modify because it wouldn’t work on my machine (Powerbook G4, under Leopard).
— applescript
property minutesBetweenSaves : 10
on idle
tell application “System Events” to set theAppIsRunning to (name of processes) contains “Pages”
if theAppIsRunning = true then
tell application “Pages”
repeat with aDoc in every document
if path of aDoc exists then
if modified of aDoc then save aDoc
end if
end repeat
end tell
end if
return minutesBetweenSaves * 60
end idle
—end of the applescript
It totally fulfills what I was expecting: it doesn’t save the document when not modified, it doesn’t (unnecessarily) save new documents (i.e.: untitled), it doesn’t launch Pages, it saves every 10min.
I saved the applescript as an application, and made it automatically start at login – so that I shouldn’t worry of regularly saving my work now.
At least I hope.
