Create bunch to launch multiple Things3 windows

[joshdoyle]

I want to create a bunch that launches multiple Things3 windows for different lists (Inbox, Today, Upcoming, Anytime). This is what I have so far. The bunch doesn't produce anything after "things:///show?id=inbox". I know the CreateThingsWindow.scpt works properly as I've tested it from another bunch.

The `Things3^` line seems unnecessary, as the URL handler should force Things to the front anyway. I don't have a copy of Things to test with, so I couldn't verify the script working anyway. Didn't they used to have a free trial? Will have to check on that. In the meantime, just for completeness, can I see the CreateThingsWindow.scpt script?

Thanks Brett. Here is the CreateThingsWindow.scpt.

Yeah, I can't see any reason that wouldn't work. Impossible for me to test, though, without a Things license, and I'm not dropping $50 right now… do you have debug logging enabled (under the help menu)? Do you see any errors at the point where it should be launching the new windows?
