AppleScript can be used to change properties of TaskInsight documents, such as various Document Settings, task properties and task views. Tasks can be created and modified with AppleScript. Sample AppleScript scripts for TaskInsight can be downloaded from the Imaja TaskInsight web site.
To see the AppleScript dictionary describing TaskInsight's objects and properties, open TaskInsight with the AppleScript Editor application. One way to do this is to drag and drop the TaskInsight application icon to the AppleScript Editor application icon in the Finder or the Dock. TaskInsight is normally installed into your Applications directory. Another way to open the dictionary with Open Dictionary in the File menu in the AppleScript Editor application.
A number of demonstration and utility AppleScript scripts are available at the TaskInsight web site at http://www.imaja.com/taskinsight.
The following AppleScript sets various properties of the frontmost TaskInsight document.
tell application "TaskInsight"
with timeout of 60 * 60 seconds
tell document 1
set grid line width to 1
set show dates in timeline to true
set show today line to true
set show grid lines to true
set list view row padding to 1
set timeline left margin to 250
set timeline right margin to 250
set timeline vertical spacing to 10
set intercell horizontal spacing to 5

end tell
end timeout
end tell
