Bulk adding items to Wunderlist using wunderline on Ubuntu MATE
September 06, 2018 [Tech]If you use Wunderlist and want to be able to bulk-add tasks from a text file, first install and set up wunderline.
Now, to be able to right-click a text file containing one task per line on Ubuntu MATE, create a file called "wunderlist-bulk-add" in ~/.config/caja/scripts/ and make it executable. Paste the code below into that file.
(Note: it's possible that this would work in GNOME if you replaced "caja" with "nautius" in that path - let me know in the comments.)
#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -o pipefail
function nonblank()
{
grep -v -e '^[[:space:]]*$' "$@"
}
for F in "$@"; do
{
COUNT=$(nonblank "$F" | wc -l | awk '{print $1}')
if [ "$COUNT" = "" ]; then
{
zenity --info --no-wrap --text="File $F does not exist"
}
else
{
zenity --question --no-wrap \
--text="Add $COUNT items from $F to Wunderlist?"
ANSWER=$?
if [ "$ANSWER" = "0" ]; then
{
nonblank "$F" | \
wunderline add --stdin | \
zenity --progress --text "Adding $COUNT items to Wunderlist"
SUCCEEDED=$?
if [ "$SUCCEEDED" = "0" ]; then
{
zenity --info --no-wrap --text "Added $COUNT items."
}
else
{
zenity --error --no-wrap \
--text "Failed to add some or all of these items."

}; fi
}; done
