Hi. I really like this app and would like to use it. However, the new Automator 2.1 (246) does not work the same way. Can you update it for us?

Did your flatmate figure it out? I too am still trying to automate it. It works great manually, but that isn't the point. Hope you have some good news for us 10.5.2'ers out there!

When I run this manually in Automator, it runs perfect, sending me a summary of 2 calendars. When run via the plugin, I get an e.mail, but the body is empty. It's like Automator never got time to populate the body of the message. This is in 10.5.2. Anyone else have this issue?

Same problem, won't work in 10.5.2 – creates the email empty bodied, and the same happens if, instead of an email you ask it to speak out the events: it does so in automator, fails in the real world.
any ideas why? any good applescript substitute? my flatmate is getting there, will post if he does manage.

Neat little tool – thanks!

When I built this as described it works but only returns events in the first calendar in my list of 6 and only for the Monday of the week. Where might my error be?

Beautiful! When I get bills in the mail, I pop the due date and amounts into iCal. This is a great way to get automatic email reminders for the week's due bills. Thanks for sharing!

This is great. Just what I needed. The only issue with this is that the result is not sorted by date, it is sorted by calendar in iCal. Do you think there is a way to sort by date?

I tried this,but it did not pick up my recurring events (say weekly meetings). Anyway to do this?

I love the idea, and was eager to get it working. The problem I am running in to is that I can't figure out how to have it remind me of All Day Events that have a Start or End date outside of the Next Week. Any ideas?

Looks like Automator won't include recurring events (?).

I tested this and it worked if done as above, but it skips recurring events. Any suggestions how to get those added?

I can't fine “Find Calendars in iCal” in automator. Am I looking at this wrong?

I know how you feel, Victor. My lovely wife, Robin, is the same way. I use my .Mac account to sync all our calendars. Seems to work for her.
