I'm new to Evernote development. I did notice that the AppleScript dictionary for Evernote appears to missing the 'stack' object. How do we access 'stacks' using AppleScript?

Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

The stack is assigned to the notebook object. By accessing a notebook, you should be able to know the associated stack.

What I'm trying to do is find the stacks and access the notebooks within the stack and I'm also trying to assign a notebook to a stack within AppleScript. I don't see a 'stack' object nor do I see a 'stack' attribute/property for a notebook object.

Maybe you can help me.

1) Given a notebook, how do I determine what stack it is in using AppleScript?
2) Given a stack, how do I get all the notebooks within that stack using AppleScript?
3) Given a notebook, how do I add it to a stack using AppleScript?

Thank you for your time.

UPDATE: Within AppleScript I traversed all my notebooks. The stacks do not show up in my list. I also tried to determine if any given notebook is in a stack without success.

According to the documentation I have, a "notebook" object can be contained with the "application" object, contains "note" objects and has the following properties/attributes:

name
type
default

I see no way to determine the stack from this information.

Sorry about the confusion, the stack is associated to the notebook in our Cloud API but isn't accessible using AppleScript. If you need to access the stacks, you might want to take a look at our full API.

Hi Julien. The good news is I'm not crazy.

When will EN add this functionality to AppleScript? Any idea of a time frame?

Thank you

Has there been any progress on adding the Stack attribute for notebooks within AppleScript? It would be very helpful for a number of projects I'm working on at the moment. Organizing large numbers of notebooks into stacks manually is painful.

Thanks!
