Jimmbo · 10-20-2013, 06:48 PM

I have an HTML file I frequently update. Each time, I use Calibre to convert the file into an epub.

I want to create an applescript that will make Calibre add the file (and, for extra points, start the conversion into an epub, as well....though I'll settle for just adding it).

I've started with this:
tell application "calibre" to open "Users/MyName/Documents/Doc.html"

....but it doesn't work (I'm assuming this is due to Calibre's non-standard way of opening files).

Can anyone help?
