CaseLeaf

Handbook / The `anchors` command

The anchors command

Counsel wants the minutes of the meeting where each disputed clause was discussed, and the recording is three hours long.

Lists the passages tied to a moment in a recording. When a meeting is recorded and marks are cued to it, this is how you get that list back out: which paragraph, which mark, which second, all without opening the document. Use it to build an index of a recording, or to check that the cues survived a round trip through another application.

How you run it

caseleaf anchors report.pdf

What each part means

In full, every part it will take:

caseleaf anchors <file>

The document, and nothing else.

Each anchor names a recording, the mark it is tied to, and the second it would play from.

What comes back

Asked of a short sample document, it answers as below. The sample has eight sheets, a highlight and a note left by a reviewer, a web link, a small table, two pictures and one form field already filled in.

{
  "anchors" : [

  ]
}

The same thing from AppleScript

Everything above can be asked for from a script instead. There is one AppleScript command, perform: on names the document, and options takes the rest exactly as you would type it.

tell application "CaseLeaf"
    perform "anchors" on "/path/to/report.pdf"
end tell
