Select Mail.app sender for iCal.app invitations in Snow Leopard

Monday, February 15th, 2010

See my earlier post on this geared for Leopard.

This tar file adds the functionality to iCal.app for Snow Leopard.
To use this, follow these instructions:

Quit iCal!

Backup iCal.app!

    mkdir ~/Desktop/LeopardiCalBackup
    sudo rsync -Eav --delete /Applications/iCal.app ~/Desktop/SnowLeopardiCalBackup
    sudo hdiutil create -format UDRO -srcfolder ~/Desktop/SnowLeopardiCalBackup -volname SnowLeopardiCalBackup ~/Desktop/SnowLeopardiCalBackup.dmg
    sudo rm -rf ~/Desktop/SnowLeopardiCalBackup/

Copy the dmg file somewhere safe.

Extract the modified AppleScript files:

(assumes iCal.app is in /Applications and SnowLeopardiCalSelectSender-20100215.tar is in ~/Desktop)

    cd /Applications
    sudo tar xvf ~/Desktop/SnowLeopardiCalSelectSender-20100215.tar

Run iCal.app, send an invitation and reply to one, test out the ability to select the sender for the Mail.app outgoing email.
