Huge performance improvement

Hi!

First, thanks a lot for this workflow!

When you begin to have many tasks in Tyme2, the workflow starts to load tasks for ~2-3 seconds. I've tried to improve the AppleScript used to list the tasks, and ended up making a new implementation using JXA. I don't have the time for a PR, so I'm just dropping the code here for anyone who want an instant loading of tasks!

var query = "{query}".toLowerCase();

var tyme = Application('Tyme2');

var xml = "<?xml version='1.0'?><items>"

if ("stop".includes(query)) {
	xml += "<item arg='stop' uid='stop' autocomplete='stop' active='YES'><title>Stop</title><subtitle>Stop running task</subtitle></item>"
}

var allProjectNames = tyme.projects.name();
var allTasksNames = tyme.projects.tasks.name();

nbProjects = allProjectNames.length;
for (var i = 0; i < nbProjects; i++) {
	
	nbTasks = allTasksNames[i].length
	tasksOfThisProject = allTasksNames[i];
	for (var j = 0; j < tasksOfThisProject.length; j++) {
		projectName = allProjectNames[i];
		taskName = tasksOfThisProject[j];
		if (projectName.toLowerCase().includes(query) || taskName.toLowerCase().includes(query)) {
			xml += "<item arg='" + projectName + "|_|" + taskName + "' uid='" + projectName + ": " + taskName + "' autocomplete='" + projectName + ": " + taskName + "'><title>" + projectName + ": " + taskName + "</title></item>";
		}
	}

}


xml += "</items>"

Just replace current AS code with this JXA code (in Script Filter block), and change language to osascript (JS).

Hope someone will find this useful! 😉

Thanks for sharing! Will try to merge your code somewhere this week.
