Is there an "easy" way to generate the file URL (the
file:///Users/... thing) and get it into my BBEdit document? I
currently drag & drop the document onto a web browser, copy the
resulting file URL from the location field, then paste the file URL
into my document. It would be nice if there were a simpler process,
perhaps a service (I'm still running 10.4) or a magic key
combination while dragging & dropping the file?
If you just mean from the Finder selection, then you could use this
AppleScript:
tell application "Finder"
set s to the selection
set u to URL of (item 1 of s)
set the clipboard to u
end tell
Run the script and then paste the URL.
You could automate it further by using a macro program (Keyboard
Maestro, obviously ;-) and attaching a hot key.
Enjoy
Peter.
