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?
This may be simpler than you want, but if I need a "URL" that is a
file location, I generally want it inside an anchor <a href=, etc.
This is what I get dragging in the apache gif.
<a href="file://localhost/Users/my_name/Sites/images/apache_pb.gif"></a>
I start an anchor (Option-CTL-a)* and then just drag the file I want
into the Href box in the dialog box. Works for me as a drag and drop.
Another method would be necessary if you want to do it all from the
keybaord.
*your key strokes may vary. from the menu, it's Markup->Inline->Anchor
Best wishes,
