Craig,
If you drag and drop a text file on to an open bbedit doc it will insert the
contents at the cursor.
But if you hold the cmd key it will insert and select a path.
You could then run a script to encode it.
Here is an example that works for me but I haven’t tested much.
Install it into BBEdits Scripts folder if want to give it a try.
Make File URI.applescript
—————————————
tell application "BBEdit"
tell window 1
set _path to selection as text
set _cmd to "ruby -rURI -e "
try
set _uri to do shell script _cmd & quoted form of
("puts URI.join( \"file:///\", URI.escape(\"" & _path & "\".chomp) )")
on error
set _uri to _path
end try
set selection to _uri
end tell
end tell
——————————————
It will change this (the dropped path):
/Users/chris/Desktop/untitled text 10.txt
Into this:
file:///Users/chris/Desktop/untitled%20text%2010.txt
Food for thought:
BBEdit has something called Attachment Scripts that allow you to invoke a
script on an event.
Page 343 from the user manual ( found in the Help menu ).
I don’t think they have an attachment point for dropped text files, they
recently added one for dropped image files.
But you could have an attachment script run a text filter and convert all the
paths in the doc into file URIs when you save or something.
Best of luck with your workflow,
Chris(topher)?
