Hi,
I see that IA Writer has url scheme.
1. Does this mean it would be possible to create a bundle that
integrates IA Writer as an editor for MailMate?
2. Has anyone done this?
Thanks
Rob

I haven’t written a bundle for it, but if I control-click in the
composer window of anything that I’ve written in IA Writer, the
contextual menu that comes up offers me the chance to Share to
MailMate and then after saying yes to a dialog, a new MailMate
composer window comes up with the IA Writer composition as the body.
The composer window seems to come up as “Plain Text” by default,
but upon selection of Markdown, all appears as it should. If you
select only a portion of the text in your IA Writer composer window,
then that is all that will appear in the MailMate composer window.
Drafts.app can also be used to compose communication and then Share to
MailMate (or Messages or Notes or Reminders or Omnifocus…).
Best,
Ed
Thanks for that Ed,
The display of markdown in IA Writer is definitely interesting. It’s
all about that focus mode, I think.
I see that the share option is available, because MailMate loads that
Share option to operating system, however that is one way communication.
What I was looking for was the ability create a reply to an email, send
it to IA Writer, edit and then close the window causing it to save in
MailMate. This is how it works with BBEdit, for example.
When looking at the BBEdit bundle, the bin script calls the command line
BBEdit executable. However, IA Writer uses URL schemes to communicate
and I suspect the call-back feature here should be at play. I suspect
there is a way to script the opening such URLs from the command line,
though this is beyond my Ken at the moment.
