 |
|
Hey all,
Here's a small script to convert file paths to TiddlyWiki links.
It has been requested (sort of) on the TiddlyWiki mailing list.
The script is meant to be called via the SendTo context menu, but it can also be run manually with parameters; the first parameter is the file path, the second parameter is an optional link title.
The code has not been extensively tested, and you will have to manually create the SendTo shortcut (also see MSKB) - but it should do the job.
Also, be aware that this will overwrite the clipboard contents! (I couldn't be bothered coming up with a satisfying solution for that... )
I've uploaded the source code as well as the compiled EXE.
Here's the source code again: | Code: | /*
TiddlyWikifier v1.0
by FND
Converts Windows file paths to TiddlyWiki PrettyLinks
*/
/*
ToDo:
- backup clipboard
- automatically add a shortcut to the SendTo menu
*/
/*
Changelog
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
# v1.0 (2007-06-08)
* initial release
*/
/*
********** Settings, Variable Declarations **********
*/
#SingleInstance Force
#NoEnv
OnExit, quit
programName = TiddlyWikifier
programVersion = 1.0
programFullName = %programName% v%programVersion%
programAuthor = FND
filePath =
title =
/*
********** Auto-Execute Section **********
*/
; backup clipboard contents
;clipboardBak := ClipboardAll ; DEBUG: disabled, as it complicates script termination
; process command line parameters
GoSub, getParams
; get title (optional)
If(title = "")
{
InputBox, title, %programFullName%, Please enter a title for your link.`n(Press cancel to not use a custom title.)
,,,,,,,, %filePath%
If(ErrorLevel = 1)
title =
}
; convert file path
StringReplace, filePath, filePath, \, /, All ; convert slashes to Unix format
filePath = file:///%filePath% ; add file protocol
; construct PrettyLink
If(title = "")
tiddlyLink = [[%filePath%]]
Else
tiddlyLink = [[%title%|%filePath%]]
; copy PrettyLink to clipboard
Clipboard := tiddlyLink
; end of auto-execute section
Return
/*
********** Subroutines **********
*/
; process command line parameters
getParams:
If 0 > 0
{
filePath = %1%
if(title != "")
title = %2%
}
Return
; terminate script
quit:
; restore clipboard contents
;Clipboard := clipboardBak ; DEBUG: disabled; see above
; terminate script
ExitApp
Return |

Great script. Thank you.
FYI, I believe you have to compile the script for it to work in the Send To Menu. |

So it worked after all?
It's been a while since I've used this (I'm on Linux now), so I'm having a hard time remembering how it worked.
