App support: Mellel (Requires closing Mellel's Palette window)

thanks for bringing up this issue. 10.14.5 was released on 2019-05-13. Mellel was only reported to us as working well with Hook well after that. I wonder if that might be related. Hook was qualified with a bunch of apps in 10.14.5; and I don’t know why it would make a difference, but that’s something that catches my eye. Mellel’s not an app we ourselves have tested but will.

That looks more like a Mellel issue. we’ll have a look (though others may know.)

One of us here can reproduce this issue on macOS 10.15.x using Mellel v. 4. That will help.

Dear All,
Using Mellel ver 4.2.9r4 under OSX Mojave 10.14.6

A bit knotty approach for laughs.
If you use Copy Markdown Link, we need to exercise ingenuity little bit.
After pasting Markdown Link in Mellel document,

#1[triple click] then
#2 right click (or『control+click』) to evoke
(can be used to bring up menus)
#3 choose[service]:Menu > Open URL > We can open willable URL.

Thx and regards, WAKAMATSU

Thanks for asking, Rob. I have put that question to our devs. Our post-dev QA process has not systematically treated them differently. Apparently it is not what is causing the Mellel issue, but we do need to include that in our testing.

Hook 1.6 , released a few minutes ago, includes a core change of Copy Link RTF handling which according to our tests solves the issue of Hook links pasted into Mellel docs. (One might notice a Hook RTF-related change attributed with gratitude to the devs of Nisus in those release notes. but fyi not related to this.)

the Copy Link issue is not related to the “No linkable item found in” issue which some people are experiencing with Hook. I updated our ‘linkable apps’ page on 27th to reflect the issue.

Dear LucB,
Thanks a lot.
Hook 1.6 with Mellel4.2.9r4, Copy Link behavior is confirmed, now.

Yours, WAKAMATSU

Just enter my comment for User Forum, as you see.

Thanks, Wakamatsu.

It doesn’t work for me – at least, not within Mellel. I can link to a Mellel file in Finder, but I get nothing other than ‘no linkable items found’ if I’m in Mellel. That’s the case whether I try to hook from my Mellel document to something else, or copy a link and invoke Hook to paste it.

Dear tonywatkins、
Could you please add 2 scripts in Hook Preference > Scripts > [ Refer to 2png files ]
AddScript-1
AddScript-2
Thx and regards, WAKAMATSU

Thanks! I’d forgotten that I might need to do that (I’ve only been using Hook for a few days).

However, it still doesn’t work. I don’t think I have any typos in the scripts.

I can confirm that Hook is working for me with both Mellel 4 and 5 documents (and without adding any extra scripts for Mellel). I can link to and from Mellel documents and paste links into Mellel documents.

This is odd, then. It’s working for pubay wihout adding scripts; it works for Wakamatsu with scripts; it doesn’t work for me at all.

I imagine that makes the problem tricky to hunt down and resolve.

My colleague tried Mellel 5 but did not see the AppleScript library. And the script does not work on her machine. But she says the default Hook scripts works fine for her.

What’s your macOS version? And Hook version?

Dear LucB,
How are you getting on?
My OS ver.10.14.6 Mojave,
Hook v.1.7.1(3399).
I do not know default Hook script for Mellel.
Those 2 pngs are excerpt from ver. Mellel 4, which I had in Rereference Scripts. I just add them for my clarification.
I do not care the script for Mellel 5 that should eliminate or as it is.
Please let me know how to get on top line.
Yours, WAKAMATSU

Dear LucB,

Let me do it over.
I would like to make sure that methodize.
Without Scripts, I can not clickable URL Link’s behaviour to use.
(Which I posted with pngs in. )
Establish and maintain procedures for Hook URL linking.

  1. Start-up : Hook.app and Application for any purpose.
  2. Open your Application (fit for the purpose), something designed to get.
    [EG]: Open Safari.app > App Support Melle (Hook Forum, here)
  3. [Shift+cmd+SPC](go on Hook.app), then [cmd+C](to capture).
  4. Move to your Mellel 5. [cmd+V] transplanted into desired Page.
  5. Click on the indicated URL in your Mellel 5 page.
  6. You will get URL page or mail item in a little while.
    Under my circumstance, Mac OS Mojave with Hool.app ver.1.7.1(3399).
    Kindest regards, WAKAMATSU
