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

OSX 10.5.5

Oh, are you referring to a Hook link WITHIN a Mellel document, like this?

Screenshot 2020-07-04 19.23.40

That’s not the issue for me. I don’t want such links in most of my documents; I want to be able to hook between the documents themselves and the reference sources. I can do it in Finder, which is fine. It would be nice to be able to do it directly in Mellel.

Dear tonywatkins,
I apologize what I drop a suggestion no use for your wanted to do.
All I can tell you with certainty right now is,
Please ask to provide someone with useful information.
I hope everything will be OK for you.
Sincerely yours, WAKAMATSU

Dear tonywatkins,

Please disclose what kind of document you want to do.
Just to make a link from that document to Mellel or invert ?

You will be able to bound for another way.

I try to link with another possibility using differewnt applications.
I use same behavour as below, I can get calling fot each note.
Take a look new png.

I can’t explain the inconsistency re some users saying Mellel works for them, and others can’t get it work. I have asked my colleague to verify whether it works for her. (One note says yes but I want to double check). Rob Trew above said it worked for him. I don’t recall it working for me. If we can’t make progress, we will need to consider it as unsupported. Really, they need to have an API which we didn’t find.

Here’s a link on requesting linking automation from devs of other apps: Contacting Developers of Other Apps and Information for Developers – Hookmark . In our experience it’s quite easy to add, but not all devs are into automation, amazingly. We will take that step with them too. We’re currently trying to get 1.8 out asap.

Dear LucB,
Talking of strangeness, why in cases of tonywatkins , can not operate??
According to the circumstances ??
Please make sure, in order to examine this further, we will be satisfied.
I look forward to get and point out the controversial issue.

Melle5-Hook_bis

I’ve raised this with the Mellel developers.

Since I use Trickster too, it’s only one extra step to open the trickster menu and then invoke Hook on the entry for the Mellel document I’m working on, so it’s no big deal. Just a little frustrating.

Thanks very much for the replies, and thanks for your suggestions, Wakamatsu.

Dear tonywatkins,
I was happy to do it.
I do not know about Trickstar.app at all nor their behaviour.
Hook is as good as it gets, facilitate my collection of knowledges.
( I am not to change the subject.)
Though it may not be my place to say this as I am not directly involved,
immediate connection with the Mellel developers who could figure out the solution for you.
I connect myself with Mellel 5.0, invited to help localization in Japanese, since 18th June.
They will try their ingenuity at solving, I believe.
I trust you will stay on top of things !!
Kindest regards, WAKAMASTU
