When running in Google Chrome, this script can be passed
But obsidian can’t pass, I don’t know why
It doesn’t work in Craft either
tell application "Hook"
set note_bookmark to (bookmark from active window)
set fileName to name of note_bookmark
end tell
Can someone help me with that
we’ll have a look. A commonality is the scripts involve x-callback-url.
What about this problem？
We can confirm there’s an issue with automation for x-callback-url based apps. We’ll have a fix.
Yes. we understand the cause of the issue and how to solve it. The solution won’t be in Hook 3.6 unfortunately.
we currently plan to address in 3.7 or 3.8. No specific dates for those. Next up is 3.6.1 which will fine tune the menu bar icon status indicator.
Please add the number of hook link in the menu bar. There are Xbar script for that
It is because Hook communicates with Obsidian and Craft using x-callback-url, which is asynchronous. while we are trying to find a solution, could you please try using Hook’s global shortcuts for copy link or copy markdown link to get the bookmark?
set the clipboard to ""
delay 0.2
tell application "System Events" to tell process "Hook"
keystroke "m" using {control down, shift down, command down}
delay 0.1
repeat 10 times -- poll clipboard for ~2.5 seconds. Sometimes set x to the clipboard throws exception
try
set theBookmark to the clipboard
if theBookmark is not equal to "" then
exit repeat
end if
end try
delay 0.1
end repeat
end tell
get theBookmark
Welcome to the Hook Productivity Forum , @amornj. And thanks for your feature request. This feature will likely be in Hook 3.6.1.
set fileName to "tbd"
set hook_link_url to "tbd"
tell application "Hook"
set note_bookmark to (bookmark from active window)
set fileName to name of note_bookmark
set hook_link_url to address of note_bookmark
end tell
release 3.7 still doesn’t work for me
@meta, we needed to document the AppleScript.
bookmark by request handle v : Get a bookmark for the specified asynchronous request handle (ID) that was previously returned by Hook’s “bookmark from active window” command. This is typically useful for apps controlled by x-callback-url.
**bookmark by request handle text **: request handle
→ bookmark : a bookmark
bookmark from active window v : Get a bookmark for the currently selected or currently open item of the active window of the active app. However, if Hook cannot immediately return such a bookmark for the item (e.g., in case of apps with which Hook uses x-callback-url), then you’ll receive an asynchronous request handle (ID) for this item. In the latter case, you can subsequently apply the request handle (ID) to Hook’s “bookmark by request handle” command to get the bookmark you need.
bookmark from active window
→ bookmark or text : a bookmark or a request handle
tell application "Obsidian"
activate
end tell
tell application "Hook"
delay 1
set currentBookmark to bookmark from active window
if class of currentBookmark is text then
repeat 50 times
try
set b to bookmark by request handle currentBookmark
if b is not missing value then
return b
end if
end try
delay 0.1
end repeat
else if class of currentBookmark is bookmark then
get currentBookmark
end if
end tell
The next release of Hook will contain the updated AppleScript dictionary documentation.
This now works with x-callback-url apps, as of the prior beta, carried into 3.8 official release.
Running the above script often fails
Is there any examples of using x-callback-URL instead of this script below @LucB
tell application "Hook"
set note_bookmark to (bookmark from active window)
set fileName to name of note_bookmark
set hook_link_url to address of note_bookmark
end tell
Agenda app, Drafts app, Obsidian app and Bear app all use x-callback-url.
