Hi, I just purchased Hookmark pro and I am very happy 😎  
I have already put it at work with Devonthink Pro which, for my use case, it’s the perfect combo.  
I also tried to use it within Scrivener but no luck, I always get “No linkable item found in Scrivener”.  
I have tried to add x-scrivener-item into Hookmark script configuration but it still doesn’t work.  
I checked in settings - privacy - accessibility and Hookmark is enabled.  
I also checked settings - privacy - automation - Hookmark and I can see many apps but not Scrivener.  
Is there something I can do to fix this?  
Thank you

Welcome to Hookmark forum, @Tech_in_IT .

What’s your system language?

Could you please go to settings - privacy - automation - Hookmark, and make sure the checkbox for System Event is enabled:

@Tech_in_IT , we have updated our script server, version 371. Could you please go to Hookmark Settings window -\>Update-\>Check Now to update your script and see if it resolves the issue? You might need restart your Hookmark.

Thank you

script version seems to be fine. I closed and reopened Hookmark and tried to create a hook in Scriverer but it doesn’t work, still no linkable item ☹

PS: Thank you for your help

Thank you, @Tech_in_IT .

Have you tried restarting Hookmark?

If it still does not work, could you please select an entry in Scrivener, copy the script below and Paste it into /Applications/Utilities/Script Editor, then click on run button. Please post the output of the result pane here.

Did you possibly override Hookmark’s Scrivener script. If so, please hit the “-” button at bottom left, and update Hookmark again.

Great, thank you so much, I just reverted the script (minus sign) and updated. Now it’s working fine 🙂

Anyway, hoping this can help you or others, here’s the output of the script:

Hookmark now works with Scrivener in all languages . (It used to work only in English.)
