Hacking Yojimbo bookmarklets for flags

Friday, June 16th, 2006

screenshot12Yojimbo’s new boomarklets for archiving and bookmarking web pages are great. But you will have noticed that they don’t flag new items for your attention. A solution is not far away.

As Jim heIpfully pointed out in the comments to an earlier post on Yojimbo 1.2, you can add flags to new items by gently hacking the code of the javascript.

All you need to do is add &flagged=YES to the script’s parameter list:

  1. Open the bookmarks manager in your browser.
  2. Find the bookmarklets that came with Yojimbo 1.2, probably in your bookmarks bar or toolbar folder.
  3. In Safari, click once on the address field to select it and carefully type in the extra code.

I’ve highlighted in the following screenshots what works for me, (i) for the archive script:

And (ii) for the bookmark script:

AppleScripts for iCal Events and To Dos

Saturday, February 4th, 2006

icalA few days ago Darren posted two AppleScripts in the comments on the post about Zoodo.

I’ve amended them slightly as Daniel Jalkut suggests in the comments and packaged them up in a zip file called QSiCalScripts.zip.

They were originally posted in the Quicksilver forum (currently down), and are designed to be run by a Quicksilver trigger (although they don’t have to be). Darren has tweaked them for a few additional features. (Thanks!).

Dan Dickinson at Primary Vivid has an illustrated tutorial on how to set up a trigger in Quicksilver, as does Coelomic at WordWorks .

There are other ways to do this, of course, but I am hoping that they will appear in the new (Allegedly) Related Posts feature. We will see.iCal, AppleScript, To Do, events, Quicksilver, trigger, scripts
