"local" urls

[rhaynes74]

Good day - taskopen doesn't seem to want to open local URLs like x-devonthink-item://7D425B20-EB31-4589-ACBA-A71D4F22A99B on the mac, the os does open them (spotlight ), anyway to configure the types of attachments that can be opened?

[jschlatow]

That is probably only a matter of configuration.

Can you check whether you can open these URLs on the command line with open x-devonthink-item://...? If this is the case, make sure, you can try adding the following line to your ~/.taskopenrc file:

FILE_REGEX="\.|\/|~|:\/\/"

If this does not help, please post the output of taskopen -V so that I can have a look at your configuration.

Good day - followed the steps but no dice.  I did try with and without brackets in the local url in the annotation.  I did also confirm that

open x-devonthink-item://7D425B20-EB31-4589-ACBA-A71D4F22A99B

works from the command line.

Here is the output from taskopen -V:

Sorry, my inital suggestion for FILE_REGEX was incomplete.

Are your annotations only containing the bare local URLs or do you want a special format such as the [Name](URL) notation? In the former case, FILE_REGEX="\.|\/|~|.*:\/\/" should do the trick. For the latter, you can add a custom regex:

FILE_REGEX="\.|\/|~"
CUSTOM4_REGEX='\[.*\]\((.*:\/\/.*)\)'
CUSTOM4_CMD="open $LAST_MATCH"

[rhaynes74]

Hi - might be good to allow the name format.  I will give it a try.  Thanks for your suggestion - by the way do you know of the taskn package is still being used? Or is there a replacement with similar functionality?

Do you mean tasknote? I believe it's functionality is fully covered by taskopen.

Unfortunately, most of the functionality of taskopen is obfuscated by a bizarre layer of command line arguments and configuration options. It can do magic but you need to study it first. I have some ideas for a rewrite to make all this much more usable but have only just started with the documentation in the wiki. Stay tuned.

Nonetheless, let me know what functionality you would like to see in taskopen and I will help you with the configuration.

[rhaynes74]

Hi - many thanks for your response.  Yes, I do mean tasknote.  Here is what I would like to have ( :-) )

i) ability to add files to tasks - preferably from the command line:

taskopen n addfile file*.pdf

ii) ability to add markdown notes to tasks

iii) ability to add/link files to notes

iv) ability to add/link notes to files

(I think about iii) and iv) as being different!

v) ability to open task list/notes/ annotations/ files from a statically generated website (likely this is provided by some package now but I haven’t had a chance to look into it).

What taskopen can do is link objects such as files, notes and urls to tasks. Thus, linking files to notes or vice versa is out of scope. Have you already looked at the manpage, particularly the examples section?

[rhaynes74]

Yes I have, thanks!  These are more wish list items!

Okay, i) and ii) are already possible with taskopen (please let me know if you need assistance with the configuration) whereas iii) and iv) seem out of scope if I understand them correctly. For v) I am not sure how taskopen might help. Can you provide more details?

[rhaynes74]

Thanks for the quick reply. iii) and iv) does appear to be out of the current scope, but I would like to make sure that any such solution would be compatible with files and notes added to tasks via taskopen. Likewise with v).
