I need to revisit this...
I need to revisit this post with a sort-of head scratcher: since B29 came out, I’ve been trying this demo you posted. couldn’t get it to work.
invoke QS “.” [type something here] tab and “app” tab and [filename to append to] enter BEEP! nothing happens to the text file
i’d been creating my todo file in textedit. the .rtf didn’t take it, so I renamed to .txt still no dice. so based on your screen shot, and your most recent post (mentioned your todos open in bbedit), i opened the text file in SubEthaEdit (my favorite code editor) and saced it from w/in SubEthaEdit.
tried your process again and it works now!
so not sure why that happens the way it does, but for all those out there possibly trying it in textedit as I had, there’s your fix.
