Holy Crap!

so THATS how you create your own actions in QS! I swear, i’ve been looking for that howto forever. (really, the QS documentation is it’s biggest weakness. I realize, though, that it’s god-like powers probably defy description, though.)

armed with this tidbit as a start, I can now hook directly to the Backpack API:

install this script, as described in the parent post, into ~/Library/Application Support/Quicksilver/Actions/ : (i’ve linked to the txt, ‘cause commenting messes up the formatting) http://www.ryan.net/misc/backpack/applescript.txt

…and install this shell script in someplace of your choice (and make sure the applescript has the proper path) (again, i’ve linked to the txt, ‘cause commenting messes up the formatting) http://www.ryan.net/misc/backpack/shellscript.txt

…and blam!

…i can type into quicksilver and put to-do items on my list, using the API, and not the roundabout “mail it onto backpack” quicksilver methods posted various places already.

woo!
