Being a heavy user of “HoudahSpot” and “Find Any File” I am in the process of converting to GoToFile
https://www.soma-zone.com/GoToFile/
Now I need a PopClip extension, of course. It seems there is no URL scheme for this application, or am I missing something?

Looking in the Info.plist, the they have a ciple of services:
GoToFile: Search
GoToFile: Browse
GoToFile: Find Similar Items

Yes, Nick, I saw that, and it works in the Finder, for example. But if I’m looking at a webpage, highlighting, for example, an author, I would like to search my e-book library if I have books by this author.

It would seem we want:
#popclip
name: GoToFile
service name: "GoToFile: Search"
(The above block is an extension snippet — select it then click “Install Extension” in PopClip.)
But it doesn’t actually work for me. It activates GTF but nothing happens in the app
I have one here, simplest possible, working in principle:
#popclip
name: GoToFileSearch
interpreter: zsh
icon: square GTF
shell script: /Applications/GoToFile.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gtfs --project --query=$POPCLIP_TEXT
See this thread
https://forum.popclip.app/t/popclip-loading-icon/2888?u=clippopper
related to an issue with this approach.

I’m impressed, works great! Thanks a bunch
We should thank Robby Pählig, the author of GoToFile, who improved those executables (see GTF’s help file for details) a LOT in recent weeks and made them workable for use with PopClip.
