would be great if there is a way to copy text , images by highlighting content (on web site or pdf page) to paste the content as a new note on UpNote
Thanks for the great suggestion, that would require a new extension but should be straightforward if UpNote has the necessary mechanism for receivin text to make a new note. It’s just a case of me (or someone!) sitting down and making it. UpNote is on my big todo list of extensions.
thanks, I can see that your todo list is really quite long
So I’ve had a look at UpNote.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t have a Services or AppleScript interface. Nor does it expose any commands to Shortcuts. It does have a url scheme upnote:
which might allow new note creation, but I can’t find any documentaton for it.
So we have to resort to nasty UI scripting with AppleScript:
#popclip
name: UpNote
icon: U
before: copy
applescript: |
-- activate UpNote app
tell application "UpNote"
activate
end tell
-- poke it
tell application "System Events"
tell process "UpNote"
keystroke "n" using command down -- new note
repeat 100 times -- wait for window to actually appear
if frontmost is true and number of windows is greater than 0 then
keystroke "v" using command down -- paste
exit repeat
end if
delay 0.05
end repeat
end tell
end tell
(The above block is an extension snippet - select it to install the extension with PopClip)
I managed to find some info about the upnote://x-callback-url
scheme by looking at the source code to its Chrome web clipper. So here is an improved version:
#popclip - upnote v2
name: UpNote
icon: U
capture html: true
javascript: |
const article = {
html: popclip.input.html,
title: popclip.context.browserTitle,
url: popclip.context.browserUrl
}
const encoded = encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify(article))
popclip.openUrl('upnote://x-callback-url/clipper?article=' + encoded)
(The above block is an extension snippet - select it to install the extension with PopClip)
Let me know if it works well for you.
