[PATCH] org-mac-link: Disable Evernote capture by default

[Aaron Jensen]

The two `shell-command-to-string` invocations during eval are
extremely slow. Users of Evernote should `org-mac-grab-Evernote-app-p`
and `org-mac-evernote-path` explicitly.

* contrib/lisp/org-mac-link.el (org-mac-grab-Evernote-app-p): Default
to nil
(org-mac-evernote-path): Default to nil and add a function of the same
name that will either use the variable or a shell invocation to mdfind
(org-mac-evernote-note-open): Use the function version of org-mac-evernote-path
(org-as-get-selected-evernote-notes): Use the function version of
org-mac-evernote-path

Hi all,

Any chance of getting this merged in? It's a pretty nasty one for mac users.

Thanks,

Aaron

Thanks for the patch.  Ideally someone that uses macOS would provide a
review.  Based on the history of the file, I've cc'd two people that may
be willing/able to do so.

Note that the plan is to move contrib/ to a separate repo [1], with the
eventual goal of each file being maintained elsewhere, in case you or
others are interested.

Sorry, but I’ve switched to Linux a couple years ago.

Best,
