Hello,

playing around with mac integration and org (using org-mac-protocol) I wrote mac address-book integration. It is slightly based on org-mac-message. It is the first ever lisp and/or applescript I ever wrote, so … but it works.

New hyperlink: [[address:BC70B043-0144-4AC1-9FFA-9D33F04C8B8A:ABPerson][Name]], which, when clicked will open the entry in the address book. It works for both persons as companies.

Adding a link to org is done using org-remember (and quicksilver).

thanks,

Alex

Hi Alexander,

this is awesome, thank you very much.

I would like to integrate this into org-mac-message.el - I don't
think it makes much sense to put this into a separate file.

This would, however, mean that the code becomes part of Emacs,
and that I need you to sign the papers with the FSF.  Would you
be willing to do this?

Christopher, could I ask you to verify this code and work together
with Alexander on integrating it (if Alexander agrees, of course).

Thanks.

- Carsten

Quite so.

My inclination is to integrate it into the almost complete
org-mac-protocol. It seems to be working robustly on my system, but
could use some better error handling at the AppleScript level in case
things do go wrong.

http://github.com/claviclaws/org-mac-protocol

That way there is one consistent method of sending data to orgmode from
OS X applications.

I'll take a closer look in the next couple of days.

Sounds good to me. I have been looking at other apps that I use as well, and I would like to integrate netnewswire as well, it's applescript is fine. Colloquy is the last app I regularly use, but I have not yet found out how to script that.

thanks,
alex
