I use Marked and ByWord and QuickSilver. What's the best way to implement Marked with Byword for quick keystroke access?

Brett - nice - your script also works with older versions of Scrivener (I'm on 1.54) if you add .rtfd to watch_types and drop the "/Files/Docs/" suffix from watch_folder

Little bit of tinkering got it working with Scrivener.

WHICH IS VERY VERY EXCITING!!!!!!!!!!

Brett, your Scrivener solution is exactly what I've been trying to write for myself. Only difference is that you were way faster. Thanks.

For the less tech-prone of us...I use Marked with nvAlt -- I open the plaintext files in Marked and when I'm updating the nvAlt files, the Marked preview seems to update automatically already. What does this do differently?

remark

This watches whatever is the current note and previews it. You don't have to open any files, and when you switch notes, so does the preview (more like the built in preview).

Hi, I made this to make it easier to launch the scrivwatch.rb with Alfred
Cheers

Great, thanks Simon! I built a couple of wrappers for the watchers this morning that could be launched and quit via finder/Quicksilver/LaunchBar/Alfred, I'll publish those once I pretty them up a little. The Scrivener one is proving to be more difficult, it doesn't want to handle dropped files, but I'll get it :).

Hi Brett, That you for this beautiful nerdery. Could you possibly tell me how I can put a permanent, self updating calendar on my desktop.? Do you know of any app? Any script?
Thanks a million

Claude

Just a calendar, or one with your appointments on it? There are a couple of apps to go either way, or you can use icalbuddy on the command line to output various event lists and todo items to GeekTool...

Nothing fancy, just so I don't have to start iCal to see what date is next Thursday!!!

Thanks a zil

Check out Dateline. You can also use the UNIX command calendar and output it to GeekTool. You can even highlight the current day if you're feeling Nerdy. Dateline is a pretty good way to see upcoming dates easily, though.

Thanks a lot, Brett.

I whipped up bash versions of the NV and MarsEdit scripts: git.io/markedwatcher. I might add more scripts to the gist later, but probably not. Having to manually run a background process and wait multiple seconds for changes to show up just feels too hacky.

BTW, sudo opensnoop -n process_name works as well.
