Ya know, when you start doing something and you feel you have hit your limits of understanding. That's where I am. Thanks for you help and patience though (I will use the heck out of the MindJet script though).

White flag.

Struggling as a relative newbie, I keep getting "The action “Run Shell Script” encountered an error." I think I have changed the path correctly... as "~/myname/Dropbox/Notes/".. where Notes is my NVAlt folder...

I got the MindJet script working and that is a treat...

If you're not comfortable debugging on the command line, try this:

<ol>
<li>Open the Service in Automator (double click it)</li>
<li>Find the action "Get specified text" on the left and drag it in before the Run Shell Script action</li>
<li>Paste some text you're trying to run the Service on into it</li>
<li>Run the action and then open the "Results" tab under the Run Shell Script action and see if there are any more helpful error messages there</li>
</ol>

Hey Brett, I have Get Specified Text completed; Conversion from Rich Text to Text completed... Then an error "No wiki links found in text (1)"

So then the obvious question... are there wiki links in the text? There should be either a camel-cased WikiLink or a double bracket [[link text]] type link. If there already are, open an issue on GitHub and let me know what app you're copying from and show me some text that's not working.

Thanks Brett! I think this could be handy. But there's a problem right now: nvALT is activated, but the notes window is not displayed (I can't get this to work for any URL query). Any thoughts?

Make sure you have the latest version, I improved on exactly that yesterday after a comment from Lri. If you still have problems, let me know here.

Hmm. I believe I have the latest version --- 2.2b (94)? Also, there seems to be a small glitch: if a note's title begins with a number, a new note is always created.

No, I mean the latest version of the script.

Please file an issue regarding the number problem, I'll have to look into it.
