Re: [Orgmode] firefox urls

[Alan E. Davis]

Speaking for myself, I haven't been able to grok this item.  I think there are at least three code bits, and some other chunks in here.  A shell script, some elisp, and some _javascript_?  Also, I do not understand what is the bookmarklet.  I know what a bookmarklet is.  

I'm going to pass on this for now; however, perhaps it is not unwarranted to suggest that if this gets even to a contrib/ directory, some further explanation may be needed for some of us.  Me in particular.  

This could be EXTREMELY useful.  

I recently started using Zotero to store links and selected parts of pages, and I have been trying to reach out to a broader range of bibliography and reference and collection managers/utilities.  This can help me, as I begin to incorporate org-mode into my workstyle.  Saving selected text in a remember note to be stored with the URL, and the ability to save this to an org-mode file: that seems promising.

A clueless traveler,

Here is a small patch that fixes this problem:

Use
            (url (url-unhex-string (car splitparts)))

intead of:

            (url (car splitparts))

That will properly unhex all the url. Once I did that URLs are working
very well. it is an amazingly simple set of tools but it works
great. Now I can easily keep bookmarks and selected text in an org
file. It is already one of my can't-live-without pieces of software.

I'll wait for you to release the "new" version of the module.

Thanks again John.
