What does your org-capture template look like? Did you try it explicitly
(i.e. not through the extension, just an ordinary capture)?

FWIW, it works fine for me.

Whatever you are missing, I'm missing too. In my case, it wants to call
xdg-open which basically calls the desktop environment's underlying
"open" (e.g. gnome-open, exo-open, etc.), so I think I need to configure
that underlying open properly.  But I have no idea what happens on OSX.
