If NVAlt is open and I click on a different topic to test this, then I go back to my regular document, in this case TaskPaper, and trigger the link in Hook to that specific NVAlt document, it now works in the way you expected. This script you provided fixes it half way. OK, testing this now.Īlmost but not quite there. I knew NVAlt triggered the preference panel with a modifier and a comma but it did not occur to me that Hook also did this. Brett’s website confirms this.ĪDDED: Oh wait a minute … you were speaking of doing this in the Hook Preferences. I just had it check for updates and it says it is up to date as the current version is the latest version. Storage selection is Rich Text files and is not single database (allow encryption) if this helps. Nothing in the Editing tab (or in any other tab area) says anything about using scripts. Just General, Notes, Editing, Fonts & Colors. The only problem with the suggestion that I have is that … I can’t see any script tab or script area in NVAlt preferences - so I can’t apply the solution that you are suggesting. I’m surprised I haven’t run into this myself, but I usually keep nvALT open in the background. The problem seems to be a bug in nvALT, it doesn’t “remember” to handle URLs which are opened before it finishes launching, so when you open “nvalt://document-identifer” it doesn’t open the note unless the application is already open. They are stored in the default location user/library/application support/notational velocity. My Notational Velocity preferences are to save my NVAlt documents as individual rich text files. As I am already doing that in NVAlt, it is too bad that I will have to think of yet another, different, way of doing things. I will start to explore how Hook can create a new note taking page at some point. If this worked, I could make all my stop notes a part of a new NVAlt page and link it to all my project pieces. I would love it if this worked as I use NVAlt all the time. It won’t open the page you linked to in NVAlt, but the last page you had selected before you closed NVAlt.

Now try the Hook link on the other document. Then, select a different NVAlt page, then close/quit NVAlt. To test this, first select a specific NVAlt page as I have just described. When I am on a specific NVAlt topic and I collect the Link and paste the link into a different document that I am working on, TaskPaper, Nisus, whatever, clicking that NVAlt link should take me back to the NVAlt page I was on when I made the link. It is my base level “catch all” of well, everything that I am thinking of. I use NVAlt to collect my ideas all the time. It is not behaving in a way that I am able to find useful however. Of course I tested NVAlt with Hook right away. I see that this thread never took off, or perhaps it became a Marked 2 discussion? Of course I am new to Hook.
