Update 1.1.4, 8/5/05: It appears that some other default app (or the OS itself -
it seems to be /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemUIServer.app)
now provide a service exactly called "Open URL". Installing
OpenService.service helpfully adds my hotkey (cmd-slash) to call this base
service, which isn't nearly as cool as this one. Sadly, the easiest fix
is to edit
OpenService.service/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/Services/Menu.strings
and change "OpenURL" = "Open URL"; to something else like
"OpenURL" = "Open URL osxtreme";
I've repackaged this as v1.1.4, with some additional diagnostic console
output on startup so you can see what version you are running.
OpenService is a MacOSX (cocoa) Service Application. It should be available
from all OSX applications in their application menu under Services->OpenURL.
It will launch highlighted URLs (including local directory paths) via the OSX
Service framework, using mouse/menu or a keyboard shortcut (command-/).
Note it also works with local files (open in Finder), applications or documents
(opens the application, or the document in its default application), and
even ssh:// or telnet:// (hands them off to Terminal.app, under 10.2).
(The default web browser can be changed in System Preferences, I'm still
looking for how to set that for terminals)
Please note that any readme.txt or license.txt in the Software package
take precendence over the information above.
Feedback?
