Wow you guys have given me some interesting ideas to consider. Basically my
goal was to adapt a script I have already wrote that takes an image and
uploads it to my S3 account, then it figures out the scaled down dimensions
to fit it nicely on my blog, and builds a Wordpress formatted html img tag
with all the attributes filled and puts that in my clipboard ready for
pasting anywhere. It works great and I don't mind using it, I just thought
if I could call that from a drag-n-drop event like in Textmate and have it
print the tag right in the document, I could save my self a step or two.
Maybe I could adapt some of the afore mentioned applescript to pass the tag
to the front document of BBEdit and insert it where the cursor is. Im
excited and can't wait to play around with it. I also like the idea of
launching the script from within BBEdit and and have a finder file selection
box to browser for a file. Not as quick drag-n-drop but a solution none the
less. Any other thoughts?
Thanks,
Don.
