Well, you can "pipe" output of one action to another. Like I can upload a file to ImageShack, pipe the URL which is the output into TinyURL, and then send that to Twitter or set it as my Pidgin status all by "piping" output to actions. All you have to do is use an action that returns output as some kind of Do object.
It's actually quite cool. -Josh On Wed, Mar 25, 2009 at 8:04 AM, Dave Bauer <[email protected]> wrote: > > > On Tue, Mar 24, 2009 at 5:21 PM, Chris Szikszoy > <[email protected]>wrote: > >> On Tue, 2009-03-24 at 15:13 -0600, Joshua Gardner wrote: >> >> While not adding a terminal to Do, what about having the ability to >> capture the output from a command in the Selected Text buffer in Do? >> >> That's not such a bad idea.
