This script will save the selection in Safari to a Yojimbo note and
place the URL in the comment field of the note. The note name will
be the name of the web page. It is modified from a previous posting
to this list by J. Stewart. To use this, save it to your /Users/
your_name/Library/Scripts/Applications/Safari folder then invoke the
script when you have text selected in Safari.

--This doesn't always work as expected:

whitespace and linebreaks
-- --(doesn't happen in TextEdit service or pasting to TextEdit)
-- --Also, sometimes the title is blank even when it the document
has a title

I am likely converting from EagleFiler to Yojimbo, but I need to
confirm that I can do the following somehow.
I need to capture the source URL of a website when I copy it,
whether highlighting some text on a page or capturing a web
archive. (I need to copy quite a bit of data from the Internet,
then be able to document the source months later.)
I searched the archives and found that it might be possible through
a script. But, the poster asked for clarification, then the thread
stopped. Could anyone give me a clear answer to this, as well as an
idea how to do it if its through scripting. I have not yet done
anything with scripts.
Thanks,
whardy
