Hi all
I found in the action script directory of drafts only 1 script (by the actual developer) that actually works…
https://actions.getdrafts.com/a/1CY
problem is it saves as txt file where I want it to save it as .md
Looking the script it seems quite simple
x-devonthink://createText?title=[[title]]&location=''&text=[[body]]
I tried modifying it with no success
x-devonthink://createMarkdown?title=[[title]]&location=''&text=[[body]]
as it creates a weird webloc fie
can anyone help me modify the script or refer to some documentation on this?
thx
Z

Thx @cgrunenberg !
while this is cool news, I think AppleScript will be Mac only while the x-devonthink://
method will work both on the Mac and iOS (and thus with both DT and DTTG). Unless im wrong?
in any case is markdown just not supported in the x-devonthink://
method? Or is my syntax wrong?
thx so much again!

The x-devonthink:// commands are only intended for clipping websites so far (e.g. via bookmarklets or browser extensions).

@cgrunenberg , thx so much again for the prompt response
so for moving stuff from drafts to devonthink/devonthinkTOGO (on iOS) what method shall I use (the covers both?)
drafts is text only (if that matters, I assume its simpler?)
Also: the drafts dev own methods using this
x-devonthink://createText?title=[[title]]&location=''&text=[[body]]
works well and is very reliable but its kind a pain to manually convert the text output to .md each time
best and stay safe guys!

On the Mac I would definitely recommend a script like the linked one.
@zeltak this works on the Mac:
x-devonthink://createMarkdown?text=[[draft]]&tags=[[dTags]]&title=[[ffn]]
There were some script steps before this URL step to define the dTags and ffn template tags.

wow @apoc527 that’s so helpful, thx so much for this!
just in case you want it or someone else needs it I modified the script by a bit to work with the title and I know use this:
x-devonthink://createMarkdown?text=[[draft]]&tags=[[dTags]]&title=[[title]]
thx again!
