adds .webloc support

[kristofer]

Adds .webloc support for dropping a web url from browser into a .stapled file. Launching works as well without mods.

It allows a user to include web bookmarks into Stapler files, along with the local files.

I guess I should add, I was unable to get the weblog stuff to work on 13.6 Ventura. But I see your example in the readme has a weblog item in it.

Thanks for this!

I'd love it if you could remove unrelated files from this commit, to make it easier for me to merge.

• .pbxproj
• IDEWorkspaceChecks.plist
• .xcbkptlist
• .xcuserstate
• etc.

The goal would be to keep it as minimal as possible! Thanks @kristofer

[gingerbeardman]

Also, sorry this will need to be rebased as I've just implemented some changes to how things are added and launched—sorry!

[gingerbeardman]

Please make changes to StaplerApp.swift based on the current source.

And please remove all other files that are unrelated to the .webloc change — thanks!

My webloc item was dragged from Safari > Finder > Stapler

• finally seeing this, will do. just give me a day or few. thanks! (ps and sorry, i thought i had reduced it to just the one file)

[gingerbeardman]

No rush at all! I think this change will also get us the ability to drag and drop email addresses in the same way #36

[kristofer]

Glad you asked me to clean this up.

So the .webloc I'm saving in the StaplerDoc is merely a file (containing the actual target URL) in the temporary directory of the app. SO, when that gets deleted, the weblog file is gone. Bad.

I think there are two options.

• make AliasItem handle other things than just file-urls - like web urls and email addresses and what-not. the alias would have a content-type field, for each species (MIME types?)
• make a place where .webloc (and other non-file-urls) get copied when created so they aren't lost when the TMP dir changes. (yuck!)

hmm.

[kristofer]

Since the alias just gets JSON'd when saved, seems like adding typing to them makes the most sense.

[gingerbeardman]

See #18 for an explanation of filesystem bookmarks and an example of the data they store.

I wonder if we can use webloc:// (or either http:// or https://) and mailto:// URLs?

I'll give it some thought. I might even test a hand-crafted bookmark.

[kristofer]

lemme untangle this mess

[kristofer]

okay, I think I've cleaned it all up, along with pulling in all your latest commits. @gingerbeardman

[gingerbeardman]

Will take a look ASAP!
