* Setting Up org-protocol on Mac

[[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-protocol.html#orgheadline6][org-protocol.el – Mac OS X setup]] doesn't work anymore according to [[https://github.com/neil-smithline-elisp/EmacsClient.app/issues/3][Issue #3 ·

neil-smithline-elisp/EmacsClient.app]].

** Step 1. Create an application

- Launch the Script Editor application and create a new document

- Copy-and-paste the following code into the new document

- Change "/usr/local/bin/emacsclient" to path to =emacsclient= on your system

- Save it in /Application/ (not the default /Script/) File Format as

  =org-protocol.app=

#+BEGIN_SRC applescript

on open location this_URL

	do shell script "/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin-x86_64-10_14/emacsclient \"" & this_URL & "\""

	tell application "Emacs" to activate

end open location

#+END_SRC

** Step 2. Configure the application

- Navigate to the application (i.e., =org-protocol.app=) in the Finder, then

  right-click on it and select =Show Package Contents=. Now go into the

  =Contents= folder and open =Info.plist=

- Add the following code to the file, making sure to keep all existing

  key/string pairs intact:

#+BEGIN_SRC xml

  CFBundleURLTypes

  

    

      CFBundleURLName

      org-protocol handler

      CFBundleURLSchemes

      

        org-protocol

      

    

  

#+END_SRC

** Step 3. Test your results

See http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-protocol.html#orgheadline8

* Notes

** Emacs doesn't activate?

I use graphical Emacs and start Emacs server from there, however after clicking

some org-protocol link, Emacs doesn't activate. I don't know the cause. If you

encounter the same issue AND don't like it, you can try this instead

#+BEGIN_SRC applescript

  on open location this_URL

     do shell script "/usr/local/bin/emacsclient \"" & this_URL & "\" && open -a Emacs"

  end open location

#+END_SRC

** User Script

On web browser, besides bookmarklets, you can also use User Script, for example,

[[./org-protocol.user.js]] binds two keys to Org: store-link and Org: capture.
