Large Type For Email Address?

[la bête]

Hi,

For some reason I don't have the large type action available when I
select an email address in Quicksilver. Works fine for phone numbers
and addresses, but not for this. Any thoughts?

Cheers,

James

How about an answer that's sure to be more technical than you want?

The Address Book Plugin adds most things as strings, but e-mail addresses are prefixed with "mailto:" and added as URLs.

There are a couple of ways to change that. Either the "Large Type" action could have URLs added to the list of things it supports, or the Address Book Plugin could assign an additional type to the e-mail address objects it creates (so Quicksilver could see them as both URLs *and* plain strings). This isn't something I have time or motivation for, but something like this in QSObject_ContactHandling.m would probably do it.

[obj setObject:address forType:QSTextType];

(You might need to define a primary type too, once the object has more than one.)

Thanks Rob,

That's certainly beyond my knowledge. Is there a change request log I
can add this to?

Cheers,
