Cannot get 'prepend' to work on text files

[Dave Everitt]

I'm following an old guide that ends up with prepending text to an existing text file, but the "prepend" command just fails to appear - beep.

I have the Text Manipulation Plugin installed - but is there anything else that needs to be activated first?

Check Preferences → General → Actions and make sure the ones you want to use are enabled.

thanks - hadn’t spotted that. Been using QS for years, and there are still ‘mysteries’ to discover ;-)

I’ve been working on the code for 11 years, and I’m convinced that we will never know everything it can do.
