Sounds sensational, while it is not. According to (info "(org) Protocols") it says that data has to conform to specific URL specification. It is a way to standardize input to Org, rather then to general Emacs and it was meant to be used from browsers. Then the Emacs Lisp is run according to settings in Emacs which have to match the Org Protocol URLs, right? Even though it was made rather for browser, it may be used in many ways with or without browser. Though: Emacs has in any case the capability to accept information in various ways and then run we could say really arbitrary Emacs lisp, as the command line options allow it. How data is sent from external programs may be decided, coded, prepared by such programs. The freedom shall not be forgotten. How I see it, people may think that Org Protocol is the only way to add information to Emacs. Neither it is not the only way to add Org information or notes to Org or any other type of the file. As Org headings begin with stars, one can easily concatenate various information from various sources and convert it to Org file. Let us say from places.sqlite where Firefox and derivate browsers' bookmarks are held, with one liner it may be converted to Org headings. It is not as sophisticated. sqlite3 places.sqlite "select '** ' || title || char(10) || char(10) || title || ': ' || url || char(10) || char(10) FROM 'moz_places';" It will give the output like: ** Libervia Libervia: https://salut-a-toi.org/presentation#demo ** Libervia Libervia: https://www.libervia.org/ ** Libervia register new account Libervia register new account: https://www.libervia.org/register?redirect_url=%2F ** flatpak invalid compressed data at DuckDuckGo flatpak invalid compressed data at DuckDuckGo: https://html.duckduckgo.com/html/?q=flatpak+invalid+compressed+data -- Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns In support of Richard M.
