As org-protocol.el ships with org-mode and org-mac-protocol contains (require 'org-protocol), no additional user intervention is required to install org-protocol (but make sure you're using org-mode 6.28 or later). org-protocol.el provides an extendable method of handling links sent to emacsclient. org-mac-protocol is a suite of AppleScripts that sends links from various applications and an org-protocol.el handler to process them. So org-mac-protocol builds on org-protocol.el > How does it relate to fireforg? Should I install both if I want > Firefox tabs to be savable? No relation to fireforg. I haven't had an opportunity to try fireforg, but they should coexist happily. Unfortunately, Firefox doesn't support AppleScript so Firefox is not compatible with org-mac-protocol. Safari is the only browser supported. > I mostly want to bookmark tabs from Safari and Firefox on Mac (and > later when I get a Debian machine on that). > > Ideally this would be done without any typing.

If all you want is title and URL, then calling the org-link AppleScript will send a link to *org-links* list. These still have to be inserted into org page of your choice with C-c C-l Alternatively, you could call the org-remember AppleScript that will pop up a small remember frame with remember template of your creation. That can contain title, URL and selected content. A quick C-c C-c will file the link, destroy the frame and return you to Safari. > > Are there reports that it works on Tiger? > No one has reported.

It's not the right place to distribute an AppleScript extension written by another author. >I followed the link, and I get what URI escaping is, but don't know >whether it is necessary for org-mac-protocol. Should I use the dmg? If you're on Tiger, your best bet is to download my dmg and follow the manual install procedure (the installer package is the only Leopard specific but - Tiger doesn't allow one to automatically install to the user's home directory).
