Trying to use MarkText as an external editor with Joplin.
In Joplin settings under General > Text Editor Path put the following:
/Applications/Mark\ Text.app/Contents/MacOS/Mark\ Text
I tried the same for Typora:
/Applications/Typora.app/Contents/MacOS/Typora
(also tried both with -n at the end of the path or in the argument field)
However notes do not open in MarkText or Typora as I was hoping for.
What am I doing wrong?
Anybody else can help?
Many macOS applications provide a binary that allows one to lauch it from the commandline. I don't have either of these 2 programs you mentioned.
What happens, if you run:
/Applications/Typora.app/Contents/MacOS/Typora -h
/Applications/Typora.app/Contents/MacOS/Typora --help
Sometimes a macOS app also allows to call it directly with arguments.
If not, there's something like open that might work.
open -a Typora file.txt
I use Typora with Joplin and in the text editor path i simply have:
/Applications/Typora.app
No arguments, just the text above. Works fine on macOS Big Sur.
Thank you @eagle it worked! I should have applied occam's razor approach as you did rather than trying to find a more complicated solution.
