I’d like to have a link which allows me to open a file in my favorite IDE. Textmate registeres it’s own protocol txmt://open/?url=file://%file&line=%line and it works fine, but I can’t find out how to open the file in some other application (for example NetBeans).
This probably requires registering some protocols and setting my browser – I’d like to register it on Chrome.
It doesn’t appear to be difficult to register a system-wide URL handler for a protocol you design. In your handler you can send the file on to your IDE. The handler can be Cocoa based or applescript.
For a Cocoa solution, see this post. For a real world Cocoa example, you can look at bwana.
For an applescript solution, see this post or this post for a start.
