Automatic Screenshot Sharing with Hazel Fri Jan 10, 2014 5:29 am • by gaoruijie
I usually use Markdown to write. I want to share the image with Dropbox

I have noticed that there is a method to do the actions

Automatically copy the images to public link

![Hazel rule1](https://www.dropbox.com/s/r1ec9e8j86ibk ... .28.00.png)

![apple scripts](https://www.dropbox.com/s/kswjzvbbbfz7z ... .28.41.png)

My apple scripts

set file_path to theFile as text
try
set text item delimiters to ":"
set file name to last text item of file_path
set text item delimiters to ""
on error
set text item delimiters to ""
end try
set the clipboard to "https://dl.getdropbox.com/u/72877318/screenshots/" & file_name

But there is always showed me with "error executing apple scripts"

I'm trying to do something similar. I did notice you reference "file_name" in the AppleScript at the end, but earlier you named it "file name".

Try this:

Code: Select all
set file_path to theFile as text
try
set text item delimiters to ":"
set file_name to last text item of file_path
set text item delimiters to ""
on error
set text item delimiters to ""
end try
set the clipboard to "https://dl.getdropbox.com/u/72877318/screenshots/" & file_name
