AppleScript to copy the path of an image in the syntax required by TiddlyWiki for easy image embedding

copyImagePath.workflow

on run {input, parameters}
	
	tell application "Finder"
		set fileName to selection as alias
		set fileName to POSIX path of fileName
		set firstPart to "[img[" & fileName
		set imagePath to firstPart & "]]"
		
		set the clipboard to imagePath
	end tell
	
	return input
end run

Adding local images to a TiddlyWiki document is quite tedious because of the syntax (example given in OS X):

[img[/Users/user/path/to/folder/filename.jpg]]

This simple AppleScript can be used to copy the file path from Finder into the clipboard in the correct format, ready for pasting into a TiddlyWiki document. For ultimate awesomeness, set it up as a service and then assign a keyboard shortcut.

Instructions for use

1. Grab the code
2. Open Automator and paste it into a Run AppleScript node
3. Change the input to be accepts files and folders from Finder
4. Save it out as a Service with a meaningful name
5. The service should appear in the right-click context menu under Services
6. Optional: keyboard shortcuts can be assigned to services in System Preferences -> Keyboard
