Hello Luckman212,
I would love to use your script with Obsidian and Service Station, which I bought for this purpose because it would make things so much easier with external files.
I have copied the script to the Application Scripts Directory of Service Station and it shows up in the context menu of my files.
But when click on the item in the context menu of any file, nothing happens.
Anything I could have missed?
Regards
Florian

The above script is not a fully baked solution @floppybox

I just posted a version that should fully work for you, as long as you have python3 installed via Homebrew.
see https://gist.github.com/luckman212/d2570b072fd1698492b0e17183990004

Let me know!

@floppybox I needed to "chmod +x" the script before it worked.

@faxd That's a good point. Yes the script needs to be executable.
