| -- The default service that adds links to Safari's Reading List is a | |
| -- bit on the strict side when deciding what constitutes a URL and it | |
| -- doesn't work well for adding shortened URLs from apps like twitter. | |
| -- This version is more tolerant and will prepend http:// if the | |
| -- selected text does not already start with http:// or https://. | |
| -- | |
| -- Service receives selected text in any application. | |
| on run {input, parameters} | |
| set theItem to item 1 of input | |
| if theItem starts with "http://" or theItem starts with "https://" then | |
| set theUrl to theItem | |
| else | |
| set theUrl to "http://" & theItem | |
| end if | |
| tell application "Safari" | |
| add reading list item theUrl | |
| end tell | |
| return theUrl | |
| end run |
