TOPIC
In Sherlock's contextual menus, why is the "Summarize to Clipboard" menu item not available for all found documents?
DISCUSSION The "Summarize to Clipboard" facility of Sherlock is based on the new AppleScript verb in Standard Additions. This scripting addition can receive text in either of two methods, a text string passed it or a text file that it can read directly. Only files of type "TEXT" can be easily read, in general, without having further understanding of the file structure. Sherlock filters requests to summarize based on whether the file type is one that can be easily read and processed by the summarize facility. Thus, Sherlock's indexed searching ability may find files that it is not capable of summarizing. |
