The best way to do this is to launch it yourself in the script. When selecting an item, have the action launch it using

```
LaunchBar.execute("open -a <path to program> <file to open>");

```

Well, I've been able to get Launchbar to behave better by removing all directory scanning. So, I'm just using it for the actions right now.

Launchbar hangs for me as well on macOS X Siera. Randomly on launching, it just sits there in front of everything. After several MINUTES, it comes back and launches the last thing I had done. Therefore, I am using it less and less.

I just did a major update to this action. The new features are: 1) Paste through Keyboard Maestro (expanding the %| cursor placement macro). 2) Added the next Handlebar helper for doing relative dates (see the new help file). 3) Added the ability to hook into the Handlebar template engine by adding ...

Just created @launchbar List Processor Action and List Processor - Options action. Download it from GitHub: http://bit.ly/1RwOqEJ

It allows you to sequence through a list of items. You use the List Processor - Options to select the type of separator, position in the list, and a forwards/backwards toggle.

Just added a new action for adding new tasks to projects in TaskPaper. You can download it here: https://github.com/raguay/MyLaunchBarActions

I just updated this action to allow for alternate versions of the same snippet by changing the inserted variables. It also has a new companion action Quiver Helper. You can get both actions from my GitHub repository listed in the first post. Let me know if you find any issues with the action. Thanks.

Just swap out the given AppleScript file with yours and your done.

I packaged the whole action up for you. You can download it here: m The LaunchBar action script I had above had a typo: it should be LaunchBar and not Launchbar. It is corrected in the action here for download and edited the above post. You will need to go inside the action and edit the script for t...

You AppleScript needs to be: on run argv set subject_ to argv set the_content to "" tell application "Mail" set newMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:subject_, content:the_content & return & return} tell newMessage set visible to true set sender...

If you have an AppleScript file already, you can run it from an action using Launchbar.executeAppleScriptFile(<path to file>, <arg1>, <arg2>,...) in the action. The Action Editor will create the skeleton file for the action. By adding the file to the action in the ActionEditor, you path would just b...

Just updated them both for a bug. Please redownload them and re-install them. I still can't get the auto update thing to work. One of the bugs caused the Defaults data to always be kept and not the individual snippet's data file. Also, you can now define the boolean "expandPlain" in your d...

Okay. I just answered my own question. I created a new action called " Paste Through TextExpander ". It takes a string and expands it with TextExpander ( https://smilesoftware.com/textexpander ). It can be useful for other areas as well. You can get it from my GitHub LaunchBar Repository (...

BTW : I would like to pass the results through the TextExpander program to use it's functionality for placing the text and moving the cursor to a specified point. I have the applescript for sending it to TextExpander by way of LaunchBar.executeAppleScript() function, but it alway puts the text into...

I just created an action to use Quiver ( http://happenapps.com/#quiver ), a great programmer's notebook, as a snippet manager. You can download it from my GitHub Launchbar Actions Repository ( https://github.com/raguay/MyLaunchBarActions ). Once downloaded and installed, send your Quiver Library to ...
