The Camino script is available for free and allows users to open a URL in a new window or tab by highlighting the link. This software helps to streamline browsing and improve productivity.
I recently downloaded the free AppleScript called Open Selected URL for Camino and found it to be incredibly useful. The purpose of this software is to open plain-text URLs that are highlighted in a new tab or window, based on your Tab Prefs settings.
While you can use the Services menu to quickly open a selected URL, the Open Selected URL script has a unique function - it prevents the spawning of a new tab if the selection is invalid. Additionally, the latest version (v1.6+) can be added to the toolbar for quick mouse-click access.
When installing Open Selected URL, all you have to do is unzip the file and copy it to the specified path - "~/Library/Scripts/Applications/Camino/" - which represents your home folder. The script will then appear under a "Camino Scripts" heading in your system-wide Script menu when Camino is the frontmost application.
If you are running Camino 1.6 or later, you can drag the Open Selected URL script from the "Customize Toolbar" drop-down sheet to the Camino toolbar. This makes opening plain-text URLs even easier and faster to access.
Overall, I must say that I am very impressed with Open Selected URL for Camino. It is a simple yet effective software that saves time and effort when opening URLs in new tabs or windows.
