This extension copies specific information from currently selected records and places the plain text result on the clipboard. You can then paste that text into an email message or into any text document. If multiple records are selected, it will copy text for each one.
This extension is called "Copy Custom" because you can edit it to customize the data copied for each type of record. To edit this extension, open it in GEDitCOM Editor (or choose the extension in GEDitCOM II while holding down the option key). Once opened, expaned the "Properties" section, click on "other files", and then double click on "Copy Custom.applescript". The script will open in AppleScript Editor and you can customize what is copied for each type of record, by editing the subroutine for that record. The subroutines are named:
copyTYPE(recRef)
where TYPE
is the GEDCOM record type tag (e.g., INDI
, FAM
, etc.) and recRef
is a reference to the record. Each subroutine should return a string
with the desired information by that record. You can use any GEDitCOM II scipting method to compile the text string. When done, save the script in AppleScript Editor.
