Hi,

I am using Calibre on Mac OS X.

As one cannot add a folder that holds supporting information (mp3s, pics, etc.) for specific e-books to Calibre directly, I thought I would put those in a folder in DEVONthink and then add a link to the folder (e.g., x-devonthink-item://XXX) to the Calibre comments for this book be able to see that there are supporting files and to be able to open the folder containing them by clicking on the link. The advantage over linking to a folder on the HDD is that I can move the folder inside DEVONthink without the link becoming invalid.

What happens, though, is that the browser is launched to open the URL which fails obviously.

Did anybody of you succeed in adding custom URLs?

Thanks,

J
