Opening Marked 2 from BBEdit

Brett,

You were kind enough to send me an Apple script to open MultiMarkdown documents from BBEdit.

The script was:

tell application "BBEdit" to set mdFile to file of document window 1
tell application "Marked 2"
activate open mdFile end tell

I followed your instructions but when I run the script I get a -1702 error (corrupt document)

I have attached two screenshots and the original md file. Could you please advise how I can fix this error. I've tried Google but can't find anything relevant.

Regards,
Peter

   Try downloading this directly, unzipping, and placing into the BBEdit
   Scripts folder (~/Library/Application Support/BBEdit/Scripts). You don't
   need to open it in Script Editor at all, it will run with the
   "applescript" extension as an uncompiled script.

   Brett,

   Thank you again for your help. The new script works fine. BBEdit and Marked 2 are (IMHO) the best Markdown writing combination. I use a number of snippets in BBEdit to make life easier.

   Answer this only if you have time; the two scripts are the same except for the second being an AppleScript. Is the script file being a *.applescript file rather than a *.scpt file?

   Thanks again,
   Peter

   Hello!

   with a change it works for me also for CotEditor, really cool! Great, thanks...

   -- Place in ~/Library/Application Support/com.coteditor.CotEditor
   -- Use from the Script menu bar item while editing a Markdown document (must be saved first)
   tell application "CotEditor" to set mdFile to file of document of window 1
   tell application "Marked 2"
       activate
       open mdFile
   end tell
   

   Best regards Robert
