intro

• Content of setup/npprel/npprel.py is as follow.

  import os, sys, subprocess, urllib.parse
  
  # --- Notepad++ path per machine ---
  NOTEPADPP = r"C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe"
  
  # This script is in <repo>\setup\npprel\npprel.py
  script_dir = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
  
  # repo root is two levels up
  repo_root = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(script_dir, os.pardir, os.pardir))
  
  if len(sys.argv) < 2:
      sys.exit("Usage: npprel.py <url>")
  
  url = sys.argv[1]  # e.g. npprel://content/post/my-post.md
  parsed = urllib.parse.urlparse(url)
  rel_path = urllib.parse.unquote(parsed.path).lstrip("/")
  
  folder_path = "content/posts/"
  
  if rel_path == '.md':
      rel_path = '_index.md'
      folder_path = 'content/'
  
  full_path = os.path.normpath(os.path.join(repo_root, folder_path, rel_path))
  print(full_path)
  
  if not os.path.exists(full_path):
      subprocess.run([NOTEPADPP])  # just open N++ if missing
  else:
      subprocess.run([NOTEPADPP, full_path])

• Problem:
  • Link clicked does not open the Notepad++ with file nor only it when the file not exist.
  • Commnd line does work, e.g. py npprel.py 25/h/62-categ-notes.md.
• Solution:
  • Find Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\npprel\shell\open\command
  • Edit

    "C:\Users\Sparisoma Viridi\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python312\python.exe" "M:\butiran\setup\npprel\npprel.py" "%1"

  • Revision

    "C:\Users\Sparisoma Viridi\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python312\python.exe" "M:\butiran-src\setup\npprel\npprel.py" "%1"

  • Close Registry Editor.
• Test
  • It works.
