Ha ha! Seems my reputation precedes me. Seems s l a m knew what I was going to do before I did it ;-)

I hadn't seen this until someone pointed it out to me. I also didn't know I had a reputation, or at least a good one!

I've released a new version of my assetManager tool. Please update by refreshing the tool's code. In Radio, Tools -> AssetManager -> Refresh Code...

New features:

Added Google support via right-click menus allowing you to search for text that either you enter or that you select from a buddy's instant outline. Install these new menus via Tools -> AssetManager -> Install right-click menus...

  1. Google -> Search for...

    Brings up a dialog box allowing you to enter search terms for Google. Results appear as a new outline in Radio.

  2. Google -> Search for this...

    Searches Google for whatever you right-clicked on e.g. outline headings in a buddy's instant outline. Results appear as a new outline in Radio.

  3. Google -> Search for parts of this...

    As instant outlines are read only, you can't select specific text, groups of words, etc within an individual outline. This right-click menu captures the outline line you right-clicked on and allows you to edit it before searching Google. Very useful! Results appear as a new outline in Radio.

  4. Google -> Related...

    Searches Google for web pages related to the item you right-clicked on. The result is a new sub-outline to the item you right-clicked on. This 'Related...' menu command works on any Radio link nodeType including those in your or anyone else's instant outliner.

Please note. If you've previously installed any of my right-click menus you'll see they've all been incorporated into this new release under an Asset Manager right-click menu. As you may have modified these existing menu items for your own purposes I have not set this new install script to automatically remove old menu items. I have instead set the installer to pop your right-click menu to the front so you can delete unwanted older items yourself, if you want to of course!
