If you use CogSci Apps’ excellent Hookmark app to link together information on your Mac, you’re undoubtedly already enjoying how easily you can jump between files, notes, web pages, contacts, and other data you’ve hooked together. But did you know you can speed things up even more using Default Folder X?
Default Folder X enhances Save dialogs in a way that lets it process any file right after you save it. With this, you can automatically add a bookmark in Hookmark whenever you save a file in a specific app — making it instantly ready to hook to other related information.
Setting this up is simple: just add an AppleScript to Default Folder X’s Save Actions. To start, open a Save dialog in any app. Click the “Actions” tab below the Save dialog, then select “Send the saved file to the AppleScript” and click “Open Scripts folder in Finder.”
When the Scripts folder opens in Finder, download this file:

Unzip it and drag the “Bookmark with Hookmark.scpt” script into the Scripts folder. It will then appear in the Actions menu.
Now, when you save a file and want it automatically bookmarked in Hookmark, simply enable the “Bookmark with Hookmark” action below the Save dialog. Usually, you’ll want to check “Remember these actions next time” so Default Folder X always adds a bookmark for that app — saving you from having to enable it every time you save.
