#12 Let helpers have filenames as arguments

[J. J. Ramsey]

As far as I can tell, helpers are filters unless they
accept no input at all. It would be nice if one could
have Screem run a helper as "some-helper
<name-of-file-one-is-working-on>" in those instances
where running the equivalent of "cat
<name-of-file-one-is-working-on> | some-helper" won't
work. For example, if one is using XHTML, one might use
an XSLT processor to "massage" it, but few XSLT
processors work as filters (why, I don't know). It
would probably be best to use some special escape, say
"%f", in the "Path:" text field of the "Edit Helpers"
dialog that would expand to the name of file one is
working on; this would accomodate command line tools
that have options or other flags after the filename
argument (like many XSLT processors).

you already can put %f in the "Path:" text,. if that isn't
working it is a bug.

%f is already supported, if this isn't working then it is a bug.

as of 0.13.1 the following are supported.

%f = current document filename, including directory
%U = current document uri
%d = current document directory
%S = current site directory
%% = a normal % character
