Tiny PNG workflow [Updated to v1.2]

[deanishe]

Good tip, Vero.

I've edited the script to not change filenames. The compressed images get downloaded to a different folder, so they won't clash, and now I don't have to rename the files before replacing the originals.

[CarlosNZ]

Hey folks, I've updated the workflow to v1.3 to now automatically support JPG files as well. (As per Vero's suggestion above.)

 

Download v1.3

 

Cheers,

Carl.

Hi Carl, 

first of all thanks a lot for your plugin... it's awemsome.

Now, with el Capitan i switch to pathfinder... can help me to convert the script to read the path finder file?

thanks a lot

Would be very useful a workflow to compress PDFs.

Great workflow! Thanks Carl for sharing.

AWEEEESOME! Every new workflow that I see is a new reason to love Alfred <3

Hi,

 

I'm a newbie with workflows and don't know where to put the API code.

I go to: tinypng_config within the workflow and see /bin/bash

 

key="{query}"

 

#Storage directory for API key

PREFS="$HOME/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/Workflow Data/carlosnz.tinypng"

 

#Create storage folder

mkdir -p "$PREFS"

 

#Save user's key to storage file

echo "$key">"$PREFS/api_key"

 

#Notify

echo "New API key applied:"$'\n'"$key"

 

 

Where can I put the API?

 

Best regards,

Hendrik

You don't need to go to tinypng_config in the workflow... just start typing tiny into Alfred and you will be provided with three options. One option will be "Enter/Change API Key". Choose this option and it will prompt for your API key. Paste your key, hit return and you should be good to go.

Anyone on High Sierra (GM) using this workflow?

Mine has stopped working.

I use it every day as well

 

The report just states:

FILE: /Users/me/Documents/Temp/test4.png
Problem downloading test4_shrink.png

Hey, this is not related to the HS issue but once you look into it remember to change the location of the data folder by adopting the environment variable instead of hard coding the path, since Alfred 2 and 3 have different locations for persistent data. So you can use this:

 

#Storage directory for API key
PREFS="$alfred_workflow_data"

It's working for me on the first public release.

[funkymonkey]

I completely uninstalled it then reinstalled and set it up from scratch.

 

Working now!

 

I wondered if the location I had set had something to do with it. i.e. I had changed the default location from desktop to another folder. Then updated macOS (obviously including new file system) then it broke. Anyway it works now (with the previous location change).

if It doesn't work with alfred3 

try to fix tinypng_config script 

 

PREFS="$HOME/Library/Application Support/Alfred 3/Workflow Data/carlosnz.tinypng"

 

It may be Alfred 2 folder in your setting

Changing the data folder path will not fix any issue with the workflow. Additionally, hard-coding the data folder path is not a good practice as you can use the environment variable like I told four posts above yours:

Hello and thank you for the great workflow.

I am trying to configure it.
Is this workflow supporting Alfred 4?

For me, the workflow works sometimes, sometimes not - http://joxi.net/eAO6y1pF974Z92

I get this error - "Problem downloading feature-location-3.jpg"

I replaced this path:
PREFS="$HOME/Library/Application Support/Alfred 4/Workflow Data/carlosnz.tinypng" from Alfred 2 to Alfred 4 - but it didn't help. (Before (when the path was $HOME/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/...) it worked the same way 50/50 - sometimes correct, sometimes error)
I am using Mojave 10.14.6

I am using my own API key for ЕнтнЗТПю

I will be glad to any help. Maybe I am doing something wrong.

Alfred 4 doesn't use the "Alfred 4" directory. It's just called "Alfred" now. But in any case, do what @xilopaint says.

Hello @xilopaint , @deanishe and thank you for your answers.

I made this change - http://snpy.in/8NlGMK - but it didn't help - I still have this "problem downloading" issue. http://snpy.in/VUI4Tr

I imported the tinyPNG workflow and made only one change in tinypng.sh file as you told me.

You have to make the same change in the Run Script object connected to the tiny_png_config keyword on Alfred Editor.

@Roman52 do you still have the issue if you try to shrink one file at a time.
