politicus Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Working very well now. Thank you. Link to comment
tseven Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) First of all, thank you Carlos for creating this workflow, it is great! I've come up with a solution to automatically launch Dropbox if it isn't already. I've added the following code to the script which gets triggered at the beginning any of the capture methods: if application "Dropbox" is not running then do shell script "nohup open -a Dropbox > /dev/null 2>&1 &" end if This launches Dropbox in the background while resuming the original script as soon as possible. This way it doesn't delay the screen capture much. Here is the modified workflow: http://bit.ly/1E6NvUe Screenshots of the modification: http://bit.ly/1wscKTx http://bit.ly/1wscFyW Edited March 11, 2015 by tseven Link to comment
tseven Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) I got a bit carried away and have modified the workflow to better match my needs/wants. Features I've added since 1.12: Random file names (more difficult for people to guess your next screenshot). This will generate a random 4 character file name containing upper and lowercase a-Z and 1-9. A few ambiguous characters were dropped to avoid confusion when manually typing/relaying the url. (ie. lI0O) -- I believe this will be faster than the standard naming convention since it won't have to check if each numbered file before the current number exists. I haven't tested this but that's what appears to be happening. Option to skip a step when running "setups" again. Your current setting will remain untouched. Optimize image with ImageOptim (if it's not installed the the setting will be ignored) Save the capture in .jpeg format. This produces smaller files, but will disable to shadow on window captures. All you need to do is re-run "setups", skip your existing settings and set the new ones. Download 1.13 New in 1.14: Added support for using jpegoptim and pngquant. These run in the background. Updated optimization descriptions since an optimized png can be smaller than the jpg verion. Download 1.14 The latest updates to this script and my notes can be found here. Enjoy.

argcarlo Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Every time I run setupss it pops open safari search. Bizarre. Link to comment
tseven Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Every time I run setupss it pops open safari search. Bizarre. Are you running Yosemite? You probably need to download the settings.plist from the earlier post Link to comment
Nuje Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Is it possible to get this workflow to put my screenshots into a buried folder? I'm trying to keep it a bit more organized, so would like it in ~/DB/Public/Screenshots/2015 for now....then next year, update it to put them in 2016, etc. Link to comment
Nuje Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Cancel that - answered my own question. (look in the .plist file in ~/Library/Application Support/Alfred2/Workflow Data/...) Link to comment
turkeyphant Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Loved this but no longer working? Hangs on "searching..." Link to comment
keeprock Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Everything working just great! My life is never be the same again ) I wonder, is it possible to make the same workflow for a tool such GifGrabber (http://www.gifgrabber.com). I've tried to make a gif, then copy it to Dropbox, then get a link, and I'm not speaking about bit.ly shorten, and already feel so exhausted compare to workflow I have with a screenshot. Can somebody have an ability to help build such a workflow? Everything is already here, we just a need a way to operate with GifGrabber. I think that kind of workflow will be awesome! Link to comment
kenl Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I'm using this workflow successfully but running into a problem where the files in my local dropbox folder are created with "Hide Extension" activated, is there anyway to disable this and always show full filename including extension? This is in El Capitan if that makes any difference. Link to comment
Carlos-Sz Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 @ All As soon as possible I'll update this workflow to Alfred 3. Thank you for the feedback! Link to comment

afordturtle Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Hi. I'm trying to install this on Alfred 3. I am able to install it, but am confused as to how to set it up. I type in "setupss" in Aflred, and it brings up this: When I hit "Return", it then shows a Mac notification that says "Start typing to select a folder" and that is it. Nothing happens.

jarhead Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 See Carlos' post above regarding upgrading for Alfred 3... http://www.alfredforum.com/topic/3922-screenshots-11-capture-save-to-dropbox-get-link-and-manage-files-and-past-links/page-2#entry43776 Hi.

magrolino Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 (edited) Any updates on this for Alfred v3? This was one of the workflows I used most and it worked until I (stupidly) removed Alfred 2 from my mac :/ p.s.: the settings file - dropbox link does not work anymore.. so I am stuck!

Here is a new workflow version that I'm still testing. If you'd like to try it download it here. Note that you have to configure the workflow in Alfred Preferences as seen below: Link to comment
magrolino Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Awesome, thank you so much - works like a breeze (again) Link to comment
Carlos-Sz Posted July 6, 2016 Author Share Posted July 6, 2016 Awesome, thank you so much - works like a breeze (again) I'm glad to hear it is working. I'll make a few more tests then I'll release it. Link to comment
politicus Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Just transitionned from Alfred 2 version to Alfred 3 with no problem. Thanks you for your amazing work! What a mandatory workflow! Link to comment
Quinn Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Hey, Carlos. I love this workflow. Is there currently a way to change the file type? PNG is great and all, but I have more reasons to use jpeg. Link to comment
dabeeeenster Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 All these download links are broken? Is the workflow still available? Maybe on Github or similar? Link to comment

Carlos-Sz Posted March 18, 2017 Author Share Posted March 18, 2017 Download links updated Link to comment
magrolino Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 (edited) Does the workflow now still work with the "default" public links being disabled by dropbox or not? Sorry for the extra question but I tried to download the workflow from post 1 in this thread and it seems to still use the "old" url scheme which does not work anymore? Did I miss something, which download links got updated? Edited March 19, 2017 by magrolino typo fixed Link to comment
