Reminders

[roccitman]

I have a problem with this workflow after updatering to El Capitan. Adding a task ('r something') freezez the Reminders App for some minute, after showing that it has added the reminder. Oddly, it also seems to make Reminders unstable after adding a single reminder, to the point where I need to reboot El Capitan in order to get Reminders working smoothly again (!). 

 

As I've written before, this script is a key in my everyday workflow - thank you Jack for all your work with it!

Yeah, I'm having a similar problem. It seems to eventually make the reminder, but Reminders.app seems to really not like the whole thing.

I need to update the workflow for 10.11. Hopefully it should be a quick change. Please stand by.

Please download the update in the first post if you are using OS 10.11

Seems to work great!

Thank you Jack, it's super useful!

The workflow communicates with Reminders via AppleScript, so Reminders has to be running.

It would be possible to detect if Reminders is not running when the workflow starts, and then quit it again afterwards.

Probably a quick add. Maybe a flag in the script to keep the Reminders application in its current state:

0 --> 0

1 --> 1

It is actually supposed to do just that, but is clearly not working. I'll take a look.

fix is in the latest version

[surrealroad]

Can you try the following:

 

1. Quit reminders.
2. Watch the dock for Reminders to appear
3. Start typing the reminders command in Alfred
4. Action the command

Can you see if Reminders is appearing before you action the command?

which Mac OS version is this with?

[Vero]

10.8.5 .

 

(As a newbie, that was my last post for today, the limit of 10 posts is over..)

 

Could you please fill in your Powerpack email address in your forum profile? This will allow me to confirm your Powerpack user status, and I'll be able to lift your 10 posts limit at the same time.

 

Thanks,

Vero

I released a potential fix for this, see the download link in the first post. Unfortunately I can't test it because I don't have anything with Mac OS 10.8 installed, but do let me know if it works.

Does it work correctly if you use the "radd" keyword instead of "r"?

Hi, I´m new here, thanks for this great workflow. I´m using MAC OS 10.11.2 and it seems to be a problem. I can't set due date or alarm for the reminder. I just can create the reminder but not seeing the due date. I can´t get any of the options when I type “r help”. Is there any update or am I doing something wrong here. Best regards.

Can you do "rtest" and post the results back?

It doesn't look like there's anything not working as expected.  Can you try entering one of the examples from the first post and taking a screengrab??

Those are links to 2 images showing the problem. Thanks for your time and support.

[surrealroad]

in your examples, you need to include what you want the reminder to be. "r today" won't do anything, but "r today charge phone" will

The syntax you've used in that example is incorrect. Try "r on 24/01/16 to charge phone"

That works, but how do I set time, I still can´t do that
