    Vero reacted to Tsunami in Is there a way to sync Web Bookmark shortcuts from an older laptop that I no longer have to my new laptop using my profile?   
    If by web bookmarks you mean web searches, those are stored in Alfred’s preferences. But if you never set up preferences syncing in Alfred (to Dropbox for example), they can only be retrieved from a Time Machine backup. 
     
    if you don’t have Time Machine set up, stop what you’re doing and do it immediately. It will save you from these headaches.

    Vero got a reaction from CharlesVermeulen in ChatGPT / DALL-E - OpenAI integrations   
    @CharlesVermeulen To expand on @iandol's response: OpenAI offer some API free credit on account creation (it's now $5 I believe) which is valid for 3 months, then expires. 
     
    If your credit has expired, or you've used it up, you'll see the error message you've received.
     
    Reiterating what has been said before; The ChatGPT web-based interface is separate from the API, so while the website is free, there is a cost to the API, however small, so you'll likely need to add a few dollars of credit here:

    Vero reacted to Stephen_C in Simple Ideas: sulky workflows—bug catching   
    Background
    This Simple Ideas post (the penultimate one of the series for the time being) is different. There's no skeletal workflow, no painful dissection of any living thing—merely a few little tips for anyone who ever writes a basic workflow that simply sulks and does nothing (assuming that is not what it was designed to do).

    I am quite sure these are not mistakes that you commonly make but I am at least, let's say, familiar with them.

    A check-list for sulky workflows
    1. Check for typos.
    2. Check for typos.
    3. Check for typos. It is horribly easy to refer a variable with the tinest of typos in it (or even to create one like that and miss the typo when using the variable) and then spend hours wondering at the sullen silence of the workflow when it is run.
    4. Package your variables. Remember Alfred has no idea whether theChosenOne is a variable you previously created or an obscure piece of text unless you tell Alfred: so, {var:theChosenOne} please when you use the variable!
    5. Have you duplicated a Hotkey Trigger or a Keyword Input? If either is already used by another existing workflow you're not going to get the results you expect from your new workflow.
    6. Have you carefully created a variable but then omitted to pass that variable to something in the workflow that expects to receive it? Remember, you can't create and pass on a new variable in the same Arg and Vars utility. You will need another Arg and Vars utility to pass on the newly created variable to whatever it is that expects to receive it.
    7. Have you, alternatively, passed to something in the workflow a variable that object should not receive? (The classic example of that is using a second Keyword Input to gather user input but passing to it the input from the first Keyword Input. In that case the second Keyword Input arrives carefully pre-filled with the input from the first Keyword Input…which is probably not what you want.) It is by no means uncommon to have to use an Arg and Vars utility with everything in it completely blank—to ensure that nothing is passed to the next object in the workflow.
    8. Have you provided an alternative path in your workflow but forgotten to specify the Action Modifier?
    9. Have you simply overlooked completing a variable in an action that expects it? (A number of Automation Tasks allow you to specify, within the task, the variable the task is to process. In a similar way you can specify a variable within the Large Type Output and Copy to Clipboard action.)
    10. Are you seeing odd results when pressing esc (perhaps expecting to end the workflow)? Check whether you've told Alfred not to close his window in a place where you should not have done.

    Call the emergency services
    Stop: don't do it! The emergency services in this case consist of bug-catchers provided by Alfred: the debugger and the Debugger Utility. Both are invaluable when attempting to beat a sulky workflow into submission.

    If you open the debugger (⌘D is the easy way) for the relevant worklow then run the workflow Alfred will show you, in the debug window, exactly what the workflow is doing when it runs. Examination of the results can often assist in identifying where things may have gone astray.

    Further, you can attach the Debugger Utility to any object in your workflow to check what is being passed out of that object and the value of all variables that exist at that stage of the workflow.

    In conclusion
    No workflows were harmed in the creation of this post.

    Vero got a reaction from Alan He in Question about license   
    @Sharpness777 Welcome to the forum
     
    It's not possible to cross-grade from the Single User license to the Mega Supporter within the same version. If you opt for the Single User license, when the next version of Alfred is announced, you would become eligible for an upgrade to the Mega Supporter at a discount.

    While my brain is certainly small enough to fit in a Snippet 😁 I have reason to suppose you might be well qualified to prepare some sort of presentation on Snippets. 😉

    @Zzyzx Oh The Alfred Remote counterpart app gets its features from Alfred on Mac; Every time new workflow objects are added to Alfred on your Mac, these can be triggered via the Remote app. As such, it doesn't need frequent updates in the App Store in order to take advantage of these features.

    Vero got a reaction from vitor in Security of workflow updates   
    @alvred This is why I suggested that you can ask about any workflow you're not certain about; Many workflows use simple objects, automation tasks (created by our team) and actions that are very transparent, so it's easy to see what they do in the canvas. If you have doubts about scripts in specific workflows, we (and the community) are always here to help demystify them.

    @ncb2 Welcome to the forum  
     
    It looks like you need to install Python to use this workflow. Here's how you can install dependencies for workflows that are not from the Alfred Gallery and therefore not managed by the built-in dependencies manager:
    https://www.alfredapp.com/help/kb/install-dependencies/
     
    You'll need to check whether the workflow you're using required Python 2 or 3, as it looks like there are a few different workflows for Pocket.

    @Manny Have you followed the steps in Andrew's answer to the thread you linked? 
     
    Check that your Firewall allows incoming connections from Alfred Remote, and that your network allows devices to see each other.
     
    Some networks (e.g. corporate networks, coffee shops) have restrictions in place to stop devices being able to see each other on the network for the safety of individual users.

    @primeminister Your best bet is to go to Time Machine and find your Alfred.alfredpreferences file from prior to the deletion, as this file will contain all of your snippets. 
     
    You can then either replace the entire Alfred.alfredpreferences file, or navigate within the package contents to grab the folder of snippets that matches the one you've accidentally deleted.

    Vero got a reaction from GrimlocK in Workflows / Alfred 5.5 Beta   
    @GrimlocK Taking a look at your Sync settings, I can see that you're using ~/Documents/Alfred Settings/ as the location for your preferences, which will be synced via iCloud.
     
    First, quit Alfred and copy the Alfred.alfredpreferences file from your sync location to:
    ~/Library/Application Support/Alfred/
     
    In the Application Support folder, delete the prefs.json file and relaunch Alfred.
     
    In the Advanced Preferences, Alfred should now say that your preferences are not synced. Try using your preferences in this location, and see if you get normal behaviour in terms of updating workflows, removing duplicates, etc.
     
    This takes iCloud out of the equation, and we can then set that back up next.
