Haha, nah man I really was just messing with you. Seriously, thanks for getting it updated. Keep the workflows coming

Filtering the list is definitely possible but its something you do inside your script. In a script filter, every time you type a character, it fires the script. So, in your script, read the input, parse it, filter with that. As for the chaining of multiple scripts, I don't know. It's an interesting idea definitely. It may be something possible in the future.

That's interesting. I haven't spotted that one yet. I'll check it. I should be able to sort them once added.

Here's a quick and dirty attempt. Literally did this in about 5 minutes If you want more, I'm sure I could accommodate. Just let me know.. Download

Yeah I thought that might be a problem.. I'll see if I can fix it...

One kinda of easy thing would be to make a workflow that will allow you to add locations/servers.. So do something like 'addserver smb://HTPC' and that would save it in a list. Then use 'srv <name>' and it would show a list of saved servers to select from. I can prob make it tonight it you want?

Updated 3/18: NOTE: Set your location again so a default weather unit gets set initially, then change it. Removed saving to the Workflow Data folder and actually save IN the workflow folder now. Should fix issue a few users are seeing and also allows syncing weather location. Download

The extension updater from V1 was mine. There have been several developers in the Workflow Creators forum talking about wanting to create something similar or better. Check out the convo over there. I doubt this is something that would ever be baked into Alfred as a core feature. This will be left to workflow developers.

So... I THINK I know what you are looking for. You want to set a hotkey to be able to open a preset folder in the file navigation? If so, this is kind of a round about way to do it but you could always connect a hotkey to run an applescript like this: on alfred_script(q) delay 0.1 tell application "System Events" to keystroke space using command down delay 0.5 tell application "System Events" to keystroke "/Applications" end alfred_script That will open Alfred and start the browser in /Applications

Nice.. works great

Bigluck: Not sure if you are aware of this but the workflow will return multiple line items for a result if it is in the Transmit History as well. That's one of the reasons I had not tackled this one yet because I didn't feel like messing with that I guess you could move around that by.. as you find them, add them to an array but only after you check to see if another entry with the same server and username exist (maybe the same remote path too).

Another neat way to extend from this would be to allow for multiple feeds. Check multiples, sirt them in the list by time/date. Could make a command to list all feed sources, set a modifier key + action to delete that source, etc

I can't confirm the naming of the folders issue as I haven't tried it but.. yeah, github COULD potentially do some of this stuff but that requires that every use have git installed and things like that. It could work as a stop-gap but not near as elegant of a solution as what tomhunt and I are discussing. The reason I say this is, yes, you could stick stuff on github and make it read a file there and such. I did that in v1. The major difference here that it seems like both tomhunt and I are searching for is a central location that would manage them all so it could be searched, pull updates, rate stuff etc. His solution is smaller initially but it would be amazing if we could pull something together that is similar to the overall goal I mentioned above. I'd really be interested to see if we could get a group of guys with some design, web experience and get something like this created. This could be the "Unofficial Alfredapp Workflow/Extension Store". Imagine how awesome it would be to be able to enter a keyword to fire a script filter and search the site and get back a list of matching workflows, press enter, and that be installed on your machine. Want simons youtube workflow, enter 'ws youtube' and it shows in a list of youtube related workflows, <enter>, its installed.

Steven, Since this was something that could more than likely be handled with a Workflow and isn't a request for a code Alfred feature, I moved this thread to the Workflow Creators forum. Thanks

I've actually wanted to do something similar for a while but to implement what I wanted is a huge task. I wanted to make a site that would allow users to login, submit their workflows, people could comment or rate them, etc. Then, also, provide an api for searching it and checking for updates. This would obviously still require the update_url file that you are referring to. Then with the api, in Alfred be able to search using 'ws' (workflow search) or something similar and provide feedback into Alfred. With that, just as you are describing, people would have a central place where they could find extensions (online or via Alfred). They could install them from Alfred without having to go anywhere else. I have loved the thought of this for a while but it's a big job to do alone especially with all the other stuff I have going on lately.

Ah, interesting. Glad you were able to figure it out. I haven't used ZSH in a while so I would have never caught that.

So you ripped off my extension huh? J/k, thanks for updating it.

I had been meaning to make this myself but hadn't gotten around to it. Nicely done.

Nice set of workflows. I made some of these myself but didn't release them. Great work!

This is an awesome idea but I don't think that would be something that will make it to v2.0.

Added the utf8 encoding and tweaked one or two other things.. try again?

Ok then we're getting somewhere. The second command is exactly what is used in the workflow. I was trying to target the exact area where the files were but maybe that is different in the alternate languages as well. I'll get a revision posted soon

Geez, this is getting ridiculous. Everything I make works fine on every machine I touch. Submit it for others and it goes haywire or doesn't work.

There may be issues with this, I wanted to post it to let people test it. Special characters may still cause an issue. http://d.pr/f/YzAy To set it up, go log into your Pinboard account on pinboard.in. Then go to Settings, and Password. Toward the bottom they provide you with API key. Copy that value. In Alfred, use the pinboardsetup keyword to enter that key. So: pinboardsetup <key> After that, just use: pb <query> It may take a second to sync your bookmarks to local. Subsequent calls should be fast. It will update the next time you search if the last time was more than 5 minutes ago. I still need to work on getting just the updated bookmarks and adding those in. I just wanted a few people to test this and play with it.

In response to suggestion 1 and 2.. 1. I started restricting string length on searches. That may help a little. If a search string is less than 3-4 characters, don't execute. 2. Andrew and I discussed something similar to this at one point but not sure something like this would make it to v2.0 Great ideas though!
