@pdazero I am aware of Zettelkasten and I used it for some time but I decided to implement my own solution without having another client end app dependency. I am using filename derived from title of the Note because I would like to stay independent. Sometimes I am just looking at the directory level to find notes without using Alfred and date only does not bring any value to me. 

The YAML header, why I am using it...just because I like it

@pdazero is there any reference on how Zettelkasten is generating Filenames?

v1.2 supports Powerbeats Pro in addition.

@epistaxis thank you for reporting this issue. It was a bug in my script when blueutil was installed via installer script. Fixed now!

I am on Catalina and no issues....

1. what is the output when you enter ...

blueutil -v

....in terminal?

2. What is log output of Alfred...open workflow and click on the bug on top right corner

Got it, thx!

Don’t forget you can edit the top post to remove the blueutil requirement.

not sure I understand. Which top post ?

@vitor Done...implemented and released Thank you for the tip!

what about Python?

import os

os.environ['PATH'] = os.popen('./_sharedresources "blueutil"').readline()
os.popen('blueutil WHATEVER')

@vitor sure would be wonderful. What is preferred way to start integrating it? Should I read manual first or is it meant to get premium support from you ? 🤗

I know, it is another AirPods Connector, but I am an owner of 3 pairs of them, and I was unable to find an AirPods Connector which supports more than one pair. In addition, the WF runs out of the box without any configuration.

New Release (2.1.1) fixes slow search when searching across all browser histories.

In addition, within WF environment variables, the search for each browser can be enabled or disabled optionally.

@cands I am now seeing another issue: You typed 

md# slutför

but I implemented without white space, therefore try

md#slutför

or change in workflow if you like to type with white space

@cands Strange, I but it worked some time before given your previous posts right?

Please download newest version from files (not from releases). I did some minor improvements which may help. For me German umlauts works. 

@cands as mentioned before, I am not implementing subfolder scanning due to performance decrease. 

Re. German, umlaut for me it works. I am able to search for Bäume via `mdt#Bäume` as well as via `mds #bäume`. Can you provide me with debugging output?

v2.4.0 on GitHub

Add Batch Mode Deletion

Files with specific tags can be deleted in batch mode. This feature is useful for cleanup-routine of old notes, e.g. #Year2018 or #todelete etc. 

You need to add http:// or https:// in front of www.ilsr.org.

Done check it out v2.2.0: https://github.com/Acidham/alfred-apple-reminder

Reminder can be added together with Reminder title, e.g. rm the title http://www.alfredforum.com

This is a really good idea, but I had to edit the workflow quite a bit to make it useable.

@deanishe did you PR the changes or can you share the WF with your mods?

Even this whole python setup and version is mess, Python is the only language that allows me to write quick and "dirty" code for achieving common task on my computer or Alfred. I like to have a the ability to control of how a language or IDE keeps me honest instead only the system applies the truth and nothing else. Go, for example, sometimes drives me nuts because I would like to achieve something quick and then the IDE always give me a slap in the face 😕 . And when I try to achieve the same I am horrible fast. But in the end it counts how big my investment is in something vs what value I am getting out of it and therefore Python is a good match. 

Anyhow I don't want to start debate on principles. I believe you guys do a great Job when it comes to your workflows... in the end the value and outcome counts and here 😉

you should try a statically-typed compiled language (Go, Swift etc.)

I started with GO but I am not there to really use it. So far I am totally happy with Python and I can use type hints without the IDE is constantly interrupting me like GO.

I am ok with Python 3.7 but as mentioned I am looking for something more scalable like the usecase "Apple decides to stay with 3.7.3 for the next 100 years". Therefore my ask to build env config into Alfred which allows to customize environment if required.

What's new in 3.8 that makes you so keen to use it?

1. I am seeing that some of my workflows are getting a performance boost.
2. I started to play around with type hints and I am seeing a big value when it comes to maintainability of my code
3. The whole unicode mess that I recently struggled with German umlauts seems to be easier to handle with 3.8 (with 2.7 it drove me nuts, really!)
4. Assuming Apple keeps 3.7.3 for the next 20 years I would like to be flexible instead of struggling on an old version and fight with things like this unicode sh***

@deanishe All  good

In the meantime I played around on how to run python3 script but in the end i need to build my wf for 3.7.3 since this is the default for macOS. One of the biggest pain with python is that setup mess. pyenv helps to work around but I am still not happy...But this is another topic 😉
