I have no idea why but when using my workflow whenever I try to use 'web' or 'images' or anything but 'reddit', it simply dismisses when it shouldn't do that. But if I go to alfred and use the workflow, it works. Here is a screencast with the issue demonstrated: http://quick.as/qa6rHd5kr I hope you can replicate it because I really rely on this workflow and I have no idea why this happens. Thank you.

I use this tool : https://github.com/wulkano/kap I quite like its UX for making the GIFs but not sure if it adds any weight to the made GIFs. I don't think it should.

Yeah the reason I did things as fast is because I wanted to keep the size under 5 MB. If its above, it doesn't render on GitHub. I put the files on a private repository with all other GIF's and that's the only limitation I have. I can try to make a slower version but then I can't show many things.

Ask Create Share This workflow lets you open any web submission on the Internet. Such as quickly making a Reddit post to some subreddit, creating a new GitHub repo. Making a post on stack exchange forum and more. The list of web submissions is user curated and can be extended here. For more information, on how you can use the workflow, you can read the GitHub readme. Code | Download

You can dispatch a key action in Alfred. Here is a workflow that does what you want.

Yeah I understand that. Still though it's something I do want to learn as I really love the tooling around it. Like gofmt for example. I also like how Go enforces you to write in a certain style. In python you can write however you want and if you are beginner, it's often not such a huge advantage for you. I am curious why don't you release your Safari Assistant workflow? I use it daily and it is amazing. I mean you kind of have released it on your self hosted git but not officially.

Updated workflow to use OneUpdater ? Download it here.

Yeah, I think I copied OneUpdater from one of your workflows and it did not have these comments. Actually now that I realised I can do this already with OneUpdater, I don't actually need a direct download. A link to releases is great too as it will state changes made to the workflow in there. But I might try to write something like this in the future. I stumbled on goreleaser recently which I think is really awesome for automating releases. First I want to make and release this workflow, I am struggling to understand how to action on items that are put into Feedback structs in your awgo library. But I can do this, with a little bit more reading and reverse engineering. Sadly there is not many workflows made in Go and especially your library and the ones that are made I found to be quite hard to understand. I also don't want to use you alfred workflow library as I really want to learn Go and I quite like the language. Sorry for appearing to not read the docs, I actually really tried to find the answer on my own.

Oh I see now. This makes a lot more sense. Thank you a lot for both your reply and this awesome tool. However I did not see any comments about 'page' option in the the OneUpdater object itself : And from reading OneUpdater forum thread I did not get that 'page' option would work with GitHub releases. This does make a lot more sense now, I am quite happy that I can finally have all my few workflows be auto updating. I posted this here and not in OneUpdater as I just wanted to hear how other people release their workflows and perhaps share their scripts they use to make this process easier.

One thing that I really find annoying is that if I wanted to use @vitor's OneUpdater node to auto update my workflows, I have to put the workflow itself inside the repository. Not only that, I have to link this same new workflow in the updated release on GitHub repo of the workflow. The only problem is that is it so painful to do this. Ideally, if the workflow contains some code, I can write this code not in the alfred folder but write it elsewhere and either use this command if I am writing the workflow in Go or this script written by @deanishe. Is it possible to do this : 1. I have a workflow like this one which I just updated. 2. To release the update, I export it to my Desktop, go to releases on GitHub, write ver number + what was updated and attach the workflow binary 3. And OneUpdater or some other mechanism picks this release up and users get notified. Right now, it seems together with step 1 and 2, I have to export this workflow. Open the workflow directory in Alfred, put the workflow there and push that too. It's not horrible but it would be so much nicer if I didn't have to do that. I mean isn't that what releases are for? I have looked at nearly all workflows that use OneUpdater and they all link to a workflow attached to the repo itself. Can OneUpdater be augmented in some way to watch for new releases and pick an update if it sees 'latest' release being changed on GitHub? That would be so amazing. Although I understand if @vitor, doesn't want to update OneUpdater in this way since he doesn't use GitHub releases at all. I am not too programmer savvy still but I am thinking perhaps OneUpdater can watch a link like this : readonly workflow_url="https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/alfred-my-mind/releases/download/v1.0.1/nikivis.mind.alfredworkflow" and check if v1.0.1 numbers were updated. If they were it would notify the user and grab the latest release? Or there is some really easy solution to this that I don't see. Thank you a lot for any help on this. I would really appreciate it.

I am sharing it as addition to an article I wrote on unix shells. Here is the GitHub page of it. Download can be found in releases.

I have that action. But to access it, you have to activate file actions, then start searching for 'code' then press return. I just thought that you can customise modifier key actions in the file viewer itself.

When you are in Alfred's native file browser like here : It would be amazing if I can set control + return to open the selected file/folder in some application (VS Code for me). Right control + return opens it in Finder. So does cmd + return and opt + return. I can't find anywhere in UI where I can specify what these actions do. I know I can do file action on it and then 'open with...' but I want to skip that step.

Yeah that is what I meant. You can do this but but I just dislike how there will be 'quit' there as query every time I call this object. It would be so much nicer to have a clean query and just a list of applications that are running. It's mostly due to aesthetics and it looking better with the separate object approach.

Oh wow, how did I not notice that. It just said 'default app' there as subtext and I didn't assume you have to do it in this way. But this works, thank you. I actually did try to step back and look at it before asking here.

Here is the workflow I am trying to modify. It is @vitor's workflow but I couldn't find a dedicated alfred post for it so I post here. I wish to open a passed in path I get from this script filter to an application but it doesn't want to open for some reason. This control modifier is what I want to get working. The passed in path seems to be in good shape as I tried to pass the output to clipboard to check. Not sure why it doesn't work.

I want to trigger it even when I am not nearby a text field.

I use this feature very often and would really love to assign a hotkey to it. I can emulate opening of alfred and typing 'Q ' to it and then start typing what app I want to quit but this is quite ugly. Ideally I wish I could just have 'quit apps' object and on entering it I get a list of all active applications like here but without 'Q' in input : This would be really wonderful to have. Thank you.

This makes sense, thank you. I will try to move to Alfred's native filtering options since I can actually make a KM macro to quickly change these filters : Is it okay that I lowercase the workflow name without changing any text or that too will interfere with OneUpdater? I have this really bad OCD about having everything consistent and lowercasing workflows for me is something that brings consistency to my setup.

The one above is version from Packal. The one attached to this forum actually has the workflow itself although it is broken :

Hey @vitor I don't understand how to use this since downloading the workflow there is only one object there 'Update' : And clicking on it writes this in debugger : [2017-06-29 12:58:37][ERROR: action.script] 'remote_info_plist' (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vitorgalvao/alfred-workflows/master/t: temporaryemail/source/info.plist) appears to not be reachable.

@Andrew, here is a simple workflow with a list filter : https://transfer.sh/Y0bqg/time.alfredworkflow In there too 'LA check' doesn't get searched for.

I have a list filter that looks like this : However search ing for 'LA check' returns nothing : Here is a small screencast too to showcase the bug.

Awesome. Thank you @vitor. I noted it down finally. Is there a better way though to go from one list filter to multiple or is this the only way?

I want to use my script I wrote in this workflow. I am thinking however what the best way to do this is. Here is the workflow and how I plan to do it. I create a list filter of my triggers and pass an argument to the filter : Which filters according to the argument what list filter to run. I can't however for the life of me remember how to clean the query being passed. @vitor told me a trick once for that but I search all over the forum for it and can't find it. My two questions are how can I clean the query from the filter and whether there is a better way to do what I am trying to achieve? Thank you for any help.
