To keep Packal a bit more open, I used Github as a backend. Github restricts (unless they changed this) unknown filetypes to 10mbs. And, even though `alfredworkflow` files are `zip`, they are still technically unknown.

Is it that the XML is bad because there isn't an appropriate bit of data that is escaped with CDATA?

I'm through and through American. I spent the first many years in Texas and the last decade in New York. But before I had to come into an office, my natural hours didn't quite match up to my timezone. The job has definitely got me working quite a bit with much less downtime to work on my other projects (last weekend, I had to work 28 hours to save a project that was moving past deadline), but I guess this is what I get for working at a publishing company with editorial deadlines. I've been making an effort to carve out time to work on Packal, but a lot the Alfred 3 cha

Sometimes it is near 16 hours a day. It's not quite dead yet.

I just (finally) pushed an update that should make this work out of the box with Alfred 3 as well as 2. Find the update on Packal, and let me know if there are any problems.

Crap. So I need to get back to work (deadline tomorrow; needing to do crap over the weekend). And I didn't manage to refresh my AS quick enough to fix the AS in the configure script. I'll get back to that after I push the final changes on the work deadline. For now, I pushed some changes to the git repo; but I need to get on an old computer with Alfred 2 in order to export it and not break others' installations. Will do that and post here after I fix the AS problem.

The AS just runs a quick pop-up for the configuration, so that problem does not apply. There is no tell Alfred 2 or Alfred 3 in there (unless I'm totally forgetting something from code that I wrote three years ago -- total possibility). (Although you could get around that problem by checking to see if they are installed, and wrapping the tell statements in an if, etc...)

That's exactly what I'm debugging right now... trying to get the system variable and convert it to a path in AS. Damn, it's been a while since I've touched AS.

Damn. Just report these bugs to me, and I'll take care of them. This is an insanely old workflow that existed before the environmental variables were introduced, so I had to hardcode the paths. I'll update them.

I just did a quick fix. It might be working again.

Yep. I figured that's what it was. Amazing that this particular escaping issue hasn't come up until now, especially since it's been there since Sept 15.

It seems like the workflow manifest is corrupt. I'll try to look into it either today or tomorrow.

I might revisit it at some point soon. I do think it is useful, and v2 was close to being done. I have a few other things on my plate before I get back to it.
