    Junction with modifiers

    in Workflow Help & Questions

    Posted · Edited by zsteir

    Hi Deanishe,

    Sorry, but I wonder if you can help a bit more. I'm sorry for the newbie question. I am working with a python script that output an XML (using your Workflow library). It prepares a dictionary like this, where the values have been extracted previously from a text file, etc.

     

    <EDIT>: after digging around a bit more, I suspect that I am using a Workflow library that is too old. I guess I need the V2 branch. I'll try to figure out how to add it...

    </EDIT>

     

     _dict = {'title': title,
          'uid': _arg, 
          'valid': True, 
          'arg': _arg,
          'subtitle': sub
          }

    After your previous suggestion, I found the example XML file for a script filter of this kind, which recommends using something like this:

     

    <item uid="home" arg="~/" valid="NO" autocomplete="Home" type="file">
    <title>Home Folder</title>
    <icon type="fileicon">~/</icon>
    <subtitle>Home folder ~/</subtitle>
    <subtitle mod="fn">Subtext when fn is pressed</subtitle>
    <subtitle mod="ctrl">Subtext when ctrl is pressed</subtitle>
    <subtitle mod="alt">Subtext when alt is pressed</subtitle>
    <subtitle mod="cmd">Subtext when cmd is pressed</subtitle>
    <quicklookurl>https://www.alfredapp.com/</quicklookurl>
    <mod key="shift" subtitle="New subtext when shift is pressed" valid="yes" arg="shiftmod"/>
    <text type="copy">Text when copying</text>
    <text type="largetype">Text for LargeType</text>
  </item>

    But I can't seem to figure out to properly add additional items to _dict.

     

    When I use, for example:

     

         _dict = {'title': title,
                    'uid': _arg, 
                    'valid': True, 
                    'arg': _arg,
                    'subtitle': sub,
                    'subtitle mod=\"cmd\"' : "whatever",
                    }

    I get an error "unexpected keyword argument ". It is ultimately sent to Alfred like, this, with prep_res being the array of _dict(s), I think. What generates the error is the add_item.

     

    for item in prep_res:
        wf.add_item(**item)
        wf.send_feedback()

     

    I'm sure I'm not constructing the dict properly, but I'm afraid I'm in over my head. The entire script is here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/565419/bibquery.py.

     

    Ideas? Many thanks.

    Hi all,

    I've got a query to search BibDesk (based on BibQuery by Hackademic). See pic HERE. The topmost trigger "bb", can call some of the other trigger "ba" and "bt" (which I do using applescript). However, "bb", "ba", and "bt" share most of their actions. Right now, this results in a mess. But using a junction doesn't help, since it doesn't allow for modifier.

     

    Is there anyway to create some sort of junction that allows for modifiers?

     

    Thanks.
