  1. I'm sure I'm preaching to the converted but there are some really easy, useful things you can do with Automation Tasks in a workflow. I'll give you an example.

     

    I have frequently to battle with a reasonably deeply nested menu in Day One in which I can turn off, or on again, smart quotation marks. (Tip: don't have a workflow called Save 'ur… something!). Finally, this morning, realisation slowly dawned. Keyword: dss, linked to:

    Now why didn't I think of that before?

     

    If you suffer from deeply nested, often used, menu items…well, there's a possible solution!

    I killed istat menus and the bowler hat has reappeared.

    While that may have resolved the problem for you I'm not sure why—because I, too, use iStat Menus and can show or hide the Alfred menu bar icon depending on my choice in Alfred Preferences. However, I do use the Bartender menu bar app so maybe it's a mattter, for you, of the quantity of menu bar items rather than any inherent conflict. Just an idea…

  3. Following the difficulties covered in the preceding posts I've released version 1.41 of the workflow. There is no change to the workflow itself but I've added to the ReadMe the following note:

     

    Quote

    The first time you run the workflow you will see a dialog from macOS stating "Alfred would like to control CleanShot X. Grant access to this application?" You must agree to grant access for this workflow to work.

    I found another topic that went through all of this exhaustively on Monterey

    But did you follow all of the steps outlined on the Alfred help page linked earlier in the thread? If not, please do that—following each suggested step carefully (even though you may have done some already).

     

    If you still have problems run one of the files which Alfred cannot find through Alfred's inbuilt troubleshooter (as indicated on the help page) and post the results here.

     

    As you've mentioned Dropbox it will be worth checking you've ensured Dropbox files are made available offline.

  5. Welcome to the forum.

    I recently migrated to a new M3 MacBook pro running Sonoma.

    Did you migrate your apss and preferences using the Migration Assistant.app? If so, have you tried simply re-installing Alfred? (The Migration Assistant is known for sometimes producing rather strange results after it has been used, which is why I asked.)

  6. Welcome to the forum.

     

    Have you tried going to Alfred Preferences → Features → Clipboard History, clicking on the Advanced tab and adding Proton Pass to the list of ignored apps? (I'm assuming there is an app as well as a mere browser extension. If so it may be worth trying that.)

  7. @dit7c1 I'm running more or less the same system as you and CleanShot X does not show in the System Settings Automation list so you don't need to worry about that.

     

    At this stage the only thing I can suggest is to try deleting and re-installing CleanShot X. However, don't do that unless you have a record of your licence key because you'll need that when re-installing.

     

    If you are able to do that run the workflow and you should see CleanShot X asking if you wish to allow Alfred to action it (I don't recall the exact message but there definitely should be some request from the system).

     

    Aside from that I'm afraid I've rather run out of ideas: sorry.

  8. OK - thanks for that test. For the moment I have no idea what causes your problem (sorry!)…but don't give up, we shall sort it somehow!

     

    What I find strange is that this is a very popular and frequently downloaded workflow and nobody has reported a similar problem so there must be something odd about your particular setup. From your debug report the script appears to be doing exactly what it should be doing.

     

    When you first ran the workflow did you receive a system prompt asking you to confirm that Alfred should be allowed to action CleanShot X? If do, did you confirm at that stage? (However, i don't think that is problem because you have said some CleanShot X actions work but others do not—and I can’t think of any logical reason for that.)

    Hi!

    I have updated Alfred to the latest version (Alfred 5.5 Build 2257, Monday 18th March 2024)
    I downloaded your extension from github v1.4, but it doesn't work for me ((

    I run Alfred - I enter csx - and the actions don't work
    Am I doing something wrong, or?

    Thanks

    Apologies for the delay responding: I'm out of the/my country until the end of the week. Please follow the exact instructions in the post preceding this one and someone will tell you why it's not working for you.

  10. I have two thoughts:

    • There are different flavours of markdown and not all (by any means) support that code to place images side by side (and I don't know what flavour of markdown Alfred uses).
    • The size of your images may be too large to permit displaying them side by side.

    Obviously you can test by using suitable small images—and, of course, you can try enlarging the Text View window by using ⌘0 (that's cmd + zero).

  11. The workflow has been updated to version 2.5. It has been re-written as a script filter to take advantage of Alfred 5.5 caching. Alfred now also learns from used items to bring them to the top of the list. The ReadMe is updated, Transfer & Reset was removed as it was not accessible. I have added access to the Software Update panel and Keyboard Shortcuts.

     

    Do note that version 2.5 requires Alfred 5.5 and later. If you are on an earlier version of Alfred please use version 2.0 of the workflow.

     

    As the workflow is on the Alfred Gallery you should be able to update from there within a few days.
