Hi,

if you have the Powerpack, you can create a custom workflow which opens two (or more) URLs:

You use one input and connect it to multiple URL-open Actions.

I created a new User and it works fine with this account.

Seems that something's wrong with my Mac User Profile.

Sorry for bothering you.

Same thing with Safari.

I played around a bit: If I use the Alfred Google Search for the term "%C3%B6", the 25's are added, too:

"ö" itself works fine here.

Firefox 26.0

Here's an example:

Alfred v2.1.1 (227)

OSX 10.9.1 with German keyboard

The characters ö, ä and ü are replaced with e.g. %C3%B6 using the imdb search command.

Google search and the other commands I tested work fine.

Best regards.

added "on mach 12" etc.

The last version was a bit buggy so it would be good to use the new one.

 Enter things like '2 days', 'mar 13', 'next monday'.

added next monday - sunday

march 13 etc will follow this weekend.

Thanks a lot for this. It would be fantastic to have natural language ability here. Enter things like '2 days', 'mar 13', 'next monday'. Not sure how difficult that is though. Thanks again!

Ok, I added days, weeks, months and years. It should work like this:

This will be added in 7 days::Alfred is great

It creates a task with

This will be added

You have to add it at the end of the task (not at the end of the note) with an " in " in front of it.

The other stuff like next monday etc will be added soon.

Thanks for the updates!  I'd really like to see the addition of tag support as mentioned in my first post in this thread, as I use this all the time in the original and it is the last thing keeping me from fully transitioning to Alfred 2

Sorry, I made a mistake. Truth is that it's working, but just with tags which already existed in Things. When I tried it the first time, nothing happend because I tested it with a random word. So if you use existing tags, it will work.

OK, I'll take a look at this.

Added a second keyword. So there are 2 possibilities now:

1.)

task syntax:

<the task itself> [project name/area name] ::<notes>  >+<due date as days left>

If you use >x instead of >+x it will set the x of the next month as due date, e.g. >2 is 2 of April.

2.)

task2 syntax:

<task> ::<note>

After pressing enter the quick entry panel pops up:

with the task and note filled in.

At the moment, it works with

name [project name/area name] ::note

I'm a bit busy right now but I will try to add the rest this weekend.

I did not use duedate and startdate, did it work like day/month/year?

I created a little script to add tasks to Things based on the old one for Alfred v1.

The syntax is

First keyword:

task:

#tag1 #tag2 name [project name/area name] in x days/weeks/months/years::note

and

#tag1 #tag2 name [project name/area name] next monday/.../sunday::note

and

#tag1 #tag2 name [project name/area name] on january/../december <day as number>::note

Second keyword

task2:

<task> ::<note>

This opens the quick entry panel:
