  1. For some reason Alfred (v3.3.2) can't find Xcode on my macOS Sierra MBP (10.12.5).

     

    I installed Xcode normally via the App Store to /Applications. I also tried to reset the Alfred search scopes, but that didn't help.

     

    As far as I can tell, Xcode is the only application that Alfred can't find (aside from the other developer tools in /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Applications)

  2. I didn't really like any of the existing Pushbullet workflows, so I made my own. Say hello to AlfredBullet:

    Pushbullet is an app and service that lets you send links, text and other content between your devices (iOS, Android, Mac, Windows, etc).

     

    The workflow is available for download on GitHub and (experimentally) Packal:

     

     

  3. I can confirm that the Alfred script runner launches a process like this:

    matt            3225   0.1  0.0  2434120   1920   ??  Ss    7:18PM   0:00.01 /usr/bin/ruby -e #!/usr/bin/env ruby^J# encoding: utf-8^J^J# myPhoneDesktop for Alfred extension^J# v2.0, 03/ … APP_NAME = "mpd"^JAPP_PATH = "/Applications/myPhoneDesktop.app"…

    As you can see, I've truncated a lot since it is quite long (it contains the entire Ruby script, full entry here: https://gist.github.com/matiaskorhonen/5783255), but the main gist of it is that it contains the "myPhoneDesktop.app" string, so you can just grep for that to find out if the app is actually running…

    Piranhas is a service that lets you compare book prices on five country-specific Amazons (US, Canada, UK, Germany, and France) and Book Depository to find the cheapest store for your books (including shipping and currency conversions).

     

    This Alfred 2 Workflow lets you search for books on Piranhas right from Alfred. Simple use the piranhas keyword with your query as an argument.

     

    You can find an up-to-date download link on this blog post: randomerrata.com/post/50019194178/piranhas-workflow

     

  5. I managed to update the "old" myPhoneDesktop - Send to iPhone extension to an Alfred v2 workflow: randomerrata.com/post/45363184146/send-to-iphone

     

    Note: I am not affiliated with the original author of the extension nor with myPhoneDesktop. I just needed this for myself.

     

    Hopefully someone else will also find this useful.

     

    The original extension had Alfred Extension Updater support, this, for obvious reasons, does not.

  6. I just published an updated, workflow version of my Alfred v1 extension, Airplay via Beamer: randomerrata.com/post/45353268246/airplay-via-beamer-v2

     

    This workflow implements a file action that you can use to Airplay video through Beamer.app (Obviously you'll need to have Beamer installed).

     

    And in case you don't know what Beamer is, here's the description from the Beamer homepage:

     

    The AirPlay Video Player for Mac

    Watch any movie file on your Apple TV without hassle. No need to convert the video or jailbreak your Apple TV. Just open the movie with Beamer and you’re done; the video will start streaming to your Apple TV right away.

     

    This GIF screencast is from the Alfred v1 extension, but the idea remains the same:
