    That keyboards looks sweet! Regarding getting the battery status I'm not sure. Even if there is some way to get those details technically, I'd have no way to check and test it out because I don't own those devices. So this may not be possible at the moment. The iPhone status sounds like a good idea, I'll dig around and see if I can come up with something. Again, no promises!
  2. Benzi
    That is possible; although, at the moment, since both workflows have the same keyword "battery", I'd have to change both workflows. Keeping the old one as is, I'll modify this version to include those battery details (cycle count and health mainly). I'll share an updated version soon
  3. Benzi
    No, unfortunately not at the moment. This should be possible though, with some sort of background app/daemon that subscribes to battery level notifications via OS X; sadly, I don't have enough know how to implement something like that yet. (maybe if I get some free time...)

    Just another quick way to look at the battery levels of your connected Apple devices: Keyword is battery. Download from here. Credits to a script found here: http://www.macosxtips.co.uk/geeklets/system/battery-status-for-apple-wireless-keyboard-mouse-and-trackpad

    The latest version is much faster compared to the previous versions (at least on my system), so that's great (...and yay for adding togglefullscreen). If you need Alfred to learn about the most frequently used options, you need to set a uniquely identifiable "uid" attribute for each of the item nodes in the generated xml in layout_select.py. I have sent a pull request via GitHub so that you can get an idea of what I mean. This will enable you to type "lay" in Alfred and have the most used items listed as the first results. E.g I happen to use toggle full screen a lot for some reason, and now I can just key in "lay" and the first option is "Toggle full screen mode" by default.

    Hi there, if possible could you run the following command in Terminal and PM me the output? ioreg -l -n AppleSmartBattery -r

    Pretty neat! Any possibility of extending this to support Full Screen apps (e.g. Chrome on OS X Lion)? Perhaps options to enter/exit/toggle full screen mode?

    I did contact the developers of Radium and requested them to see if they can expose more functionality so that I can use them in this workflow. Fingers crossed they make the updates . As of now, what you can do with Radium using AppleScript is very limited...

    A little update after a long time - added temperature reading, serial number and battery age. Did some work updating the icons too. Download via here.

    And if you really like the old v2 style icon (which I prefer myself too, to be honest), here's a version to help you get started: Download the modified workflow here.

    Sure, if you are happy editing a workflow: you need to select the workflow in Alfred Preferences, and select the "Show in Finder" option from the left hand side section. That will open the workflow folder which contains .PNG files - the icons the workflow uses, which you can replace with anything of your choice. (The PNG file names need to remain the same).

    Added an alternate version, that shows you the track info, station info, and lets you play/pause the station. Keyword is "r " Download from here.

    First of all, credit due to @phyllisstein and his suggestion and workflow for Alleyoop. This workflow is just my personal take on a workflow updater based on Alleyoop, made for fun. Keyword is mp, then select an option listed. Listing compatible workflows will display all workflows with Alleyoop support: Checking for updates will list all available updates, you can Download all of them, or each one individually. Downloads are saved to your Downloads folder. Information related to workflow updates are cached for a day/until the next time you log in. Use the reset cache option to clean this up so you can force an update check. View log will open the folder that contains the Monkey Patch log. Download from here.

    Todo now incorporates beta support for Remember the Milk. What this means is that while you can now use Todo and Remember the Milk together, Todo will not be a full fledged replacement for Remember the Milk - Todo does not support features like recurring tasks, multiple tags, moving items between lists etc. which are available on RTM. That being said, if you wish to use Todo primarily and use RTM as the service to save your lists, this should work out. To enable this feature: Type in features and select the Remember The Milk (beta) option Go to your list view with the keyword list, and you will have an option called [Authorize Todo], which you should select. This will open up RTM in a browser and prompt you to provide access. Once you provide access, go back to list view. Now you will see an option [Load Lists] which you can select, and Todo will populate your RTM lists If all went well, your list view should look something like: From there, you can select any list, and proceed to work with Todo as normal. Underlying changes will be synced with RTM automatically. You can select [Refresh Lists] to fullt refresh all synced data. Note: some things are pending and will be available in due course - deleting RTM lists, creating a new RTM list, etc. Update via Alleyoop or download from here.

    This is a little utility workflow that allows you to shrink your PNG files. The workflow uses the service provided by http://tinypng.org, which also explains what exactly happens when PNG files are shrunk. You need an active internet connection for this to work. Included in this workflow are File Actions (action: Shrink with TinyPNG), File Filters (keyword: tinypng) and a configurable Shortcut. Once you select a PNG file / or files and invoke the workflow, it will create a backup of your original file with the prefix "original_" and then compress your file using the web service. To get an idea of the savings, the image above was shrunk using the workflow to get a savings of 72%. Download. All images in this post were shrunk using the TinyPNG workflow. EDIT: If you are looking for an alternate similar workflow, try this one by @CarlosNZ

    I don't think Wikipedia exposes that sort of information in a way that would make it easy to extract discographies alone. The only closest thing I could find in terms a of development friendly API is http://bandcamp.com/developer, but they have stopped providing API keys. In order to get this information from Wikipedia, I suppose you may need to extract the text of the article, parse it with some Media Wiki parser, and get the relevant sections out - although, having looked at a couple of band pages on Wikipedia, there is no set convention on how discographies are listed, some are in tables, some are in plain lists etc... I may be wrong, but Wikipedia might not be the best / easiest place to get this information programatically.

    This is neat. Bundled up a workflow to search alfredworkflow.com... Noticed that there is a difference between the recommended and backup API - the backup API is more up-to-date rather than the recommended one, whenever I query them. Is that to be expected?
  19. Benzi
    Just a quickly put together workflow to search workflows uploaded at alfredworkflow.com. Usage: aw <search query> to search for workflows Enter will download the workflow Cmd+Enter will take you to the release notes page aw-reset will reset the cache Download: Available here.

    The format keyword missing was an issue with the pre-release. Its fixed with b186 :-)
  21. Benzi
    Included two new preset steps that you can use to create presets: MP3 Tagger (beta): Extract MP3 tags from MP3 files. Supported tags are #artist, #album, #title and #track Regex group extractor: Regex group pattern extractor. You can extract parts of the file name using regex and then use those groups in any way you want. e.g. if your file name is 'this is a test.txt' and you want to move the last word to the first, use the command: (.*) (.*)//$2 $1. The first group matches everything uptil the last space, and the second group matches the last word. The replacement $2 $1 means the last group should come first followed by a space and then the first group. Here are some examples you can download to your custom preset folder to try out: Last Word First MP3 Tagger Mark Files with Underscore Your custom presets are saved in the following location: ~/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/Workflow Data/com.benzi.a2w.bulkrename/user_presets Download the latest version here.

    Weird that the format keyword is not showing... I am also on the pre-release version. When you use the format keyword, it will only set the format for new lists you create... at the moment, it will not re-format your current list. Now that you mention it, it does seem a bit counter intuitive that the current list does not get reformatted automatically - a change for v2.0 perhaps.... I'll test out the export/import flows more.
  23. Benzi
    I added an option to export as CSV. The format is: Column 1 - "important" if the item is pinned else empty Column 2 - task description Column 3 - due date if preset followed by tag name (if different from #default), otherwise empty Check it out and let me know. Currently, it exports data to the desktop, but you can easily change that if needed in the Run Script node of the "Export as CSV" script filter in the workflow.

    I'm not sure what the problem could be. I'm on 10.8.2 at the moment, so will test this out again when I up to 8.3....

    Check out @ctwise's enhanced version that uses ObjC to get the menu contents - its much faster than this version. @ctwise's GitHub repo is here (whole bunch of workflows)
