If Chrome accepts the URL, then you can pass it directly to Chrome by running:

 

#!/bin/zsh
/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome 'https://www.youxuan68.com/search.asp?keyword=%u5948%u5B66'

 

But I don't think it will ever work with Open URL because Apple's libraries simply won't accept that URL. Try the following in an Xcode Swift Playground:

 

import Foundation

let URLs = [
    // test URL
    "https://www.alfredforum.com",
    // your invalid URL
    "https://www.youxuan68.com/search.asp?keyword=%u5948%u5B66",
    // properly URL-encoded
    "https://www.youxuan68.com/search.asp?keyword=%25u5948%25u5B66",
]

for str in URLs {
    if URL(string: str) != nil {
        print("  valid: \(str)")
    } else {
        print("invalid: \(str)")
    }
}

 

/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome 'https://www.youxuan68.com/search.asp?keyword=%u5948%u5B66'

Above command works, although it's not a perfect solution.

Thanks!

It's not judgement, it's fact. %uXXXX escaping is non-standard. Sure, Chrome may support it, but macOS doesn't.

 

 

The standards are, and they say your URL is not valid.

 

 

I already told you: fix the URL so it's valid.

 

Chrome may accept it if you paste it directly into the browser, but macOS APIs will not accept your URL. Because it's not valid.

I am not the developer of that site, I can not change the url.

But I pay for alfred.

Maybe,

alfred can be compatile to this situation, for his paid user, like chrome?

Alfred is encoding it because that's not a valid URL. You can't get Alfred to open that URL without it encoding the %-signs to make the URL valid, and I don't think macOS will do it either.

 

You need to encode your URLs properly. %uXXXX escaping is not valid.

I can open the URL in Chrome, why you judge the url is not valid?

Alfred is more AUTHORITATIVE than Chrome?

https://www.youxuan68.com/search.asp?keyword=%u5948%u5B66

The URL is just here, anyone can tell me how to open it by alfred?

Or Alfred is used to refuse customer‘s requirement by fictitious reason?

I want to open following url in alfred with "Open URL ",

https://www.youxuan68.com/search.asp?keyword=%u5948%u5B66

but alfred ALWAYS urlencode it, and url become

https://www.youxuan68.com/search.asp?keyword=%25u5948%25u5B66

Which is the WRONG url.

I also tried "Run Script Action" with

open "https://www.youxuan68.com/search.asp?keyword=%u5948%u5B66"

but I got 

Unable to interpret 'https://www.youxuan68.com/search.asp?keyword=%u5948%u5B66' as a path or URL

Who can help me, please.

It really make me stuck.

Sounds a good though, just a little inconvenient for user to add new gif and preview gif list while choosing,

so such feature really needs official support, and looking forward to official support of alfred ~!

I suggest alfred support workflow auto download and auto update

details as follows,

* a config file, whose each item corresponding a workflow

* each item contains: download addr(github addr)、current version get addr(github addr)、etc.

* auto download, add a new item to the config file, then alfred auto download new workflow and install

* auto update, alfred workflow check for update everyday and auto update background

by this way, user could use workflow more conveniently.

I knew that pack, that only could input unicode emoji, gif and png is not supported.

I added the example in post.

Thank you for your advice, Java is slow indeed.

"hello world" in Java spends 160ms.

"hello world" in shell script spends only 4ms.

really a large gap between them.

Thank you for your advice~!

How to close this issue?

I found the option, thank you ~

Snippets please support gif and image~! So I can input image emoji by snippets.

In China, It's popular to send emoji while chatting online, if alfred snippet support image and gif, it will earn many Chinese user!!

example:

While input "!jump", I hope it become flowing gif

Please support Java in workflow ~~!

Since I'm a java programmer and I'm familiar with Java, if I want to write a complex workflow using python, then I will spend a lot of time to learn python and all kind of library, it's really inconvenient.

There are more and more Java programmer, so please support Java in workflow ~!
