    Apple Music search with Alfred

    in Discussion & Help

    Posted

    I think the ones failing for you are the ones with thumbnail images.

     

    So, please make sure you have the required folders:

    • ~/Library/Caches/com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred-3/
    • ~/Library/Caches/com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred-3/Workflow Data/

    See earlier messages for more about this.

     

    It's always good to read the thread :)

    How long are you waiting?

     

    Queries take 5 to 15 seconds for me.

     

    I've just re-uploaded the version I have here, just in case.

     

    If it's not working after re-downloading one more time, then we'll have to debug:

    1. view the workflow in Alfred
    2. click the bug icon
    3. pop up alfred bar and do a query, eg. song hyperballad 
    4. copy the debug output from main Alfred window to a pastebin/gist
    5. paste a link to it here


    I see this output: https://pastebin.com/raw/yAzL8WRb

    That's not my file, that's a modification by somebody else.

     

    My original files are here: https://www.gingerbeardman.com/alfred/

     

    I just fixed it before my last message.

     

    Also, make sure you search for reasonable terms:

    • song taylor, generates an error somewhere at Apple for whatever reason (invalid resulting data?)
    • song shake it off, returns good results
    • song taylor shake, also good

    Alfred prefs minimum window width too wide for my display

    in Alfred Feature Suggestions

    Posted · Edited by gingerbeardman

    As a workaround I can temporarily change the scaling on my monitor. 

    But I need sharp retina @2x for my work, other scaling factors aren't desirable.

     

    If your Dell monitor was Retina that would be an ideal resolution.

     

    A resizable preference window would be the ideal solution, then users can make the window bigger (to accommodate more complex workflows) or smaller according to their needs/display. I used to fullscreen the app in Alfred 3 days.

     

    Woah, I just found a workaround! If I option-click the green maximise button the window width will decrease past the normal minimum to fit my display. Hurrah!

     

    A few elements extend off the screen on a couple of tabs, but it's totally workable for me.

     

    Please don't change this functionality, if you deem this a bug, LOL

     

    🙏

     

     

    Alfred prefs minimum window width too wide for my display

    Of course, I use a DELL P2415Q Display, that's 24" with a native resolution of (3840 x 2160).

     

    Portrait running at retina resolution (1080 x 1920)

     

    • That's not scaled or zoomed, just standard plug and play "default for display".
    • This is my main display (I'm a programmer and prefer long windows)
    • I have not found any other apps that do not fit this width, let me know if you want me to test any in particular.

     

    As mentioned earlier in this thread, the UI in all previous versions of Alfred was so much more compact than V4.

     

    I'm aware that eventually there will be Alfred V5, which I hope returns to a more accessible - maybe even resizable? - window width.

     

    Thanks for your consideration

    Can Alfred search the Mac Keychain

     May be safer/faster than this scripting addition which seems to have been last updated in 2011.

    Seriously?

     

    I take offence at the viewpoint that if something hasn't been updated recently it must be bad/broken/untrustworthy.

     

    You may not be talking about my workflow, but:

     

    • My workflow was created in 2019
    • It does not use a scripting addition
    • It still works without issue (for me; I use it daily) and that's why it has not been updated
    • It just automates user interactions, so there is no inherent unsafeness about it
    • And it's very fast, not slow at all

    This is a great idea. For what it's worth, I'd definitely donate if you ever upgrade this to work with Catalina (totally get your aversion to it, but it came installed on my new machine so I went with it).

    "I'll donate if you put yourself through a world of pain" that's not how this donation thing works. It should be "here's some money to try to persuade you to solve my problem". IMHO

    seems only artist is working in the latest edition of that workflow? song and album return errors.

    I use album search every day, works for me. See my note about missing directories, and the quote below.

    Stumbled over this post and ran into the same issues that other users have mentioned when running macOS Catalina 10.15.

     

    After running the debug I saw a duplicate error showing a missing directory, so as an experiment, I ran the following in Terminal:

    As I mentioned in my previous post!

    Open Workflow in Preferred Editor

    in Alfred Feature Suggestions

    Posted · Edited by gingerbeardman

    A workaround would be to Open in Terminal, then do a quick command 

    atom .

     to open the workflow folder in your editor.

     

    Or opening in Finder and then, maybe, clicking a toolbar icon to open that folder in your editor.

     

    But I like your idea of allowing a user-configurable external editor.

    Alfred prefs minimum window width too wide for my display

    in Alfred Feature Suggestions

    Posted · Edited by gingerbeardman

    I use a 20" monitor in portrait mode, 1050 x 1680. Apple Cinema Display

     

    The Alfred window is 1180 so does not fit.

     

    I don't mind things getting a little more compress if I was able to resize the window to a narrower width.

     

    Is it possible the minimum window width can be decreased?

     

    Thanks!

     

    ps: I tried changing window placement in plist, but Alfred resets it on launch.
