... yes, it did. Thanks again!

 

Regarding the placement of the year: Sadly, when the number of authors is high (not uncommon in my field), the year is not displayed, because it is displayed on the right side. Would you maybe consider displaying it on the left side like in this Pubmed workflow: http://www.alfredforum.com/topic/478-pubmed-searches/?p=2384 (e.g., "2013: Author1, Author2, etc")?

 

Best,

In my field of science you have only a few authors. Anyway, new version 1.4

Bye, Sebastian

Please download again. There was another issue that I have fixed now. Maybe it cures also your problem. 

This workflow is awesome, it was a major reason for me to make the switch from LaunchBar to Alfred, thanks, Sebastian!

 

I have two requests:

 

1. Could you maybe put the publication year into the output? Maybe instead of the "Authors: " in the beginning of the second line?! That would help me a lot, as I often know an author and year, but not the exact title...

 

2. Related: Could you maybe adapt the search so that the year field is searched also? When I search for "author somewordfromtitle", I get the result I want, when I search for "author year", I do not get anything...

 

Thanks for your great work!

Dear Januz,

I incorporated your ideas. Please get the new version (1.3) here:

BibDesk_Search.alfredworkflow

and let me know how it works. I have put the date info to the end of the subtitle string but I think that you can live with it. 

Bye

Sebastian

Same here, everything works with the latest version. Thanks.

Same here. Doesn't work for me :/

The same here, I cannot click / select items. It seems *not* to be related to the "valid" property. I checked that but any other debugging I did not do so far. 

I will have a look but I cannot promise anything. I do not use VPN Tracker myself since IPSec and PP2P are directly supported by Mac OS.

Does VPN Tracker support Applescript?

Excellent.  Could this be extended to allow keyword searches?

Sure, I have updated the workflow:  BibDesk_Search.alfredworkflow. I also fixed a bug that sometimes occured if the library contained a paper with only one author. Enjoy your papers!

Hey Sebastian,

 

Nice work. Thanks!

 

Out of interest, why are you returning the external IP address of the computer your using to connect to the VPN? This isn't required for the workflow to complete and is really slowing the workflow down (taking roughly 5 seconds to return the IP).

 

Cheers,

Ollie

Dear Ollie, 

I obtain the new IP address via a web download and this is rather slow. It is not really important but I like to see the new address.

I modified the workflow in version 1.1 such that it does not slow down the process anymore. Only the notification is delayed such that the new IP address has time to become active. Is this more convenient?

My Caffeinate workflow (post 11) has been updated to include Alleyoop updates.

Shawn, did you give my worklfow a try? I don't think that two keywords for starting/stopping are necessary. 

The VPN_Toggle workflow has been updated to include Alleyoop updates and it shows the current ip address. 

The BibDesk Search workflow has been updated to include Alleyoop updates.

The LaTeXiT workflow has been updated to include Alleyoop updates.

Hi everyone.

 

I made a quick workflow that allows you to search/open your GIT repositories directly in Sourcetree. It searches through your Sourcetree bookmarks file and displays autocomplete results.

 

If you're interested, you can get it here: https://github.com/dajoho/sourcetree-alfred-workflow

Very nice, thank you. The script did not work for me until I removed the quotes (" ") around {query} in the script. This is the case because Alfred takes already care of escaping:

open -a SourceTree {query} 

I love the idea of this, but it doesn't appear to work for me.

I have updated the LaTeXiT workflow. It checks now for the LaTeXiT installation and whether access for assistive devices is enabled. This should cover the main sources for problems.

Can you check the new version? Does it work for you? Is LaTeXiT installed? Does it work on its own? What about "assistive devices"?

I use a similar workflow based on that shell code fragment: 

man -t {query} | open -f -a Skim

as proposed in the Skim FAQ. Maybe somebody else likes this too

Dear all, 

I have written a simple workflow "LaTeXiT" (using Applescript) that sends its argument to LaTeXiT that generates a PDF (or image) from that. Enjoy.

Sebastian

Maybe you want also to try this one: http://www.alfredforum.com/topic/191-workflow-for-vpn-services/

I made a similar workflow based on caffeinate. I polished the worklow and uploaded it since there seems to be interest: 

Caffeinate.alfredworkflow

There is only one keyword "caff" which starts and stops caffeinate depending wether it is running in the background.

Feel free to improve, criticize or take the code for something else...

I extended the worklow to allow fuzzy searches in the author and title field. Furthermore you can use the [cmd] and [alt] modifier keys to copy the citekey or open the pdf in your favourite viewer instead of Bibdesk.

BibDesk_Search.alfredworkflow

Hey,

many people here seem to be interested in searching (academic) publications, see e.g. jstor, pubmed. I have written a simple workflow that searches your local BibDesk library based on Spotlight. This makes finding your PDFs much easier

Download here: BibDesk_Search.alfredworkflow or via alfpt. 

Bye

Sebastian

Update 2013-03-25: Recent Version is 2.1 (see thread below)

Here is the related Post: 

http://www.alfredforum.com/index.php?/topic/191-workflow-for-vpn-services/

Let me know, if an additional feature is necessary...

Regarding your problem: You have to filter your results by yourself.

Your script filter should check in the loop "for p in "${arr[@]}" whether "p" includes "{query}" and only return those items.

Did anyone find a solution for this? Actually it would be nict to concat searches

enter keyword1+parameter1 -> enter (keyword2+)parameter2

do something with parameter1 and parameter2.

I am not sure what is best. I personally prefer to use the .ssh/config. Hence I wrote my own small workflow

SSH_Quick_Connect.alfredworkflow

Hi Tom,

the ssh worklflow is already quite handy but it would be much better if it reads the file "~/.ssh/config" where you can define shortcuts and preferences for servers. I think it makes no sense to maintain two server lists. What do you think?

Bye

Sebastian
