I didn't find the PM option (maybe because I'm new to the forum). So I'll just put what I got from the clipboard here:

 

Test results:

 

And I did not get any notification.

Well I'm sorry I have no idea what's wrong, it looks like your system refuses to execute applescript. Do your other installed workflows work correctly?

The workflow is installed. When I type rtest I do see the "Test Reminders Workflow" action in the list.

Well that's a good sign. Actioning the test reminders workflow option should copy some text to the clipboard after a few seconds (it should also notify you when it's done that.) Can you pm me with whatever comes out?

It doesn't seem to work for me. For example if I put the command rtest nothing happens. rshow sends me to a google search.

 

If I for exemple try  r in 5 minutes drop everything after I enter it nothing a happens, and five minutes later nothing happens either.

 

Thankss

Sounds like the workflow isn't installed/activated. When you type rtest, do you see the "Test Reminders Workflow" action in the list?

I know it's pre-release etc etc, but thought it best to log this in any case.

When running full screen with multiple monitors in OS 10.9, Alfred always shows on the primary screen rather than the active one. 

This in itself is not a problem, however when using clipboard history for example, it pastes to the wrong window.

Hi,

 

 For some reason this does not work for me. When script ran from Terminal, I get following: 

osa: script error: Can’t get application id "com.apple.RemoteDesktop". (-1728)

Any suggestion to fix?

Looks like you might need to reinstall Remote Desktop. Which version do you have?

It's been happening with radd as well.

 

Awesome work nonetheless. No real biggie just wanted to see if it was just me or not.

Can you run "rtest" and pm me the results?

I cannot add a reminder on a specific date with the newest version of this workflow.

 

 

Hi, please refer to the original post for examples of how the command needs to be structured (or use "r help" in alfred).

Thanks, it works. I suppose I was typing slowly and when I saw the"Add remember" disappearing I just stopped, thinking it was not working

I'll look into the possibility of just disabling invalid commands rather than making them disappear.

Hello

How do I make it work on a french system? For the moment it does not understand  r tomorrow  or r at 9. As soon as I type the w of tomorrow "Add reminder" disappear for search google. I suppose I must use a mixture of english and french

Well you have to type "r tomorrow something" for it to work. Try "r help" for some examples of what to type.

Is there any way to parse it so the year is not required?

Nope, sorry this is one for Apple. "5/10 is not a date applescript understands".

I'll consider porting that part of the code to PHP instead, but only if there's enough people requesting this to make it worth the effort.

This was a great workflow, thank you for building it. I'd love to see some more flexibility in what you can enter, e.g. r thursday 3.30pm, rather than needing to include AT every time etc, but otherwise, I'll be using it a lot. 

Unfortunately that's just not going to happen, as the code is currently at the point where I don't want to add more complexity to the interpretation system if it's not needed, not to mention that building a decent natural language interpreter in applescript is just too hard for me

Hi, thank you for the reply. You are correct it does not work, it shows it at 12:00am.

 

"r tomorrow at 10am to test workflow" works correctly.

 

The current date line from rtest is:

Current date: Tuesday, May 7, 2013 4:28:53 PM

so it looks like 

r on 5/10/13 10:00 am to test reminder workflow

(note the space before "am") might work in your case.

This is somewhat out of my control because date formats will vary between systems, so I just use applescript to figure out the date based on what you type. I'm in the UK, so "10/5/13 10:00" works for me. For things like "tomorrow at 10:00", etc. I've coded the time calculations myself, so I know how they should behave.

Hi, 

 

Thank you for this as it is very useful, but I am either unable to, or it is not yet supported, add a reminder with the following format.

 

r on 5/10/13 at 10am to test reminder workflow

 

it parses the 5/10/13 correctly, but it always shows 12am instead of 10am. i tried 10:00, 10am, 10 am. also, is there a way to default the year to the current year if its not there so I can just input 5/10 instead of 5/10/13?

 

thank you.

so this _should_ work, but probably doesn't in your case:

r on 5/10/13 10:00 to test reminder workflow

Can you run "rtest", paste the results into a document, and then post the "Current date" line. This will tell me how your system formats (and interprets) dates, and we can go from there.

Does anyone have any issues with your reminders being truncated?

 

Example:

 

"r Create a long reminder to see if the reminder works" may come up as "Create a long remind" instead.

 

Sometimes it does it, sometimes it doesn't. I can't duplicate it. I ran the rtest and everything comes up ok

For me it works, so it's not an issue with the parser.

Two things spring to mind:

1. Does this occur if you just use the "radd" keyword instead of "r"?
2. Is reminders open or closed when you attempt to add the keywords.

Updated the theme to reflect changes to the site it's based on.

Would it be possible to add relative dates such as 

"remind tomorrow to ..."

"remind on Friday to..."

"remind on thursday at 3pm to ..."

Here, friday refers to next friday, thursday to next thursday... That would be great because I am not very good in calculating the date of next saturday instantly (part of the problem being that I often don't know today's date). 

As @roccitman says, this is already possible. From the advanced usage section on the first post:

• r today release the hamsters into the wild
• r tomorrow bring about financial ruin upon my enemies
• r thursday have a banana
• r thursday at 15.30 to ask some difficult questions

I believe spotlight "cheats" in some way to do this. If you try your spotlight search in a finder window rather than the spotlight icon on the menubar, you'll see it doesn't actually find any notes.

I *can* make the workflow show your notes in alfred, but as I said, it would be kind of pointless because you can't make them actually open up.

Hi, this is maybe stupid question, but how to search notes from Alfred? I'm not able to figure it out.

That's not possible, at least not with this workflow. I thought about adding this feature, but the problem is there would be now way to actually "open" a specific note in the notes app, which would be really lame.

Hi Jack,

I may be missing something but I can't make insertion in a specific list work anymore.

If I write 

r tomorrow at 10:00 to test list Backlog

shouldn't it insert "test" reminder into the list Backlog?

 

Thanks

Gaetano 

You want:

r tomorrow at 10:00 to test in backlog list

Excellent! What tools did you use to debug those scary applescripts? I found myself very frustrating on writing applescript. LOL

Well I'd use Script Debugger if it wasn't so madly overpriced, so I'm stuck with plain old AppleScript editor. I generally just copy and paste different blocks of code into new scripts when I want to test them. Having created the "rtest" parameter also has proved to be a big help.

Looks like I can't PM yet but here's a droplr link for you: http://d.pr/n/ibpv

Awesome. Grab the latest version, should be fixed now.

Wow, I must have messed something up. Now it comes up with a list of tasks that I can mark as done: http://d.pr/i/VBYU

can you run "rtest" and pm me the results?

Odd. This is what I get when I try to milk the goat: http://d.pr/i/thdE

oh! does it work if you try it without "tomorrow"?

I'm new to Alfred and workflows so if this is a newbie question forgive me.

 

I installed the R workflow and attempted to create a new reminder by entering "r Call Dr Hurley today at 11am"

 

Nothing happened.

 

I run OSx Lion 10.7.5 and have Reminders embedded in iCal - not stand alone app.  I have two Reminders list in iCal, one exchange and one iCloud.  Neither are populating when I run command.  

 

Any assistance appreciated.

Thanks and I really appreciate the time and effort you've put into making all of our lives a bit easier.

When you say "nothing happened", did you get a notification in Alfred, below what you were typing, of what was going to happen?

Did you get any messages via growl after pressing enter (if you have growl installed)?

Edit: I think I see what you're saying. This workflow is only for the standalone reminders app. I don't think you'll see anything in ical.

In itunes, audiobooks do not show up under "albums". In Alfred, they do.
