I'll look into adding support for vienna, thanks for letting me know. I don't use Wunderlist, so it's unlikely you'll get that from me, although I might take a look and see if it Wunderlist is similar to reminders under the hood, which would make porting the code be of little effort. Edit: Wunderlist is not scriptable, so that's a definite no, I'm afraid.

I started out trying to do something along the lines of "r from mail" but then I realised something didn't quite click with it. Maybe it was laziness on my part, but the thought of telling Alfred which application to pull information from seemed like a bit of a bore. So instead, I give you the "r this" keyword. Pop open Alfred, type those 6 characters, and he'll just fish information out of whatever application you're using and turn it into a reminder, and you can use all of the other keywords too! The downside to this is I need to code each application seperately, so right now, it only works with Chrome, Safari and Mail (but he'll tell you if it's an application he's not familiar with) in the latest version. So I put it to you, the loyal usership, to let me know which applications I should add support for.

See the latest version.

The latest version is always available at the bottom of the first post or via my signature.

The latest version of this workflow will now notify you if there's a newer version available. I would strongly recommend everyone updates to this new version.

I've looked into this, and although it should be possible to implement a way around this, most of the methods I could come up with involve storing the password in plain text somewhere, which presumably is not an option for you as this would be less secure than storing it in the keychain. The other possibility is having you type something along the lines of "rd 192.1 password mypassword" when you want to connect, I don't know if it'll be worth doing? Let me know.

I've noticed that when using a script trigger, alfred will evaluate the entire script from the first character typed in an argument, but the user can continue to type and the script will keep reevaluating. However, I'm trying to build in functionality so that, if on the first keystroke the script will run for a long time, subsequent instances of the script will skip the long processing steps, at least until the initial processing is complete. I've implemented it like so: Check if long_process needs to run, based on a flag in a plist file If long_process needs to run, set the flag in the plist and start long_process once long_process is complete, clear the flag If long_process doesn't need to run, start short_process (to provide feedback to user) However this doesn't work. It appears that short_process will never run, despite multiple keystrokes being entered. How can I make it work, or at least somehow run the long process on a different thread?

Interesting idea, I'll look into it.

I'm afraid I can't replicate this, for me it works properly: EDIT: Found it. It's when you use the "in list" pattern.

That's definitely a bug. I'll get it fixed.

Can you give me an example of what you're typing into Alfred that's not working?

I'll look into adding those. The reason for this is Alfred will periodically need to fetch the current reminders. If you're noticing that he doesn't seem to recognize the command, you might need to wait a bit for him to catch up. You can actually change how often he checks in the workflow itself, by changing property cacheExpires : 2 * minutes to whatever you want (it needs to be changed in the "Script Filter" step). I'll also look into the possibility of still correctly showing the "add reminder" prompt even whilst this check is happening.

You will notice it's still opening (in the background) whilst it's fetching or creating reminders, but it should revert to whatever state it was once it's done.

It _should_ be ok now, but I've added an alternate link just in case.

See the latest version.

I did look into this but it seems it's not possible to access reminders' locations via applescript.

I'll look into it.

This should be fixed in the latest version.

I believe this is purely dependent on your system settings. When I (in the UK) type ''r on 02-04-13 07:30 to Toilet schoonmaken'' it adds the reminder at 7.30am. Check system preferences > Language & Text > Region > Times

I still don't follow. As per the original post, there are already a variety of ways to set the date for a reminder. Please give me an example of what you're trying to type.

Good catch. Updated the workflow.

That's a good point actually. I'll add a note in the description.

Sorry I'm not sure what you mean. You can already use "r today something", what do you want in addition to that?
