  1. If you download and fix that bug, I'll happily update it to a newer version.. otherwise, maybe I'll take a crack at it later tonight.

     

    Update 4:16 PM : I found the bug, and fixed it.. apparently "MacBookPro11,3" wasn't in the HardwareIcons.xml .. I added it.  If anyone has any other ID's, let me know and we can add them too.

    My iMac 14,2 is still not showing the hardware icon ... but it wasn't broke with my workflow.

  2. I made a modification to this workflow to improve how it turns the Model Identifier into a text string (it was incorrectly reporting my 2015 Macbook Retina as a mid 2011 MAcbook), and uploaded it to packal : http://www.packal.org/workflow/about-mac

     

    I'm kinda new to Packal and this is my first bundle, so let me know if I did something wrong.

     

    Thanks for this ... one issue, I don't get my Hardware Icon with this.  But I do like your changes and the fact you've put it on Packal!

  3. Reveal the file in Finder by pressing CMD+Return in Alfred ... then delete the bookmark.  It will be in the path:

     

    ~/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari/Bookmarks/

     

    Once removed it will no longer show up in Alfred. No idea why it stays there, even after deletion and clearing Safari's History ... but alas, it does.

  4. Hmm, interesting.  I'm not sure how Alfred handles the URL for searches, but in my testing it looks like you will have to convert the characters first in a workflow, or at least remove the first "http://" with parsing ... because "example.com" works ok.

     

    This MAY be a feature request for Alfred ... to internally parse out those characters

  5. Here is an AppleScript that polls System Events for all running apps and pops up a list for you to choose which apps to quit:

    tell application "System Events"
    set processList to ¬
      (name of every process where background only is false) & ¬
      (name of every process whose ¬
       (name is "AppName") or ¬
       (name is "AnotherAppName"))
    tell me to set selectedProcesses to choose from list processList with prompt "Select process(es) to quit:" with multiple selections allowed
    end tell
    if the result is not false then
    repeat with processName in selectedProcesses
      tell application processName to quit
    end repeat
    end if

    You can select multiple apps to quit by using the ⌘ or ⇧ keys as well.

     

    Just make a new workflow and pipe a hotley or keyword into the script above.

     

    Original found HERE

  6. IF you didn't already know, Alfred has an option to check for updates, either "Updates" or "Pre-Releases" in the update tab.

    As far as other apps, if the app does not have an automatic update checker built in, it MAY have an Apple Script dictionary entry to check for regular updates.

    Another option is to use GUI Scripting, but you may need to use a UI Browser screen reader to find the actual item depending on the app: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16492839/applescript-on-clicking-menu-bar-item-via-gui-script

  7. Jorge, do you happen to use the Project Management Tool "Wrike"?  Some folks have noticed that the plugin it installs results in exactly your issue.  If so, update Wrike, and if it still doesn't work, write to them about it.
