    RodgerWW got a reaction from HymanB in Adding today’s date?   
    Hmm, One way I can think of doing this with minimal effort:
     
    Create a new blank workflow.
    Add a Hotkey Trigger, and set the hotkey to whatever you want.
    Add an Action "Run Script" leave everything default (/bin/bash) and paste the following in the Script area:
     
    date "+%y-%m-%d"
     
    Then drag a connector from the right edge of the Hotkey box to the Run Script box
     
    Now, add an Output "Copy to Clipboard" and in the blank box put:
     
    {query}
     
    then select "Automatically paste to front most app"
     
    Now, drag a connector from the Run Script box to the Copy to Clipboard box.
     
    and save
     
    NOW, when you hit your hotkey combo, the date in format {y-m-d} will be pasted wherever your cursor was last.

    Updated the 'HardwareIcons.xml' to include all new hardware found/referenced for icons of machines. This brings the hardware list up to date as of macOS 10.13.2 (17C205)
    This is just for Alfred 3 and the new filename is "AboutThisMac_2018.alfredworkflow", so make sure you are running the latest. This is a rather big update in terms of hardware icon support and I apologize for not doing it sooner folks!

    I found an error in a line of my workflow which on most systems is a lenient one, but on some results in the Human Readable Machine in line 1 of the results to simply not show up. The error also made the links to the support site and hardware specs site not function correctly. I have corrected this line in the workflow.
     
    PLEASE NOTE: On SOME systems, and even on the current build of Mavericks, the plist file the workflow reads from is protected in a slightly different way. This means the permissions need to be changed on the plist. I have included the Terminal instructions in the 'readme' tab of the Workflow. To access this, load Alfred Preferences, Double Click on the Workflow in the left sidebar "About This Mac", and in the window that pops up, click the Readme tab ... and read!

    Fixed a couple minor issues with incorrect selectors in the script. Serial number should show now, and 'GB' after memory size will show again.
     
    Added a system check for those that have multiple computers accessing one workflow folder (thanks DJay for pointing out that not everyone has only one computer).
     
    Removed randomUID generator for items, as the latest version of Alfred2 makes it possible to NOT have to specify unique IDs. SO, if you want an ordered list, please update Alfred to 2.0.3+

    Open Alfred Preferences, click on the 'Features' button at the top, then click on 'Default Results' in the left column.
    Under 'Essentials' in the right pane, 'Preferences' SHOULD be checked. If NOT, then check it.
     
    If it IS checked and 'Print & Scan' does not show up in your results upon typing 'Print' in Alfred, you may have to "Clear Application Cache" or "Rebuild OS X Metadata" ... as found in the 'Advanced' section of Alfred.

    Well, I think I know what you mean and the HOME or ~ is a little weird for me too. It will list the folders in your user directory so that you can grab files and do actions on them ... I think.
     
    Instead: Try opening Alfred, then hit SPACE, then type your name {as it appears in the user folder}.
    Then, Afred lists your root home folder at the top, so simply hit ENTER and it will open the folder in Finder for you.

    RodgerWW got a reaction from jaspalx in Toggle sound output on hotkey with Notification Center output   
    OK, cool. Now I can toggle between my only two used outputs with a shortcut!
     
    I needed to do a tiny bit of modification to the scripting, not just French/English translation, but flow overall, because for ME, the System Preferences would not close after run due to the "return" values within the if statements. I have no idea why really, but with farting around in the Applescript Editor, I modified the initial script as shown below. And now everything works for me, as 'mtlx' stated it should.
     
    MY script looks like this:
     
     
    tell application "System Preferences" reveal anchor "output" of pane id "com.apple.preference.sound" end tell tell application "System Events" to tell process "System Preferences" tell tab group 1 of window "Sound" click radio button "Output" if (selected of row 1 of table 1 of scroll area 1) then set selected of row 2 of table 1 of scroll area 1 to true set deviceselected to "Shure SRH440 Headphones" else set selected of row 1 of table 1 of scroll area 1 to true set deviceselected to "Internal Speakers" end if end tell end tell quit application "System Preferences" return deviceselected   Basically, I removed the two named returns, and at the end of the script simply returned the value set with deviceselected. As far as I know, the value will only be one thing due to the if/else. Now on my system, the hotkey press will simply toggle between my 2 outputs (flashing System Prefs only in the dock for a second, then quitting), and once switched, I get the notification telling me which is active [or selected].

    RodgerWW got a reaction from mklement0 in Edit scripts externally with auto update   
    Would it be possible to have the ability to edit scripts in workflows in an editor of our choice?
     
    Perhaps having one added option in Alfred's prefs to select an 'editor' ... then, when we double click on the script in a workflow, having a button (perhaps beside "open workflow folder") that says "Edit in External Editor."
     
    This would leave the default alone for quick and dirty stuff, yet allow others to load/modify the scripting in any of the multitude of editors out there that have all the color coding, command references and all that jive.
     
    I for one find it a 'tiny' but of a pain having to resize that window every time just to find a line I need to reference. Also, being VERY new to scripts and such, I DO tend to find the color coding helpful at times.

To access this, load Alfred Preferences, Double Click on the Workflow in the left sidebar "About This Mac", and in the window that pops up, click the Readme tab ... and read!

    Added Model Identifier beside system name in top row. SO for MY system it now shows "iMac 27-inch, Mid 2011 (iMac12,2)"

    Fixed a couple minor issues with incorrect selectors in the script. Serial number should show now, and 'GB' after memory size will show again.
     
    Added a system check for those that have multiple computers accessing one workflow folder (thanks DJay for pointing out that not everyone has only one computer).
     
    Removed randomUID generator for items, as the latest version of Alfred2 makes it possible to NOT have to specify unique IDs. SO, if you want an ordered list, please update Alfred to 2.0.3+

    RodgerWW got a reaction from spuder in Google Maps Icon Change   
    At first I was going to suggest perhaps going 'into' the alfred2.app and replacing the icon, but apparently there is just ONE google icon and it's used for both. So, an alternate suggestion, make a custom MAPS search, and use the icon of your choice, disabling the built-in maps search.
     
    I will thumbs up this post because I also think the built-in maps search should use the Google Maps icon instead of the Google Search icon.

    The most current version can now be found on GitHub with very special thanks to xilopaint for continuing and modernizing the original workflow.
    GitHub Download. 
     
     
    Below are my older versions which I will now leave AS-IS for reference:
     
    DOWNLOAD (For Alfred 2)
     
    DOWNLOAD (For Alfred 3)
     
    For those that need to see/copy info from the system.
    Just open Alfred and type "about"
     
    To RESET the workflow type "xabout"
     
    FN+ENTER will copy the selected entry to the clipboard.
    SHIFT+ENTER will paste selected entry to front most app.
     
    CTRL+ENTER will take you to Apple's support website (based on your hardware).
    OPT+ENTER will take you to Apple's hardware specifications website (based on your hardware).

    Updated the 'HardwareIcons.xml' to include all new hardware found/referenced for icons of machines. This brings the hardware list up to date as of macOS 10.13.2 (17C205)
    This is just for Alfred 3 and the new filename is "AboutThisMac_2018.alfredworkflow", so make sure you are running the latest. This is a rather big update in terms of hardware icon support and I apologize for not doing it sooner folks!

    Added icon and updated script for macOS High Sierra.

    August 15, 2016:
     
    Added icon and updated script for macOS Sierra.
    Made a new version for Alfred 3 removing older Operating Systems to fall in line with what Alfred 3 supports.
    I am leaving the Alfred 2 version alone for those who still want to use it, but, it does not support macOS Sierra.

    I found an error in a line of my workflow which on most systems is a lenient one, but on some results in the Human Readable Machine in line 1 of the results to simply not show up. The error also made the links to the support site and hardware specs site not function correctly. I have corrected this line in the workflow.
