The man is on fire!! Yet another great workflow mate!

Workflow Description
 
With this little workflow, you can select a bunch of files, trigger the workflow (hotkey or keyword) and type in the comments you’d like to add. The extension allows for a default action when encountering existing spotlight comments, as well as interactive mode and parameter options (more on that later).
 
 
Installation and Setup
 
Download and import. As for setup, there isn’t much to it. Simply define what your desired default action should be when encountering existing comments. Change property defaultOverwrite : "append"  accordingly. Possible options are append, replace and interactive.
 
 
Extension Usage
 
Triggering the extension and entering text without any of the following parameters will default the the behaviour discussed above, with the exception of delete of course.
-d — Will remove any spotlight comment from the selected files;
-a — Will append to existing comments;
-r — Will replace existing comments;
-i — Will function interactively allowing you to decide on a file by file basis. It will display the existing comment to facilitate your decision too
There is no need to leave any space after the parameter but you can do so if you prefer (it will be stripped from the begging)
 

Yeah, I can totally agree that this would be a killer addition. To reduce visual clutter a simple "i" button near the top could open a new sheet with this information. Also great for changelog etc.
 


Ignore the crappy example of course

Preface:  Please bear with me on this one, I was a bit excited writing about this feature request so I am sure I repeat myself plenty but a quick read and the screenshot should tell it all. Thank you!
 
The workflow section is amazing and with the new layout of workflows I think it would be even better if workflow creators could give users notes about usage and possible variables that need to be adjusted or can be adjusted in various scripts located throughout the workflow.
 
Yes, I know titles and subtext exist to explain the basic idea behind what a workflow does, but as of now if different parameters can be set within a script the developer either comments the parameters in the script itself, which is always good practice or in the worst case scenario no comments exist and the user searches through the code to figure out what the parameters can be used by double clicking the script icon in the workflow to view the script and/or search for comments containing information about different parameters that the script can take advantage of.
 
I hope this will clear up what I am getting at:
 
Take for example one of Pedro Lobo's wonderful workflows: "Spotlight Comments" - Pedro always comments his code very neatly for users to view parameters and makes a detailed installation and usage instructions for his users wherever he posts the workflow. When a repository is up and running and these wonderful detailed instructions are not joined with the actual workflow download the user is missing a lot.
 
This is what Pedro posted with his workflow:

Sometimes after you download a workflow you forget all of this wonderful information.
 
Solution: 
 
 

 
 
 
In the workflow "environment" allow for the developer and users the option of inserting a text field that spanned the bottom of the workflow screen that can be added by the workflow creator and especially the user to make comments about the workflow.
 
1) It could be used for jotting ideas while creating workflows.
2) Wouldn't require remembering where a workflow was downloaded from and visiting that site (if a site is listed in details) to learn more about it.
3) Usage instructions would be right their for you to see at a glance.
4) When making modifications to someone else's workflow, note your changes.
 
So many great uses for a feature like this and I beg of you, If you implement any feature I ask for during this beta period, PLEASE let it be this one!!
 
Keep interface clean:
The text Field could slide up from the bottom if added and then collapsed again to make the workflow view clean and pretty but when you need the details or want to make a quick note, you can pull it up and edit away never again forgetting important info about the workflow.
 
I am sure Andrew will have a great way to implement this. Please vote it up so it happens, thank you to everyone for sharing their workflows and again to the Alfred team for letting me beta test and make feature requests. Cheers!

This workflow evaluates 1-line python expressions, and displays the results in real time, upon selection the result is copied to the clipboard.

Enjoy!

Looks good mate! As for the cursor, don't think you can change it's colour. Might be wrong though.

I like mine minimal.

Although you can't see it, it has a very slight transparency letting th back show just a tad.
 
Tip: Install the latest version and apply a blur to it. Looks SO cool.

Attached is a simple Wikipedia auto complete workflow.

Hello,
 
I quickly put together a workflow for controlling Tweetbot which I wanted to share 
 
The workflow uses the Tweetbot URL scheme.
 
Currently, the following commands are supported. Parameters in brackets are optional and parameters in square brackets are required. When an account name can be specified and none is specified, the current account will be used.
t (message) Posts a new tweet. tt (account name) Shows the timeline of specified account. tu [screen name] Shows the user profile of the user with the specified screen name. tmm (account name) Shows the mentions for the specified account. (Note: This command is ‘tmm’ because by default OS X will replace ‘tm’ with ™) tr (account name) Shows the retweets which appears in the accounts timeline. tdm (account name) Shows the direct messages that the account has received. tl (account name) Shows the lists that the account owns. tf (account name) Shows the tweets the account has marked as favorited. ts (account name) Searches using the specified account. (Note: Sadly this doesn’t seem to work with the ‘query’ parameter on OS X) tfo [screen name] Follows the user with the specified screen name. tun [screen name] Unfollows the user with the specified screen name. You can download it by following this link or grab the source code at GitHub.
 

Woah, beautiful.

I love the clean simplicity of apps like the awesome Folding Text,  iA Writer etc.
 
Here is Alfred in his plane paper mode:

Edit: Here is a download: iA Writer theme

I have tried to copy the style of my Alfred v1 theme, the result:
 


 

I've created a basic workflow to create a bit.ly link, which is then copied to the clipboard.
 

 
I wanted to have some way to have a Notification Center popup to indicate the link was created successfully, but I haven't figured that part out yet.
 
You need to have an account with Bitly, and edit the Run Script section to copy your username and API key into place, where it says USERNAME_HERE and APIKEY_HERE.  You can get your API key here, when logged into Bitly.

Futura. Love that font.

OK guys, here it is http://bit.ly/ZLIb4H
 
Still very much in draft stages and need a ton of improvement. It's speed is limited to that of app store search so at times it's a little slow. In the coming days I'll look into improving that (some sort of cache)
 
 
Let me know what you think and what can be improved.
 
Much thanks to Dan Palmer for his extension, it paved the way (my previous code was way more inelegant)

Yeah, that would be cool. For my App Store Linker I'm currently downloading the images to a temp destination. This puts a little more overhead making it run a little slower than I'd like. 
 
Alternatively, pass the image as  Base64 string (this would have the added benefit of storing the image in a DB for cache.)  

I like mine minimal.
