Can you upload the workflow again?
-
Hi there,
Thanks, but:
It doesn't work for this workflow:
The pasted text is stayed in clipboard.
-
If I use a keyword element in my workflow.
and use (for example) the keyword "pure css triangle"
and set it to "no argument,
Then when I search Alfred for "pure" I will see
this workflow in the results.
But if I will type "css" or "triangle" in Alfred I won't see it in the results.
I think it really should be showing in the results when you type a part of
a keyword and not necessarily the beginning of the keyword.
People who use workflows usually use a lot of them and can't remember
the exact keyword they set.

Is it possible?
I know i can take the current clipboard object and save it and then add it to clipboard again.
but i'm asking if there's a smiple way to that :)
-
That's really overwhelming for me. can you please make a simple example of using one variable in alfredscript?
Thanks any way!

Hi there i have a workflow where a hotkey would trigger the "Keyword" input and the pass the argument into a var utility and set "title" var to the current query.
In the end i have an alfred script which will post to wordpress self hosted blog.
I have tried this:
on alfred_script(q) set myBlogUsername to "myusername" set myBlogPass to "mypassword" set poststrut to {post_type:"post", post_status:"publish", post_format:"status", post_title:"{var:title}", post_content:"test"} tell application "https://myblogdomain.com//xmlrpc.php" set myPosts to call xmlrpc {method name:"wp.newPost", parameters:{"1", myBlogUsername, myBlogPass, poststrut}} return myPosts end tell end alfred_script
But it won't pass the var, just use it as a string. i also tried {$title} and ${title}...

+1 I think it should be built in!

I can use F2, F3 and so... but when i try to assign F1 it does nothing.
I tried to search for apps that may use it, but it seem's there nothing else using it.
Is there a way (in BigSur) to find out if something is using it?
Thanks,
Ben

@Benben Do you get the "key not assigned" error tone (called "Funk", I think) when pressing F11 or F12?
ShortcutDetective is amazing for figuring out which app has assigned which hotkey.
I didn't get the sound but found the conflict! thank you very much!
-
I have the option to not use the function keys, so my F1-F12 are used as regular keys
and i have a lot of workflows assigned to those keys.
For some reason i can't assign F11 and F12.
I have checked in the system preferences that those are not assigned to any other process.
If it matters: I use latest Alfred version and macbook air with BigSur.

+1 (i use "keyboard maestro" for stuff like that for now):

@Benben Ah I misinterpreted what you meant by "quickly search (not auto expand text)"
I actually have a ticket for adding the Workflow Snippet Trigger results to both the Snippet Viewer, and the snip keyword... which I believe would satisfy what you're looking for.
you mean that any workflow that starts with a snippet trigger will show in the snippets viwer?
If that's the case, i guess this will solve my problem is it planned to be any time soon?

Have you tried the ? keyword which searches every feature of Alfred including snippets / snippet triggers?
https://www.alfredapp.com/blog/tips-and-tricks/search-alfred-question-mark-trick/
It doesn't trigger it. it opens the workflow settings panel.

Btw - just to explain my goal:
I code.
I love using snippets. But i also love using advanced snippets (workflows).
I want to be able to quickly search (not auto expand text) my snippets and my advanced snippets (workflows),
in one place.
For now, i can search snippets in one place and the advanced snippets (workflows) in another,
and it's very inconvenient when you have a lot of snippets (and advanced snippets).

Great! Thanks!

I want to use this script:
Quotetell application "Finder"
set top_folder to (choose folder)
repeat with this_folder in (get folders of top_folder)
move every item of this_folder to top_folder
end repeat
end tell
But instead of "choose folder" just auto use the current selected folder.
How can i do that?
"get selection" doesn't work.
-
Great, Thanks!
-
I tried using:
echo 'this<br>and that';
and
echo 'this \n and that';
but both when sent to "Large type" output,
output:
this and that (one line).
How can i add a line break from php script to "Large Type" output?
-
When i use Hotkey trigger and choose the Argument "Selection in macOS"
It passes the selected text to next action - which is great! that's what i want.
But then i want to be able to past the clipboard content to input in that workflow,
but i can't, because the clipboard content becomes the selected text.
How can i pass the selected text without loosing the clipboard content?
Thanks!
Ben

Great @deanishe, Thank you very much!

Is it possible to make a workflow which will trigger action on files selected in the finder?
For example if i select files in finder and hit the workflow hotkey it will open those files in a specific app (which i will select with the "Open File" action). ?
Thanks,
Ben
Alfred doesn't seem to find Apple Notes

This is exactly what i feel. And no Alfred is not a "Launcher" in my opinion. no one uses Alfred as "just a Launcher".
Also, about:
I Think you can let the user choose how "noisy" or not he want's he's search results to be, just like you do with other file types, like this:
I'm also switching to spotlight again, because is a very main thing in my searching workflow, and it's really
disappointing that Alfred doesn't support it. i think it's really should be added.
