Although I am relatively new to Alfred's PowerPack, I have been using the heck out of Snippets--especially since I was a TextExpander user. However, it would be great to have more Date calculation capabilities. For example, if I want to write an email that says your response is due next Friday, I would love to have something like {date +Friday} as a way to say replace this with the date for next Friday. Just a thought.

I have a near perfect snippet that writes a standard note that I send in email every week. For sending about two dozen individual emails, it's a great feature. When the snippet is expanded there are two placeholders for dates. The first date expands for tomorrow: {date +1D:leeee, MMMM d, yyyy} The second placeholder for the date is to calculate the date for next Saturday. However, there is no way to say "next Saturday." Since the email is usually created on Monday, next Saturday is calculated as {date +5D:eeee, MMMM d, yyyy}. However, since Monday is a holiday, when I expand this snippet on Tuesday, the second placeholder will expand to Sunday's date. Is there a way to expand the snippet to include the date for "next Saturday" regardless of the day I expand this snippet? Thank you. Scott
