    Multiple inputs (Form Like) to a workflow

    in Workflow Help & Questions

    Posted

    @Vero Thank you for the response. I tried it right now and remember looking at it in the past as well and it didn't work well for me because:

     

    - I can only view more than one input at a time

    - I can't go back to edit the previous input

    - Can't select multiple items from the list of options shown

     

    There are other productivity tools/utilities that might allow this right now (KM etc.), but I was hoping to accomplish this with Alfred as it's my one stop shop for everything and I'm trying to minimize dependency on multiple tools and see Alfred as my go to.

    LMK if there's something else I can try

    Multiple inputs (Form Like) to a workflow

    I'm looking for something like this but with multiple input fields (popup style form would also work). I couldn't figure how to show multiple fields with AppleScript at one time. A dropdown would be desirable but just text inputs would work great.

    Would be even great if I can do this within Alfred search bar itself like this

    Cool. BTW, what’s the guideline to make workflows with regard to binaries. Signing binary might require apple developer account which adds and extra step/hurdle. 
     

    Is it recommended to use languages/frameworks like node, python that most people already have installed on macOS and hence doesn’t require a executable. Languages like Go and Rust might not be installed and add extra dependencies

    I'm not sure why it works on my machine though. Let me know if I can provide any other info. As per my validation, it seems to be providing valid time info

    Is there a reliable workflow for this. Most of them I checked don't parse/understand things the tokens correctly. Something like this would be awesome. The first one doesn't require network access as well.

    Tried this workflow with Chrome but it doesn't pause the video/audio. A min or so later it shows time out error in the logs

    Bumping it up, especially:

     

    - PDF files (merge, split etc)

    - "Type Clipboard Content". This is useful for fields that don't allow you to paste text. 

    - Append/Prepend text to file (this is of course different from "Merge text files with separator" that I had requested earlier)

    - Ability to Trigger Menu Bar Item. e.g. File > Share > Mail

    - Convert video format (e.g. MKV to MP4)

    - Convert video to GIF

    A few features Alfred should be provide right from the launcher rather than going into the "Alfred Preferences" or installing a workflow. 

    - Create new workflow from Alfred launcher

    - Export/Enable/Disable Snippets

    - Enable/Disable workflows

    - Toggle system settings like bluetooth, toggle wifi, connect to a network

    - Install/delete workflows (Workflow library integrated right into the launcher, and shows number of downloads for ratings)

    - Apple "About" menu, battery info.

    - Set input/output device

    - Some natural language conversion (days since 01/01/2021 etc. These things might not even need external API calls)

    - Create events in Calendar

    - FaceTime and message contacts

    - Copy 2FA codes from Messages

    - Screen recording (start right away)

    - Screenshot (ability to set full screen or frontmost window or cross hair selector)

     

    Others:

    - Better dictionary support. It only shows a few words. Maybe should allow to drill down and see the full meaning with example sentences from dictionary.app. 

    - Ability to take in multiple text inputs (form style, rather than splitting text input or using multiple script filters)

    - Ability to show more info about results, like an info pane on the right side of results

    - Bookmark integration with all browser. (Edge, Brave)

    - Ability to open bookmarks in a different browser if needed

     

    Although a few of these feature might have workflows,  but I think they should be part of the core product.
