Hi, yes! I still maintain this workflow as regularly as possible via the github page linked below. The current version works with Catalina but you can grab an older version if you haven't upgraded yet. Let me know if you're having any trouble with the current version and I'll help fix anything needed.

Hi, Got it working on Mojave, thank you.

However I see that the workflow just toggles each Airplay target on/off.

I would like to be able to SWITCH from one to another.

For example, iTunes is set to play to Computer. Using your workflow, I have to toggle Computer OFF, and then toggle my speakers ON.

Is there a way to SWITCH instead of the current behaviour?

Thanks again...

Does this workflow still work?

I entered a hotkey, but "iTunes Airplay  Toggle" flashes in the Alfred search bar and disappears.

Am I doing something wrong?

I just need a way to select various AirPlay speakers. Is there a better way?

OK, I understand. Thank you.

I think I found a solution here: https://breaktimeapp.com/

Since at the moment I can’t justify the $99/year (for an Apple Developer Account for signing) for something I’m giving away for free, I have no plans to improve the app until that changes.

I would be more than happy to pay for this functionality.

I'll put in $25.

Anyone else willing to add to @vitor 's tip jar? Link is here: https://www.paypal.me/vitorgalvao

@vitor - Thank you for a great timer.

I like the simplicity, but sometimes I'd like to have a timer that puts a large message or overlay on my screen when I'm done, forcing me to switch gears. Notifications are too easy to ignore.

Sometimes I use an app called Time Out for this (https://www.dejal.com/timeout/) but would prefer something I can launch directly from Alfred.

Is it possible to modify this so that it displays a large message or overlay to the screen?

Is anyone aware of an Alfred-friendly app that would give me this functionality?

Thank you..

Hi,

I've updated this Workflow to the latest version.

When I try to use it in Chrome for Mac, it asks me to:

• Choose an account to continue to Alfred Drive Workflow

I select my current Google account. But then I get a message in the browser saying:

• Sign in with Google temporarily disabled for this app
• This app has not been verified yet by Google in order to use Google Sign In.

Please advise.

Thank you.

Brilliant!

Thank you Vero

Is there a way to force Alfred's native search to just search for Folders? 

In other words, Alfreds search results usually returns both Files and Folders based on my search terms.

I'd like an option to just find Folders that match my search term.

Thank you.

OK, Thank you vitor.

Hi Victor,

Thanks for the worklfow, but I am having the same issue (in macOS 10.13.6) that when I turn DND off, the Notification icon in menu bar does NOT turn from Grey back to Black.

Please advise.

Thanks,

Matthew

I use Chrome as my default browser and usually have a number of tabs open for various purposes.

However Chrome is an energy hog and I dont like to leave it running when I'm using my MacBookPro on battery.

Is there a way to temporarily tell Alfred to open the results of an Alfred search in different browser (ie: Safari) rather than my default one?

Thanks...

Hi,

Looks like a great workflow, but still not working for me.

I installed Node and NPM, and confirmed it is in /usr/local/bin/node

When I run workflow and type:

t:Store token <my token#>

I get a result saying:

Failure: Not a valid token 

My token IS valid as I use it fine with other integrations. I tried creating a new token (which means I have to re-update all my other integrations), but it still didn’t work.

Debugger reports:

[2018-07-15 07:34:25][STDERR: input.scriptfilter] chmod: build: No such file or directory

Grateful for your help.

Hi,  I have no clue on how to install worflows I find on GitHub. (I'm not a programmer)

I looked around but could not find a simple guide. Could someone provide a simple explanation please.

Or better yet, is there a (non-GitHub) Workflow that installs Workflows from GitHub ?!!!!

Thank you..

Try this one, it has been working for me:

 

https://sci-hub.tw/{query}

 

That works great. Thank you!

Thanks. Not using DevonThink so much these days, but will try it the next time I need to.

Hi dvcrn,

Thank you for this Workflow, but it doesn't work for me. I'm running most recent version of DTPro, and Alfred, on macOS 10.12.6

When I type ds, the Alred window shows "DevonThink Search", but when I type anything else, it reverts to a Google search.

Please advise.

Thanks,

Matthew

Got it.

Oh well, I tried. 

Thank you....

Hi,

Grateful for help on a basic search workflow.

I'd like to be able to search the Sci-Hub website using Alfred.

The website is https://sci-hub.tw/

I added a custom websearch in Alfred using

https://sci-hub.tw/search?q={query}

But it takes me to a URL of 

http://search/sci-hub.tw

And the browser gives an error saying "site cannot be found"

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you. 

Thank you Gingerbeardman.

A few things:

- The Search iTunes Music Store take me to the UK store. Is it possible to switch to US store?

- More importantly for me, I would like to be able to search Apple Music, not the iTunes Music Store. Do you have plans to develop such a workflow?

Thanks

Matthew

Wondering if gingerbeardman or anyone else has made progress on a workflow which can do an Apple Music Search?

Thank you....

Hi dfay,

Thanks for your reply. Didn't realize I could type in more than one query until you told me.

Appreciate your guidance and working now :-)

Hi,

Sorry for the delay in replying.

Two things:

1) ngram is based on two (or more ) queries, not just one.

2) creating this as a Custom search or Workflow is above my pay-grade.

Grateful if someone could help out with this. 

Thank you.

Hi,

I frequently use Google's Ngram in my work. https://books.google.com/ngrams

It is a brilliant service which looks into Google's massive database of scanned books to show frequency of use.

Each time I have to do the following:

- Go to the website

- Type in my terms, seperated by commas

- Check the "case-insensitive" box

- Change the date of the corpus from 1800-2000 to 1800-2016

- Click Search Lots of Books

It is begging for a Workflow, but I have neither the time nor skills.

Happy to make a donation if someone cares to try their hand at this.

Thank you,

Matthew

@mlondon Have you tried to work out whether there's anything on your Mac causing this preference to be reset? I've got "Reduce transparency" permanently checked on my Mac, and the checkbox has never unticked itself - so it's unlikely to be an OS X bug. 

Longstanding bug which others have reported since Yosemite....

This should do the trick.

 

Would it not be more useful to have a script that checks the setting every X minutes, and turns it on if it's off?

Thanks Dean. Just "bought you a beer" :-)

I suppose checking every x minutes would work, but what you made serves my purpose perfectly.
