Hello,
I love Alfred, but I believe that the snippet section needs a little bit work. I find myself duplicating snippets for case sensitivity (e.g. >ty for thank you and >Ty for Thank you).
This becomes a bit annoying, so I have three ideas:
- Alfred supports this, but that would be a feature suggestion
- I create my snippet collections programmatically. I found that the snippet collections can be exported and imported. A snippet file seems to be a ZIP of JSONs. However, I cannot find any specification how these files are organized. In the filename, there seems to be some kind of UUID but it quickly becomes wild guessing. Can anybody tell me?
- I create snippet triggers, which is less preferred due to complexity. At least, I know that Dash (for coding) updates its associated Alfred workflow automatically. I know that there are libraries for workflow scripting, but for *creating* the workflows, what are the rules?
Thanks so much 🙂
PS: Please note if anybody would like to be informed about any kind of extension that might follow from this thread, i.e. in case I write some kind of snippet creator.
