Your best bet is to look at an existing plugin and try to adapt that to your email program.

 

The precise implementation will depend on your email program's API, however.

May you point us to one of such existing plugins, I would really appreciate it, thank you

Hi,

I am afraid I have the same problem, see the lines from Console:

28/09/14 11:00:21,678 Alfred 2[275]: [TIMER] 89.472811 seconds to initialise Alfred
28/09/14 18:16:19,893 Alfred 2[272]: [TIMER] 71.299102 seconds to initialise Alfred
28/09/14 18:23:22,850 Alfred 2[265]: [TIMER] 64.554266 seconds to initialise Alfred

The 2 last lines coming from 2 boots in a row.

Is there any update with regards to the thread above?

My Login Items list is currently made of iTunesHelper, CleanMyDrive and Alfred2, in this sequence

Thank you

Gaetano

Hi,

I have modified the workflow according to the suggestion by spoterianski, now it should be ok

Please let me know in case of any other trouble

Gaetano

Hello! I had exact same problem.

If the "Filter script" run in the AppleScript editor I receive error:

error "System Events got an error: Can’t get current configuration of service \"FireWire\" of current location of network preferences."

 

In the "Filter script" i'm find line:

 

set srvList to get name of every service whose (kind is greater than 8)

 

and replace  than 8 -> that 9

 

set srvList to get name of every service whose (kind is greater than 9)

 

Now all works.

Error in 

Mavericks 

Well, I can only say a big thank you, spoterianski.

I am still trying to reproduce this problem because on my Macbook Air with mavericks it doesn't happen.

Your suggestion is really helpful!

Have a nice day

Gaetano

Dear friends,

I tried several times the scenario described above but, honestly, I was unable to reproduce the problem because it works smoothly both on my iMac and on the Macbook Air. I can try to investigate more and come back to you

I am having the same issue. I only noticed it after upgrading to Mavericks so not sure if it was the Alfred 2.1 update to the upgrade to Mavericks that caused this for me.

Thank you for your alerts,

I will check it in short and let you know once I will be back home from work :-)

Gaetano, see if you can add the option to select the available wifi connections, after turning wifi on.

Thanks for the suggestion, I will give a look to it.

Hi,

this is a workflow to activate an existing VPN profile, it allows you to connect and to disconnect (a lot of features!).

As usual, the VPN profile has to be available in the current Network Location.

If you don't have any VPN connection, I think you should setup one just to try this workflow 

Here is how it looks like

and, as usual, you can download it from here.

Have a lot of fun

Gaetano

Oh, I see, thank you!

Hi Jack,

I may be missing something but I can't make insertion in a specific list work anymore.

If I write 

r tomorrow at 10:00 to test list Backlog

shouldn't it insert "test" reminder into the list Backlog?

Thanks

Hi all,

there is a new version of this workflow with the addition of a hotkey triggered scenario (thanks derico for the suggestion) and some code cleanup.

I also changed a bit the notification.

You can download it from the link above or down here in the signature

Have fun!

Well, I don't know any Perl, thus I fiddled with the script until it was working with a hotkey. 

 

If you would include a hotkey in your workflow, any potential user could benefit from this option out of the box.

And since the actual hotkey will not travel with the workflow, everybody can set up their own or just leave it deactivated.

 

I bet your solution would be much cleaner than my attempt

Sure, it's a very good idea, I will give it a look very soon.

Enjoy

Hi Ricco,

thanks for the kind comment, if you want me to make changes to the workflow, I will be happy to help.

Have a nice day

Gaetano 

See the latest version.

Fantastic!

I started out trying to do something along the lines of "r from mail" but then I realised something didn't quite click with it. Maybe it was laziness on my part, but the thought of telling Alfred which application to pull information from seemed like a bit of a bore. So instead, I give you the "r this" keyword. Pop open Alfred, type those 6 characters, and he'll just fish information out of whatever application you're using and turn it into a reminder, and you can use all of the other keywords too!

 

The downside to this is I need to code each application seperately, so right now, it only works with Chrome, Safari and Mail (but he'll tell you if it's an application he's not familiar with) in the latest version. So I put it to you, the loyal usership, to let me know which applications I should add support for.

Hi Jack,

I surrender in front of risk of boredom! 

This solution is great, I am just downloading the latest release and I will surely work as "loyal usership"

Gaetano

Hi,

let me add one more little suggestion: I think it would be useful to force a cache refresh on the "all" option.

Have a nice day

Gaetano

Hi,

my best compliments for this extension, it is great!

Let me add one more suggestion, what about creating a reminder from an email? I mean something like 

r on 12/12/13 12:00 from Mail

it would read the currently selected email and create a reminder linked to it.

While searching for such feature, I stepped into this page with some useful snippet

Thanks

Gaetano

Hi,

I experience that it is not possible to send some Alfred activating hotkeys to a Screen Sharing session.

In details, during a Screen Sharing session, if Ctrl+Space or Opt+Space is chosen as Alfred hotkey both on local and on remote machine, always the local instance of Alfred is opened, even if Screen Sharing window is focused.

If the hotkey is Cmd+Space on both the machines, Alfred is opened on the remote machine.

This happens with the latest v2 on both sides (but happened also with previous versions) and with the latest Mountain Lion on both as well.

Have a nice day

Gaetano

Hi all,

this is Yet another workflow to rebuild the Open With... menu that gets messed up often when installing application updates. If you experience items duplication in the Open With... menu, this workflow is for you.

It looks like this

and can be downloaded from this page.

Enjoy!

Gaetano

Well, could be but I don't think so because the hotkeys correctly activate Alfred when I use the "remote" machine as local.

Both Macs are configured with the same hotkeys to activate Alfred.

Hi again,

it seems the problem is related to the shortcut itself: now I changed from Ctrl-Space to Cmd-Space and it works fine in Screen Sharing as well. Again, reverting back to Ctrl-Space, the invocation is only local.

I tried also from another Mac and shows the same behaviour, there is something wrong with the sequence Ctrl-Space.

I made one additional test and noticed that Opt-Space doesn't work either

Hi David,

this doesn't work with the native Screen Sharing application.

My Alfred shortcut is Ctrl-Space and it is always captured by the local machine.

I may try setting Cmd-Space as shortcut but I feel it doesn't depend on this, am I wrong?

Gaetano

Hi,

I hope I am not asking a stupid question but, may any of you suggest me how to activate Alfred on a remote machine which screen is open in a Screen Sharing (VNC) session?

I currently launch it via Spotlight because the hotkey is always captured by the local machine, never by the remote one

Thanks

Gaetano

Hi all,

I know, there is plenty of smart Wi-Fi toggle workflows out there so it's hard to believe we need another. Anyway, this is the one I made by myself, in Perl, adding some bells and whistles like current IPv4/v6 address, MAC address as well as the SSID of the current connection.

It looks like this:

If you like it you can download it from this page.

As usual, any comment is the very welcome 

Have a nice day

Gaetano
