  1. Hi, this doesn't work with El Capitan and Parallels 11. Any chance of an update? Thanks
  2. Thanks! Been waiting for ages to MS to fix this
  3. Thanks. I already have my startup view set to coherence. Seems to ignore it
  4. Cool thanks works well now only thing is the VM always starts up in Windowed mode. I set all my VMs to start in Coherence mode, using this workflow seems to make the VM ignore this. Weird. Great workflow though!
  5. Thanks for trying. This is a great workflow. I have tried it again and it still does it. Let me try and explain: 1) Parallels is NOT running 2) Use the workflow to resume a suspended VM 3) Parallels starts and the VM resumes 4) Use the workflow to suspend the VM 5) The VM is suspended and is removed from the Dock 6) The Parallels application reappears in the dock Can you make it if there are no other VMs running when you suspend or shutdown a VM the Parallels application is permanetly closed? Thanks
  6. Mmmm, Parallels still starts up again when suspending a VM
  7. When you suspend a VM it closes the Parallels application and then restarts it. Any chance you can prevent this? Thanks
  8. Sorry still doesn't work. It lists all my VMs and their status but when you highlight one and press enter, nothing happens. *EDIT* sorry ignore me my bad. Tried it again and it does work OK. Although if you use the quick selection i.e. cmd-2 to select VM 2 in the list, nothing happens. You have to highlight the VM and press TAB for it to list the various options available. Hope that makes sense.
  9. Use this workflow everyday and after an update to the RDP app yesterday from the App Store (v8.0.5) it no longer starts the session automatically. Any ideas?
  10. Doesn't work for me - it lists the VMs but you cannot interact with them. I am using PD9.
  11. I can't see what I am doing wrong. As soon as I type anything to replace the #alfredtweet and save it, the workflow stops working.
  12. OK I have now changed the script action to run your action.sh script followed by the prlctl {query}. This works fine. I removed the prlcrl $1 from action.sh and reduced the sleep to 1 which seems to work well. Being very pedantic is there anyway I can start the app Parallels Desktop minimised? Thank you so much for your help.
  13. OK confirmed that prlctl does indeed work when Parallels is not working. It just lists nothing which I assume is correct. However, I have used your script above and now nothing happens at all Suspending Parallels and trying to resume a VM all fail to do anything. So I assume the action.sh isn't working. Here is what I have used: a=`ps aux|grep "Parallels Desktop" if [[ -z $a ]]; then open "/Applications/Parallels Desktop.app" sleep 5 fi prlctl $1 Does this look correct? Is the ` after the a= correct? Sorry I don't know these scripts very well. *EDIT* so added another ` after ps aux so have : a=`ps aux`|grep "Parallels Desktop" if [[ -z $a ]]; then open "/Applications/Parallels Desktop.app" sleep 5 fi prlctl $1 And it now starts Parallels but doesn't do anything else. Assume this is because it cannot find prlctl?
  14. Yep all working. As soon as you edit the php file, the workflow stops working
  15. So it does - my bad! Thanks David. Just tried to edit the playing.php to change the '#alfredtweet' to '#nowplaying', as soon as you remove it and save the file, the script no longer works. Weird. Why would that be?
  16. OK to prevent the script from launching Parallels every time it executes, can I place the snippet only when you select what outcome you want? I.e. this workflow queries the status of all your VMs and then lists what you can do with them - resume, reboot etc. What would be ideal is the new snippet only be run if I select an outcome, otherwise it is ignored. Any suggestions? Thanks again
  17. Does anyone have a workflow that can output what is current playing in iTunes into Twitter/Facebook? Done a quick search and cannot find anything... I have this code I use with NerdTool (for streaming radio) so can I use this to pipe what I want to Tweetbot for example? # ITUNES CURRENT MUSIC # ROBERT WOLTERMAN (xtacocorex) # I MODIFIED THIS FROM SOMEWHERE ON THE INTERNETS, BUT CANNOT REMEMBER WHERE # # THIS CODE WORKS IF YOU ARE LISTENING TO AUDIO FILES OR WEB STREAMS THROUGH ITUNES # CHECK TO SEE IF ITUNES IS OPEN tell application "System Events" to set iTunesIsRunning to (name of processes) contains "iTunes" if iTunesIsRunning is false then return "iTunes is not open" end if # DON'T REMEMBER WHAT THIS IS FOR tell application "System Events" set powerCheck to ((application processes whose (name is equal to "iTunes")) count) if powerCheck = 0 then return "" end if end tell # GLOBAL VARIABLES set newline to " " as text set header to "Now Playing" as text # DO STUFF IF ITUNES IS OPEN if iTunesIsRunning is true then tell application "iTunes" # GET INFORMATION WE NEED set theURL to the current stream URL as text set theStream to the current stream title as text if player state is playing then # WE ARE LOOKING AT A MUSIC FILE if theURL is "missing value" and theStream is "missing value" then # WE HAVE A FILE, SO SET BOOLEAN APPROPRIATELY set haveFile to true # GET THE TRACK DATA set sartist to artist of current track set strack to name of current track set salbum to album of current track else # WE ARE LOOKING AT A MUSIC STREAM # SET THE haveFile BOOLEAN APPROPRIATELY set haveFile to false # GET THE TRACK DATA set stitle to current stream title as text set sname to name of current track set scategory to category of current track # UNSURE IF scategory HAS VALUE SO CHECK AND SET AS NEEDED if scategory is "missing value" then set scategory to "" end if set sdesc to description of current track # UNSURE IF sdesc HAS VALUE SO CHECK AND SET AS NEEDED if sdesc is "missing value" then set sdesc to "" end if if theStream contains "back soon" then set theStream to "" end if end if end if # IF WE'RE PAUSED, UPDATE THE FOOTER VARIABLE if player state is paused then set footer to " / paused" as text else if player state is stopped then # IF WE'RE STOPPED, UPDATE THE FOOTER VARIABLE set footer to " / stopped" as text else # SET TO NOTHING AS IT'S PLAYING set footer to "" as text end if # SET THE INFORMATION TO BE DISPLAYED if haveFile then # INFO FOR THE FILE set info to strack & " " & sartist & " " & salbum & footer as string else # INFO FOR THE STREAM if theStream is "missing value" then set info to sname & ": " & sdesc & footer as string else set info to sname & ": " & theStream as string end if end if # RETURN info TO BE DISPLAYED return info end tell end if Thanks
  18. Thank you for your help. Where about in the code would your snippet go? Parallels is actually entitled 'Parallels Desktop'.
  19. Hi I am currently using this workflow http://www.alfredforum.com/topic/202-parallels-desktop-workflow/ It queries Parallels and can resume, start etc VMs. I am sorry I did download it from this forum but cannot get hold of the original author. Unfortunately unless Parallels is running, resuming a VM does not work. Does anyone know what code I need to change to start Parallels (if not already running) to resume a VM? The PHP code snippet is below: <?php // Main configuration $inQuery = $argv[1] ?: ''; $reUUID = '(?<uuid>\{[\dA-Fa-f]{8}\-[\dA-Fa-f]{4}\-[\dA-Fa-f]{4}\-[\dA-Fa-f]{4}\-[\dA-Fa-f]{12}\})'; $reList = '/^\s*'.$reUUID.'\s*(?<status>[^\s]+)\s*(?<ip>[^\s]+)\s*(?<name>.*)$/'; if (($isUUID = preg_match('/'.$reUUID.'/', $inQuery, $tmpData) ? true : false) === true) $inQuery = $tmpData['uuid']; $supportedActions = array( 'start' => array('running', 'suspended'), 'stop' => array('stopped', 'suspended'), 'reset' => array('stopped', 'suspended'), 'suspend' => array('stopped', 'suspended'), 'resume' => array('running', 'stopped')); $foundVM = array(); $results = array(); // Read VM lists if (exec('prlctl list -a --no-header '.($isUUID ? $inQuery : ''), $output)) foreach ($output AS $row) if (preg_match($reList, $row, $tmp)) $foundVM[] = $tmp; if ($isUUID) { // Action lists per VM foreach ($supportedActions AS $action => $currentStatus) if (!in_array($foundVM[0]['status'], $currentStatus)) $results[] = array( 'uid' => $action, 'arg' => $action.' '.$inQuery, 'title' => ucfirst($action), 'subtitle' => $foundVM[0]['name'], 'icon' => 'icon.png', 'valid' => 'yes'); if ($foundVM[0]['status'] == 'running') $results[] = array( 'uid' => 'capture', 'arg' => 'capture '.$inQuery.' --file ~/Desktop/'.str_replace(array(' ', '/'), array('-', '-'), $foundVM[0]['name']).'-'.@date('Ymd-his').'.jpg', 'title' => 'Capture a screenshot', 'subtitle' => $foundVM[0]['name'], 'icon' => 'icon.png', 'valid' => 'yes'); } else { // List of VM matched $reRowQuery = '/'.preg_quote($inQuery).'/i'; foreach ($foundVM AS $vm) if (preg_match($reRowQuery, $vm['name'])) $results[] = array( 'uid' => $vm['uuid'], 'arg' => $vm['uuid'], 'title' => $vm['name'], 'subtitle' => 'Status: '.ucfirst($vm['status']), 'icon' => 'icon.png', 'valid' => 'no', 'autocomplete' => $vm['name'].' '.$vm['uuid']); } // No VM matched if (!count($results)) $results[] = array( 'uid' => 'none', 'arg' => 'none', 'title' => 'No VM found!', 'subtitle' => 'There aren\'t any VM...', 'icon' => 'icon.png', 'valid' => 'no'); // Preparing the XML output file $xmlObject = new SimpleXMLElement("<items></items>"); $xmlAttributes = array('uid', 'arg', 'valid', 'autocomplete'); foreach($results AS $rows) { $nodeObject = $xmlObject->addChild('item'); $nodeKeys = array_keys($rows); foreach ($nodeKeys AS $key) $nodeObject->{ in_array($key, $xmlAttributes) ? 'addAttribute' : 'addChild' }($key, $rows[$key]); } // Print the XML output echo $xmlObject->asXML(); ?> Thanks
  20. Any chance you could make it so the main RDP app is minimised or better still closed once the RDP session is initiated? Thanks
  21. This is perfect for me - thanks!
  22. This doesn't work for me. It just does a normal Google search, for example I did sayno 08451234567 and it returns a google search for 'sayno 08451234567'
