Thanks to lazy me-of-the-past it's still hanging in my downloads folder. Click here for download.

The workflow uses the URL scheme "busycalevent://new/-{query}" to create the Todo. According to the docs this should work. In a quick test I indeed got this working so I don't really know how to help you :( 

Found this in my Downloads folder. Hope it helps.

This is the one I have and that works for me:

I installed Transmit 5 and the workflow works for me. What exactly doesn't work?

Is there a way you can statically add a location to the script.

It's actually quite easy. Open the workflow and double click the action that says "open URL" (the upper right one).

In the URL field (which currently says "busycalevent://new/{query}") you just append the keyword "in" and your location. Be aware that you have to URL-encode some characters, i.e. spaces become "%20". A list of those characters can be found here.

An example: if your location was "my sweet home", the URL field should be changed to "busycalevent://new/{query}%20in%20my%20sweet%20home".

Hope this helps.

Is there any way to modify this workflow to work with Daylite instead?

I'm sorry. I don't know Daylite. BusyCal works with URL schemes, so you may try to look for URL scheme support in Daylite and build something like this yourself.

When I press Ctrl+T it writes "open -a 'Path Finder' ./" in iTerm and hit enter.  

If I knew Path Finder was also an option I would have just sugested using the keyword ip. It will open the current iTerm directory in Path Finder thanks to a user contribution on github. I will update the initial post to state this clear.

Nevertheless Keyboard Maestro seems like a good fit for this. You could also use TextExpander which I use for common terminal commands. There are many ways to achieve your goal, so I'm glaf you found yours

@politicus: ForKlift is a hard one, because neither does it support AppleScript nor does it work with the standard "open" command in terminal. I found this and managed to get it work by triggering the following AppleScript:

on alfred_script(q)
	tell application "iTerm"
		tell the current session of current terminal
			write text "absPath=`pwd`
 
(cat<<EOF
 
if application \"ForkLift\" is not running then
    activate application \"ForkLift\"
    delay 1
end if
 
activate application \"ForkLift\"
 
tell application \"System Events\"
    keystroke \"g\" using {command down, shift down}
    keystroke \"$absPath\"
    keystroke return
end tell
 
EOF
) | osascript"
		end tell
	end tell
end alfred_script

Try it yourself and tell me if that works for you.

You can specify a calendar by using the slash trick (that's how I call it): End the event string with "/" and the first letter of the calendar, i.e. "cinema today /p" ("/p" for calendar "Private").

Is there any way to make this workflow calculate from a future date/time?  I'd like to be able to enter some date/time in the future and then add/subtract time from that date.  Any way to do this?  Thanks!

Currently there is no way to achieve what you want, but it would surely be useful though. I will try to make some time to implement it, but don't expect it anytime soon. I will let you know when it's ready.

Great stuff, thanks a lot.

Great workflow, thanks for sharing!

Glad you find it useful, thx for your feedback.

Hi, reduced the complexity of Benzi's workflow. All my workflow does, is take an interactive screenshot and place it directly into the clipboard when you press command+option+shift+4 ---- it is all I ever need when taking screenshots and it is faster than going through the alfred menus --- just in case anyone is interested. ---- Benzi's piece is of course way cooler....

You can accomplish this by just pressing ^⇧⌘4 (the standard one plus ctrl-key). You can even use ⇧⌘4 and draw the rectangle using the Ctrl-key to copy the result to clipboard. Just saying.

This workflow is awesome btw. I was about to create something similar, but a short Google search proved other people already have been that smart

Here is a Workflow to add an Event or a Todo to BusyCal.

Simply use the keyword busy to add an Event, use the ⌥-modifier to make it a Todo.

Direct Download

GitHub

Any chance to combine the same date format customization options there?

1. Open the Workflow in Alfred Preferences

2. Double-Click the "Run Script" action

3. Add your format, i.e. date +"%B %d, %Y"

The +-sign says "here comes a format", double quotes wrap it and the actual characters with the %-sign appended have a specific meaning.

The possible characters for the format scan be looked up on http://strfti.me/,

Have a look at this.

Is this what you need?

For me iTerm opens a new Tab. Terminal doesn't. Maybe there is a setting to globally open new windows as new tabs. If not, sticking with franzheidl's AppleScript should be doing the job.

Thanks for this workflow!

I built a new version using kopischke's suggestion which increases speed dramatically.

You should be able to update it via alleyoop. If that won't work, please report back and use the link in the first post of this topic ("Direct Download").

From now on in order to configure the date output you have to use strftime syntax. The Workflow should migrate your current setting automatically. Please report back if there are any problems.

Once again: thanks for all suggestions and error reports.

Edit: the timezone fixes shouldn't be necessary anymore.

All these PHP error kind of bug me, because I thought they are due to wrong php.ini settings when using PHP >=5.3. Will fix that as soon as I find a minute.

Very nice idea, but wouldn’t it be much simpler (not to mention probably both faster and less prone to PHP warnings) to use the POSIX date utility that ships with OS X?

Thanks for the suggestion. Obviously didn't know about it. Will have a look into.

Is there any way to make it open in a new terminal tab instead of a new window?

Will have a look into, thanks for suggestion.

Nice one!

Keep in mind you can also do "open ." in terminal or iTerm and open it's current path in Finder

Well, that's exactly what the script does. It's just the Alfred way

Found this on Github, very nice and easy to use. Really like it.

Thanks, man. Always nice to hear that something I built for myself is helpful to others. Really appreciate it.

Any chance of doing just the opposite?

1. Go into the Workflows panel of Alfred's Settings.

2. Select Firechrome-Workflow.

3. Double click 'Run Script' action.

4. Delete Code and insert

tell application "Firefox" to activate

tell application "System Events"
	keystroke "l" using {command down} -- Highlight the URL field.
	delay 0.5
	keystroke "c" using {command down} -- Copy the URL field.
	delay 0.5
	do shell script "Open -a 'Google Chrome' " & (the clipboard)
end tell

It's not very fast, but the simplest solution I could find right now. Ok to you?

(sorry for delayed answer, have to figure out how to receive an email when someone quotes me)

Great workflow, works perfectly.

But the Alleyoop update doesn´t seem to work.

Should work for now.

Thanks for reporting back. Will have a look into.

I made a workflow where you can use all 4 variations (Finder to Terminal/iTerm and vice versa):

Open current Finder window in Terminal/iTerm and vice versa
