Hello, this does not work for me, I get an error message, take a look at the screenshot:

Every day I have to publish articles on the internet. That means, I also have to work with pictures, especially resizing, which gets annoying if it takes too much time. That's why I was looking for a simple way to resize, crop or pad an image with Alfred. This is the result:

This workflow uses an AppleScript by Herman van Boeijen which I found here.

You have 2 options to use this workflow:

1. You use the command "imgedit" + the name of the image or

2. You browse your files with Alfred, use the right arrow to show the available options and choose this workflow.

Here some screenshots to demonstrate the workflow a bit better:

Download the workflow here.

Thanks, that did it!

Hmmm...I've tried this with several older versions of my settings file but I can't reproduce this error. Could you open up your settings file (at /Users/<you>/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/Workflow Data/jc-weather/settings.json) and either post it or see if it looks like this? It's OK if you have additional settings, like key.fio, but you should have at least the ones below.

 

  {

    "key.wund": "<your key>",

    "service": "wund",

    "icons": "grzanka",

    "days": 3,

    "time_format": "%A, %B %d, %Y %I:%M%p",

    "version": 3,

    "location": {

      "latitude": 34.0522342,

      "timezone": "America/Los_Angeles",

      "longitude": -118.2436849,

      "name": "Los Angeles, California",

      "short_name": "Los Angeles"

    },

    "units": "si"

  }

Weird, it looks like this:

{
  "service": "wund", 
  "icons": "grzanka", 
  "key.fio": "88a6b92b8f6ecc59ccbbd8719f7e5f32", 
  "days": 5, 
  "time_format": "%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M", 
  "version": 2, 
  "location": {
    "latitude": 45.755539, 
    "timezone": "Europe/Bucharest", 
    "longitude": 21.237499, 
    "name": "Timisoara, Romania", 
    "short_name": "Timisoara"
  }, 
  "units": "si"
}

I put the test-image file in "Downloads", so there are no spaces in the path. Now, the updated workflow does output an image, but it's not resized. This is the image I used. Also jpg to png does still not work.

I used the "ci" command and set the extension to jpg first. The images are quite big, about 4000px in width so the scaling should not be a problem.

This workflow doesn't work for me, it creates the "tmp" folder and that's it. I get a notification but the image is neither compressed nor converted.

Is it just me or does Caffeinate disable the Screen Saver?

Well, I updated to the new version, now it doesn't work anymore. I get the result "key.wund"

Thanks a lot!

Edit: One more thing, the results are often cut off when too long, is there some way to show them all?

This is great, could you please do the same for openthesaurus.de?

Thank God for this workflow. The coders said they would implement a search function in U3, but who knows when. Thanks a lot.

Actually, there is no "recommended method" for freeing RAM as it is a bad idea to begin with. OS X handles the RAM management quite well, there is no need to free RAM as it will only slow down the system.

The Caffeinate workflow: http://www.alfredforum.com/topic/710-toggle-caffeine/

Also: It would be nice to post only one workflow. If you post 5 workflows and we like only 1, we can't like the whole post.. Just post more than once.

Hello,

 

I had this problem too so i tried adding a delay of 0.5 seconds into the script - it now opens sparrow first before searching.

 

the script now reads...

 

 

on alfred_script(q)

delay 0.5

    tell application "Sparrow" to activate --- activates sparrow

    tell application "System Events"

        tell process "Sparrow" --- implying Sparrow is already activated

            key code 3 using {command down, option down} --- send cmd+alt+F to Sparrow invoking search

            keystroke q --- enter the query

        end tell

    end tell

end alfred_script

Cool, that works. Would be cool to extend the script to launch Sparrow first (if it's not already launched) and than execute the script. I am not big into programming, but it should be something like this:

on alfred_script(q)
tell application "System Events"
    set isSparrowRunning to (count of (every process whose name is "Sparrow")) > 0
end tell
if isSparrowRunning then
    tell application "Sparrow" to activate --- activates sparrow
    tell application "System Events"
        tell process "Sparrow" --- implying Sparrow is already activated
            key code 3 using {command down, option down} --- send cmd+alt+F to Sparrow invoking search
            keystroke q --- enter the query
        end tell
    end tell
else
	tell application "Sparrow " to launch
	delay 0.5
    tell application "Sparrow" to activate --- activates sparrow
    tell application "System Events"
        tell process "Sparrow" --- implying Sparrow is already activated
            key code 3 using {command down, option down} --- send cmd+alt+F to Sparrow invoking search
            keystroke q --- enter the query
        end tell
    end tell
end if
end alfred_script

It doesn't work as it should, launching Sparrow works, but when it's launched, the window focus and search does not work.  I guess we have to set some delays. Maybe somebody can help out.

Would love this, I need it, too.

Love the Piratebay workflow. Is it possible to add one more info to it, when the torrent has been uploaded? For example: "today", "y-day", "2 days ago" and so on..

This doesn't seem to work when the Sparrow window is not open, but closed.
