I cannot, and have never been able to , get an Alfred snippet that contains a dynamic placeholder to expand into anything other than a literal rendition of the placeholder.

Am I doing something monumentally stupid or is this feature broken?

Should I just buy Keyboard Maestro?

Hi,

Ok, looks like I have an issue with the Python install on my computer.

[14:58:43.247] Carbon Copy Cloner[Script Filter] Queuing argument '(null)'
[14:58:43.510] Carbon Copy Cloner[Script Filter] Script with argv '(null)' finished
[14:58:43.513] ERROR: Carbon Copy Cloner[Script Filter] Code 127: /Users/jon/Library/Caches/com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred/Workflow Scripts/7651A74B-8CD2-4780-AE5B-AFA4E9A846E6:1: ./parse.py: bad interpreter: /usr/bin/python3: no such file or directory

I'll have to have a look into this.

@optimus1509 - is this working for you? Does it show you your tasks or does it launch them as well?
On my laptop I get an option to show CCC tasks but hitting return on it shows me nothing. See screencast here;

OK, cool. Some progress.

What I don't know how to do is to return the output of 

"/Applications/Carbon Copy Cloner.app/Contents/MacOS/ccc" -i | awk -F"|" '{print $1}'

to Alfred so that it could be selected by Command+1, Command+2 etc.

I presume the result needs to be formatted into JSON?

Hi optimus1509,

I'd like to get this going as well. Not a lot of coding experience here but did you get any further?

I couldn't get your command line to work above. it just returns

pipe dquote>

But, I do know that the tasks are listed in /Library/Application Support/com.bombich.ccc/MetaData.db
I can read mine with a sqlite reading program. See screenshot
