  1. The number of posts I make in a community does not indicate whether I do or do not participate. It's a very bad assumption on your part that only people who "post" are participating. Reading is also a form of participation. Are you saying that the core dev team had no clue this was coming and that this caught everyone completely by surprise? Isn't that exactly why Apple does beta releases? Your opinion and you are entitled to it. We happen to have differing opinions in this case. Yes, the community is not controlled by Alfred, but the platform is. And that is where some sort of check/balance could have been implemented to avoid running into this. Again, my opinion. Posts are merged, unmerged, split up...It's good to be the king! I posted a single reply and you thought it was getting off topic? A post made on a discussion where a dissenting view is published is deemed off topic and you then you unanimously decide to remove (sorry split) it? Excellent community building skills. And you wonder why people like me are losing faith in Alfred. My post was meant for the community to consume, not for you to shove around as you see fit. If you disagree, be open about it and post your differing opinions for everyone to read/comment keeping the threaded context in place. I won't be engaging in this thread anymore. It is pointless since criticism is not received well and draconian actions seem to be the norm for mods. Hell, I won't be surprised if this post now gets me banned!
  2. Thanks. I appreciate that. If only this much effort was put into ensuring workflows were regularly updated, we would not find ourselves here. Unfortunately, that is not an option for me. Installing a decade old piece of software that has been deprecated in order to keep functionality going is not indicative of a strong underlying software arch. The Alfred devs knew this change was coming and should have done enough to warn the workflow devs and users that their installs will break. I heard nothing.. and now it's scramble time. For now, I'll remove the workflows that require python2 and carry on. If it becomes too painful, I'll (unfortunately) start to look at alternatives to Alfred (e.g. Raycast). I've been an Alfred powerpack user/supporter since 2011, so this is truly heartbreaking for me to even consider. But IMO, this could have been avoided 100% by active platform and community management.
  3. I've installed new versions of convert case, password generator, etc. from Vitor's post but still running into issues. For example, when I type in "cc some sentence," I don't see the options to change case, instead I see the standard Alfred search options (search google, etc.). The same happens with password generator. I am under the impression that all I needed to do to get broken workflows to start working again was to get their latest versions. Is there another step?
  4. hmmm, 'purge' still works when executed from the command line.
  5. Does not work on Mavericks. Always comes back with 0MB purged. Is there a fix?
  6. How do workflows update themselves? I am sure that from time to time the author of a workflow will add new features or squash bugs but how does a user, who has an older version installed, get the new build? Does the user periodically check the forums? (please say "no"!) Thx, Nitin
  7. How does one get started with creating workflows? Is there a tutorial or a git repo that one can fork to learn more? Thx, Nitin
