@suliveevil It’s necessary to look at workflows in context to see how they call a language, and only then can a fix be suggested. There is no place in the workflow one could easily change the Python path, and someone without experience in it wouldn’t know how where to use that command or what to do with its result.

 

@CWM See the help page for installing Python 3.

 

Problem solved! Thanks so much.

I'm having a strange issue here. For months, I've been using Stephan Millard's excellent Conductor workflow to access Keyboard Maestro macros. It has been a huge help. However, today, after installing Mac OS Ventura, the workflow no longer works for me and I get this message: "ERROR: Python 3 Not Found. The function you selected requires Python 3 which could not be found."

What is strange is that I don't think that I had Python 3 before I installed Ventura. Can anyone explain this to me?

Thanks!

Hi all, 

I love Alfred! I have a quick question: is it possible to keep Alfred's clipboard manager open as I select and paste items listed into a document? That would be a big help to me. Is that possible?

Thanks!

Ps. I'm using Alfred 5

@CWM See the Updated Third-Party Python 2 Workflows GitHub page. It explains the situation, links to instructions on regaining access to Python 2 and includes fixed versions of Case Converter and others.

 

@bwbecker It is trivial to invoke Python 3. Save your script inside the Workflow with a proper shebang (#!/usr/bin/python3) and call it as an External Script as the Language. Or use /bin/zsh as the Language and call your script with /usr/bin/python3 SCRIPT_NAME. You were never limited by the languages in the dropdown, you can easily use anything on your system. 

Thanks so much, Vitor. Big help!

It seems, that macOS 12.3 (the last update) finally removed python2 from the system. The decision to do it in minor release is questionable, but it is what it is. A surprising number of older workflows is still written in python2 and authors never bothered to port them to python3.

 

You could install python2 manually, but it is not really advisable, since it received no updates/patches for 2 years and is a potential security issue. Other than that, there are not so many options: port the workflow to python3 by yourself, wait for author to do so or look for another.

Ah, ok! That explains it. Thanks so much . . . I had no idea

I love Alfred!

And I'm hoping that someone can help me out. 

It appears that many of my workflows are broken. Although I can evoke them, when I attempt to trigger them, Alfred defaults to the standard Search Google, Search Amazon, and Search wikipedia pages.

For example, when I enter "CC" to evoke the "Case Converter 2"  workflow and transform the word "test" into another case, I just get the "Search Google" (etc) pages. 

I've attached a screen shot. 

It appears that some setting has changed. 

Can someone think of a solution?

Thanks!
 

One more question:

is there a key command that I could use to toggle between one sort method and another? That would be great.

Thank you! I had no idea that this was so easy. Awesome

I recently switched from Launchbar to Alfred and I'm super happy. 

I have a question:

When navigating folders with Alfred, it always presents files in alphabetical order. 

I'm wondering: is there a command that I can give it when I'm navigating a folder to sort the files according to date modified? I searched help documents and couldn't find anything. This would be a big help to me.

Thanks very much!

And have you checked "ignore thousand separators"?

That was it! Thanks, Vero. Problem solved!

If you want to use the comma as thousand separator, then you need to change the settings in the Calculator preferences to "Use decimal point as decimal separator" instead (and potentially ignore the thousands grouping depending on what kind of numbers you paste in and whether they vary in format from different sources)

Hi Vero, 

Thanks for the reply. 

This is the problem that I have:

When I change calculator preferences to "Use decimal point as decimal separator," as per your suggestion, and THEN enter 10,000.1+10,000.1, the calculator function no longer works.  I only get the option to search Google, Amazon, and Wikipedia with the numbers. 

Is there a way to fix this?

You have comma set as the decimal separator. All of the things you're calling "bad" are a direct result of your configuration.

 

If comma is the decimal separator, then 10,000 is 10, and 10,000.01 is nonsense.

Hi Deanishe, 

So, is it impossible to use a decimal point and also a comma within an equation in Alfred?

In Launchbar, if I enter 10,000.1+10,000.1, I get 20,000.1 (i.e., the correct result).

Thanks

Hi,

I'm a long time Launchbar user and I am considering a switch to Alfred, but I'm having a problem with decimal points and commas in Alfred's calculator. Can someone help here? I'd be very grateful!

I'll explain: 

1) The Good: 
When I paste this 10,001+10,001 into Alfred, I get this result: 20,002

That's what I want!

2) The Bad: 
When I paste this 10,000.1+10,000.1 into Alfred, I only get the option to search Google, Amazon, and Wikipedia with these numbers. 

That's bad. It should read 20,000.1 (20,000.10)

3) The Bad:
When I paste this 10,000+10,000 into Alfred, I get this result: 20 

That's bad. It should read 20,000

I'm using Alfred 4.6 (1266)
MacOS Monterey (12.0.1)

What can I do? 

I've attached a screenshot of my calculator preferences in Alfred.

Thanks!
