This workflow generates some useful checksums from file contents. It is implemented as file action which makes it easy to use!
 
It works pretty nice with my "Last changed files" workflow and also can be used to checksum a file in finder by setting a hotkey to the "File Selection" in "Find File".

V1.0 - Initial releases

I often need to do something with my last saved or changed files, like a screenshot or a file I just downloaded with CyberDuck or saved from inside an application.
 
Normally I use "Trickster" for that task. It which gives me access to files like recently downloaded, saved or edited files in a quick way but I thought it would be cool to have this in Alfred!
 
After a brief check of existing workflows I could not find any which does the same simple task: List files in the current users home which are modified or created in the last 48 hours. The list is sorted descending by modification time. I also made the result list searchable.
 
Simply type "last" and it will list the last modified files, you can press space and some letters to filter the results.
 
You also can press Return to open the file or CMD+Return to Browse to the file with Alfred (and then use File Actions on it).

This workflow uses "workflow class" by David Ferguson (@jdfwarrior) to build the resulting xml data.

Overview
Rename a file or a folder selected in Finder or in Alfred Batch rename files or folders using Regular Expression Add additional steps such as find and replace, remove space, remove diacriticals, capitalize, add current date, file modified date, custom number sequence, EXIF original date etc. Quick look to preview all the new names Recent Expressions Presets, including default ones ready to be used Triggering
keywords ren or regex - main workflow keyword keywords ren? or regex? - read about the workflow Hotkey - show Alfred with the keyword ren Hotkey - use the last expression with no interaction File Action - rename files or folders selected in Alfred file browser How to Use

Rename Only

You can use the workflow to rename a single file without using a regular expression, like in Finder:
Select a single file in the Finder (or in Alfred file browser) Type the keyword ren Type the new filename e.g. new name.txt You can optionally use modifiers and filename additions (see below).

Rename with Regular Expression

Here is a command line with all features, including the optional ones, as explained below:
 
regular expression@new filename $d-$m-$y ###[1]{find@@replace}{-modifiers} Step by step:

(1) Type the regular expression to group elements of the previous filename:
^([ˆ ]+) (.*)\.(.*) The workflow will group using $1, $2, $3 and so on. Later you can use them to build a new filename.

(2) When the regular expression is finished type then an at sign at the end:
^([ˆ ]+) (.*)\.(.*)@ (3) After the at sign type the new filename (here you can use the groups formed in the first step):
^([ˆ ]+) (.*)\.(.*)@$1.$3 (4) Optionally add current date or any other filename constants (read below about them):
^([ˆ ]+) (.*)\.(.*)@$1 $d-$m-$y.$3 (5) Optionally add a custom sequence of numbers e.g. with two leading zeros starting at one (read how to build a custom sequence below):
^([ˆ ]+) (.*)\.(.*)@$1 $d-$m-$y ##[1].$3 (6) Optionally find and replace characters in the original filename utilizing the syntax {find@@replace}:
^([ˆ ]+) (.*)\.(.*)@$1 $d-$m-$y ##[1].$3{_@@-} (7) Optionally utilize one of the modifiers (read about them below) to e.g. set all letters to lowercase:
^([ˆ ]+) (.*)\.(.*)@$1 $d-$m-$y ##[1].$3{_@@-}{-l} Note that it is important to keep the modifiers at the very end of the command and enclosed by {}, using or not find and replace.

If all you need is a simple find and replace you can use the following simplified command:
find@@replace{-modifiers} Whether using the regular expression or only the simple find and replace you can always preview the new filenames pressing SHIFT key:



Modifiers
-d to remove diacriticals -s to remove space -c to Capitalize Name -t to Title name -u to UPPERCASE -l to lowercase -_ to replace underscore to space -b to replace space to underscore Use one or more at the very end of the command enclosed by {}, for example:
(.*)\.(.*)@$1.$2{-s-u} -@@_{-u} New Filename Constants

You can add the following constants to the new filename:

Current Date
$d = day e.g. 02 $m = month e.g. 04 $mm = month e.g. April $y = year e.g. 2013 $h = hour e.g. 02 $n = minutes e.g. 54 $s = seconds e.g. 30 Date Created
$cd = day e.g. 02 $cm = month e.g. 04 $cmm = month e.g. April $cy = year e.g. 2013 $ch = hour e.g. 02 $cn = minutes e.g. 54 $cs = seconds e.g. 30 Date Modified
$mod = day e.g. 02 $mom = month e.g. 04 $momm = month e.g. April $moy = year e.g. 2013 $moh = hour e.g. 02 $mon = minutes e.g. 54 $mos = seconds e.g. 30 EXIF Original Date

This is the date and time when the image was originally captured by the camera.
$ed = day e.g. 02 $em = month e.g. 04 $emm = month e.g. April $ey = year e.g. 2013 $eh = hour e.g. 02 $en = minutes e.g. 54 $es = seconds e.g. 30 Image Dimensions
$iw = width in pixels $ih = height in pixels Sequence

You can add a number sequence to the new filename by utilizing # (each one represents a leading zero) followed by the start number enclosed in brackets e.g. ###[1] which means 3 leading zeros starting at 1.

Create New Folder and Move Files

You can also use the regular expression to create a new folder and move the file(s) there.

Utilize a forward slash ("/") before the new name:
 
(.*)@$m-$y/file.png A new folder will be created based on current month ($m) and year ($y) and the file will be renamed and moved to there.

Recent Expressions and Presets

To make things faster the workflow:
Display the last used expression In Recent Expressions there are a list of the last 40 used expressions; note that you can alo use a shortcut to access them: just type a single at sign (@) In Presets there are some ready to use expressions a long with the user favorites ones; note that you can alo use a shortcut to access them: just type a single hash sign (#)

The workflow saves the last used regular expression in the main workflow menu, a list of recent regular expressions and a list of Presets.

To add a Recent expression to Presets just type a plus symbol followed by the preset name: +For My Videos

While in Presets just type a minus symbol “-“ to remove from Presets.

Well there was a feature Request for adding "Rename File" to the internal commands on files here: http://www.alfredforum.com/topic/1675-add-a-rename-action-to-the-file-action-list/
David Ferguson quickly replied with an custom workflow (with some smart Alfred magic making Alfred calling search on itself!)
But his version was a bit raw and limited to files only. So I enhanced it as follows:
1. It uses "mv" instead of cp / remove. This way it will work on folders (and bundles).
2. I made it so that the original name is the default when you rename a file.
3. I added Alleyoop update to it as I may enhance / debug in the future.

V1.1: Visible rename confimation. Fixed renaming of files with spaces in name. CMD Return on rename now copies the resulting file path to the clipboard. Upgraded Alleyoop code too.

I added the attribute type="file" to <item> in the xml result for the filter.
 
Actually I am using here the workflow class by David Ferguson and there it comes after the last parameter he has documented (which is autocompletion text).

(--- update: currently on version 1.05 -- download links all the same)
 
So, I have a workflow problem in that I like to install them. Quite a few of them, and I can easily lose track of the commands for each of them. Hence, I present to you a tool that I needed for me: Alfred2 Workflows Help.
 
Basically, this is a python script that will cycle through your workflows folder, process the info.plist files, and grab the hotkeys and commands from each of them. Then it will compile all of them into a Markdown file, and then show that file in a Quicklook window. Yes! Screenshot is below.
 
Github Repository here: https://github.com/shawnrice/alfred2-workflow-help
Download here: https://github.com/shawnrice/alfred2-workflow-help/raw/master/Command%20Help.alfredworkflow
 
Currently, there is just one command: help.
 
The file can take a few seconds to generate, and it is generated every time. This will change in a later version.
 
---
 
Some notes: The main script (help.py) is written in python, and it's really my first venture into python, so the code might be laughable. I welcome collaboration and commits. I can give you access to the repo if you private message me. I do think that this workflow has a lot of potential.
 
This is version 1.0, and there are many improvements to be made. It has Alleyoop support, so updating should be easy.
 
Quirks and files included:
This workflow displays the file generated through a debug mode of Quicklook (so that the focus doesn't need to switch to finder), so there will always be a "[debug]" message on the window. I've included a Quicklook Markdown generator in the workflow to make sure that it always displays correctly. There are some images that are included that are not currently used (these are in the "images" folder). They will be used to show the hotkeys later. ALP is included. Right now, only part of the library is used, so I might strip it down to make the workflow smaller. So, the size of the workflow is larger because of these things in there.
 
---
 
Roadmap:
Clean up the help.py code. Cache the generated file and update it only when the workflow folder changes. Make the display of the file nicer. Add in more images to the file. Display individual workflow helps (show the data for that workflow as well as the readme.md file). Have a better precedent to show either text or subtext for the command help. Try to figure out a way to describe arguments taken for different commands / hotkeys. Make it understand file actions better. Clean up the file/folder structure. Maybe some more... any ideas?  
Dependencies and Testing:
Built on 10.8.3, but this should be compatible for all systems as the only dependencies are included in the workflow.

Description
Alfred 3 workflow to search and create notes in Evernote.

Search

Keywords
ens to search in every note field ens @ to search in a selected notebook ens # to search notes with a selected tags You can use ent (search in titles only) or enr (search in reminders) or entodo (search to-do notes) or enrec (search notes updated within a week) or enu (search notes with a source URL) instead of ens.

You can select multiple tags to fine tune your searching. Just add a second hash sign and select or type the tag e.g. ens #tag1 #tag2 :my query

In addition, you can select a single notebook then tags too e.g. ent @notebook #tag1 #tag2 :my query

Note that, if you want to select a notebook and/or tags, the query goes after the colon sign as seen above.

Actions
Return key to open the note Shift key to preview the note Option key to set a reminder Control key to paste the note text content to the top most application Function key to open the note URL Command key to append text (from clipboard, selected text or typed) or selected file(s) in Finder. After pressing the Command key a new Alfred window will be shown so you will be able to select the text source and the action: Return key will append without date Option key with append with current date Hint: You can also use the Command key to only add tags to a note. To do so, type or select a tag and don't type anything after the colon then select the source "Type a Note" e.g. enn #tag :

Note that Alfred Fallback Search is also supported (you have to add it in Alfred 2 Preferences>Features>Default Results, then click Setup fallback results button).

Create

Keyword enn

http://cl.ly/image/3t1e440l1c0Q/enn8.png

You can optionally type the note title or, for a more complex creation, follow the syntax below:

@Notebook #tag1 #tag2 !reminder :Title
@notebook: after typing @ a list of notebooks will be displayed then select one or type it; the default will be used if omitted #tags: after typing # a list of tags will be displayed then select one or type a new one (multiple tags are supported, type each one after a hash sign) !reminder: after typing an exclamation point a list of reminder suggestions will be displayed then select one or type a custom reminder such as in 4 days or 05/01/2014 or 05/01/2014 at 2:00 Title: at the end, after a colon (or the second colon if you are adding time in your reminder) Note that items of the syntax are optional, however the syntax has to end with a colon, with or without typing the note title e.g. #tag1 :

Note Content Source
From clipboard From selected text Typed directly in Alfred From Safari or Google Chrome URL From message(s) selected in Mail app From file(s) selected in Finder app: you can create one note with files or one note for each selected files. Alfred File Browser also supported. Type a Note also supports multiple lines and, in this case, the first line will be the title of the note e.g. enn Line 1 /n Line 2 /n Line 3

Actions
Return key: create a note Control Key: create a note and open it Command key: append text or file to a note Option key: append text to a note with current date How to Append
Highlight one of the note content source e.g. From Clipboard Optionally type tags and a reminder e.g. #tag1 #tag2 !tomorrow hold command key and hit return key select a note from the list (search by title only) and hit return key Mail
Message subject as the note title Message received date as the note creation date Message Link as the note source URL A short header (e.g. sender) A plain text version of the email content  
Note Templates
 
Read about templates here.
 
Preferences

Bring Alfred and type the keyword enpref:
Search wildcard: you can set the workflow to automatically use the Evernote search wildcard (*) or you can set the workflow to use only if it is typed (the Manual setting may by faster in a huge note collection).

Note from Andrew: While this is a convenient method for updating workflows, I cannot endorse the use of it unless you are fully aware of the security implications of blanket updating all of your workflows. I'm currently working on a built in workflow auto-updater, for a future Alfred 2 release, that performs the standard verification checks that Alfred currently does on manual import, along with migrating your hotkey/keyword settings on upgrading. I'll also be adding 3rd party workflow developer signatures to keep you safe.
 
Hey all,
I've just completed a workflow designed to make it easier for workflow developers to push updates to their work. (And to their flows.) It's called Alleyoop, it's based very heavily on the concept behind David's old extension updater, and it works a little something like this:
When you enter the query oop, it searches through the workflow folders for files named update.json. update.json indicates what version of the workflow is currently installed and where to check for an update. (The format is below.) Alleyoop downloads a remote json file, indicated in update.json, and if that file indicates a higher version, it downloads the workflow at the address given by the remote file. The user finds the workflow in his or her ~/Downloads directory and opens it. There is no step 4. Workflow developers can start implementing this workflow immediately. All you need is a static place to host a json file and an alfredworkflow file—so Github will do, failing all else, but Droplr won't. Place an update.json file in your workflow, with the following keys defined:
 
{ "version": 1.0, "remote_json": "http://alfred.daniel.sh/Updates/Things.json" }  
version should be a float, meaning that 1.0 and 1.1 and 3.14159 are all valid, but 3.1.4 is not, and remote_json should point to a json file on a remote server that's defined like this:
{ "version": 1.5, "download_url": "http://alfred.daniel.sh/Workflows/Things.alfredworkflow", "description": "Brief description of the update." }  
If the version on the remote server is greater than the version on the user's computer, s/he'll see something like this:

 
Selecting a workflow from the list will download it. No fuss, no muss.
 
And that's it! Enjoy implementing this, until we get a good package manager running again, and let me know if you run into any difficulties.

I often need to do something with my last saved or changed files, like a screenshot or a file I just downloaded with CyberDuck or saved from inside an application.
 
Normally I use "Trickster" for that task. It which gives me access to files like recently downloaded, saved or edited files in a quick way but I thought it would be cool to have this in Alfred!
 
After a brief check of existing workflows I could not find any which does the same simple task: List files in the current users home which are modified or created in the last 48 hours. The list is sorted descending by modification time. I also made the result list searchable.
 
Simply type "last" and it will list the last modified files, you can press space and some letters to filter the results.
 
You also can press Return to open the file or CMD+Return to Browse to the file with Alfred (and then use File Actions on it).

Well... Alleyoop is cool for Workflows which are "set" ... the "Last changed files" one could make use of it. I consider that if there are more updates coming.
 
The window arranger is more like a sandbox for people if they want to use it. It was originally meant to start multiple apps by hotkey and arrange them. I am not sure about slate but no windows manger I know can do that. My "frontmost" window manipulation is more for "showing" something.
 
Slate looks nice but as I wrote, I totally rely on the Custom Snap Areas which only are in better Snap Tool. A feature which is mostly overlooked I guess.

This workflow is useable but also a skeleton I made to answer a question @rosenkrieger asked on app.net (https://alpha.app.net/rosenkrieger/post/4397777).
 
In the form I present it, it has hotkeys and (non searchable) the ".arrange" keyword which lists some arrangement setups (frontmost window left, right, top left quarter) and an example on starting an application (safari) and moving its window into place.

Keep in mind this was more a proof of concept for testing if it is possible to start apps and arrange windows with alfred in an easy way.
 

It can be used to resize the frontmost window by keeping the application name in setWin() empty (see the first 3 of my sample setups)

It also can be used as base to create your own customized workflow which starts applications and puts it's window into the place you want (see the 4th setup)
 
After installing the workflow set the Hotkeys to "Shift + ALT + CMD + A", "Shift + ALT + CMD + B", "Shift + ALT + CMD + C",  "Shift + ALT + CMD + D"
 
When you then press the hotkeys it does the frontmost window resize magic. You can also pop up Alfred and type ".arrange " to get the list of available arrangement setups and chose one of them.
 
Feel free to modify the script (pretty straight forward I think) to do what you want!

I often need to do something with my last saved or changed files, like a screenshot or a file I just downloaded with CyberDuck or saved from inside an application.
 
Normally I use "Trickster" for that task. It which gives me access to files like recently downloaded, saved or edited files in a quick way but I thought it would be cool to have this in Alfred!
 
After a brief check of existing workflows I could not find any which does the same simple task: List files in the current users home which are modified or created in the last 48 hours. The list is sorted descending by modification time. I also made the result list searchable.
 
Simply type "last" and it will list the last modified files, you can press space and some letters to filter the results.
 
You also can press Return to open the file or CMD+Return to Browse to the file with Alfred (and then use File Actions on it).

This workflow uses "workflow class" by David Ferguson (@jdfwarrior) to build the resulting xml data. Besides that it uses a "mdfind" shell command which can be enhanced if you want to change where it searches and what it filters from the results (I filter some filetypes which are unlikely to be interesting for me).
 
I am supporting Updates by the "Alleyoop" Workflow now (Install that workflow from here: http://www.alfredforum.com/topic/1582-alleyoop-update-alfred-workflows/)   Feel free to comment!   Last Changed: 2013-04-19 19:06   V1.12: With the new Alfred 2 Update it is finally possible to fix the result order in a supported way (I modified workflow.php to support that). V1.11: Yet another method to fix the result order! Added 'Docoments/My Games' to blacklist. V1.10: Added iTunes to Blacklist (and a rather special personal Blacklist)! V1.9: Fixed problem with missing files when they have the same timestamp. V1.8: Updated to the new way Alleyoop works. V1.7: Changed how files are choosen to include files recently created even if they have an old timestamp. Added Microsoft Office Support files to the blacklist. Added Parallels VM Files to the Blacklist. V1.6: Made the found files in the result list draggable! V1.5: Added Alleyoop Support and fixed another bug with listing order (hopefully the last time now). V1.4: Fixed that the "oldest" entry was always displayed on the top (while the others where in descending order) V1.1: I updated the script to exclude some more files (mysql data, files in ~/Library, Safari Bookmarks)

Updated 3/18:
NOTE: Set your location again so a default weather unit gets set initially, then change it.
Removed saving to the Workflow Data folder and actually save IN the workflow folder now. Should fix issue a few users are seeing and also allows syncing weather location.
