    You might want to use .applescript extension rather than .scpt on GitHub as the latter one is for compiled files and can't be read within the repo.

    dfay got a reaction from Pearcen in Moom and launching apps / files   
    This is how I've set it up:
     
    keyword -> Launch Apps / Files (with my selected files) -> Run Script
     
    where the script is Language: /usr/bin/osascript 
     
    and the script is as follows:
     
     
    tell application "Moom"    arrange windows according to snapshot named "MyLayout" end tell   This assumes you've set up a Window Layout Snapshot in Moom called "MyLayout" & which is appropriate for the selected files.   I've set up custom snapshots on all three of my machines for the optimal workspace layout based on screen size.  Since Moom prefs. are local to each machine (and hence customized based on screen size) but Alfred prefs. are synced in Dropbox, this works great.  I can use the same keyword on each machine, and get appropriate results.

    dfay got a reaction from Jasondm007 in Include Snippet Triggers in snippet keyword and viewer   
    Since moving my snippets from TextExpander to Alfred, I have added a lot of snippet triggers to my workflows.  However, using the snip keyword and/or the snippet viewer, the only results shown are snippets, not snippet triggers.  Could we have the option to include snippet triggers in these results as well?

    In Alfred 4 there is `Only Show Enabled` setting but no `Only Show Disabled` which to me is very useful too as I want to instantly see all the disabled workflows I have in my library. I have over 100 workflows and disable ones I am not using now but still want to keep.
     

     
    Would appreciate this option being added.

    dfay reacted to vitor in Wrong shortcut   
    Alfred uses Spotlight’s metadata. If you “Get Info” on iTunes, you’ll see it has the following keywords: “Music, Radio, Apple Music, Apple Radio, iTunes Radio, Beats 1, Beats One, B1, iCloud Music Library, Apple Music Connect, My Music”. The “L” in “iCloud Music Library” is the likely culprit.
  8. Thanks
    dfay got a reaction from IanO in Wrong shortcut   
    Did you transfer Alfred prefs from the old Mac?  If not it’s working off Spotlight data from the new machine and I wouldn’t be surprised if Apple weights the native apps more heavily.  I’d expect that after a few days of use Alfred should (re)learn your use patterns.

    dfay got a reaction from deanishe in Date Snippet - st, nd, rd, th date and next business day   
    This snippet will give you today's date:
     
    {date:EEEE, MMMM d, YYYY}
     
    You can use the native snippets feature for this, you don't need a workflow.  The docs are a little lacking, though ( https://www.alfredapp.com/help/features/clipboard/dynamic-placeholders/#date-time ) - I had to dig around a bit in the incomprehensible Unicode docs to figure out how to get the day of the week (EEEE).
     
    Getting the next business day is trickier.  It wouldn't be hard to get tomorrow except on Fridays, then get Monday, but if you want to take into account local holidays then you'll need to pull in calendar data from somewhere.

    dfay reacted to Acidham in Alfred Markdown Notes   
    Markdown Notes help to manage Markdown files in a directory with powerful full text search (supports & and |), tag search or search for todos ( - [ ] or * [ ]) . It also allows to quickly create new notes based on custom templates.
     
    I started to write this to replace the ton of Note taking apps that I used a while ago. I spent a lot of time to get this to work and the setup is a bit complex but once you went thru the steps it can indeed replace your note taking app. 
     
    The best MD Editor for this purpose is Typora but any other MD editor works as well.

    dfay got a reaction from yellowsoar in Fuzzy, self-updating list filter workflow template (working in 12.3)   
    # fuzzylist
    Fuzzy, self-updating list filter workflow for Alfred 3 & 4
    This is a workflow template - it does nothing as is.
     
    ## Usage:
    - create a csv file like you would for an Alfred List Filter, with an optional fourth field containing the path to an icon file for that result.
    - name the file *list.csv* and add it to the workflow directory
    On the initial run, the workflow will create a file list.json for output to the fuzzy search.  If list.csv is modified, it will update list.json .  
     
    ## Credits
    - uses fuzzy.py by @deanishe - https://github.com/deanishe/alfred-fuzzy

    It only does the conversion if the json file doesn’t exist or if the modification date of the csv is newer. The files I use it with only have 80-100 entries but I haven’t noticed any performance issues when I have changed the csv.

    I got this to work the way I wanted. This workflow uses bash scripts. However, one of the bash scripts adds 
     
    osascript -e 'tell application "Finder" to activate'
     
    at the end to bring Finder to the front. I added this to others, like "fo" and "rf" and it works perfectly!

    dfay reacted to Belfong in 9th anniversary!   
    I’m a Mega Supporter and all I used Alfred over the years is just to launch apps and search for files. But in my current third year, I started using some workflows. I started with the simple ones: unit conversions, paste as plain text, started using Clipboard /Snippets shortcuts only recently. What I’m trying to say is, you can’t go wrong with the Powerpack if your Mac is your daily driver because you will discover more and more features and time saver along the way!

    create a trigger that connects to the following applescript:
    tell application "iTunes" set loved of current track to true end tell This didn't used to work with Apple Music, but it does now.
     
    Adding an Apple Music track throws up error "iTunes got an error: current track doesn’t understand the “add” message." number -1708 from current track
     
    So that's not easily possible at the moment.

    dfay got a reaction from mjwalfreds in Someone made a successor to Packal to share workflows   
    One other note re Pacmax - the design could be tightened up a lot - there’s quite a lot of white space e.g. on every page there’s a big open area with a horizontal line and then the page title in a huge font, and only below that is the actual content.  I’d also prefer one workflow per line in results, rather than needing to read down newspaper columns.  And it would be nice to keep the search box in view even when you scroll down (an issue currently exacerbated by the multi column format).

    Presumably if any automated solution based on github is to work, there would need to be a standard for how Alfred github repos are structured.

    dfay reacted to vitor in Need this super program on Windows   
    Either work on Alfred for Windows already started, or it hasn’t. If it has, registering support does nothing because it would happen anyway. If it hasn’t, even if work on it started today it would take so long (with the current team), that by the time it was done there would be no guarantee all the people asking for it today would still be interested.
     
    Over years there’s only been a handful of people expressing interest in this, not nearly enough to justify the commitment to support a whole new platform. Alfred Remote for Android would make sense way before Alfred for Windows, and that is unlikely to happen as well (there’s another thread on it).
     
    Yes, in theory it could happen. In practice, you shouldn’t get your hopes up in the slightest.

    dfay reacted to zeitlings in Simple LaTeX ⟷ Markdown converter using Pandoc   
    LaTeX ⟷ Markdown Alfred Workflow
    Quickly convert Markdown to LaTeX or vice versa from your clipboard with Pandoc.

    Description
    A simple routine to convert snippets of markdown to LateX from your clipboard or vice versa. The workflow creates either a *.md or *.tex file relative to your input and at the location you choose. The file is converted with Pandoc by calling it from the terminal. The converted file subsequently gets output at the same place. Existing files will be overwritten.
     
    Pandoc is key and has to be installed:
    $ brew install pandoc GitHub: 
    github.com/zeitlings/alfred-latex-md/raw/master/LaTeX-MD.alfredworkflow (direct download) 
    github.com/zeitlings/alfred-latex-md
      Alternative Method: Clipboard only
    An altered version that removes all created files and copies the converted output back to your clipboard:
     
    Convert markdown to LateX from your clipboard or vice versa. The workflow creates either a  *.md or *.tex file at your ~/Documents folder. The file will be converted with pandoc by calling it from the Terminal. The contents of the converted file will be copied to your clipboard. Both files will be moved to your trash bin.
