    This is not working for me.

     

    I get the Growl Notification, but no file appears on my Desktop.

     

    Cheers.

     

    Did you install the wkpdf command line tool? The instructions are included in the readme section of the workflow description. Here they are (copied and pasted from the readme) for reference:

     

     

    Note: This workflow requires that you have wkpdf installed. Fire up a Terminal session and follow these steps:
     
    1. Update RubyGems if necessary (wkpdf requires version 1.3.3 or later; if you're not sure, just run the updater)
     
    sudo gem update --system
     
    2. Install wkpdf
     
    sudo gem install wkpdf
     
    That's all! You can update wkpdf to the latest version at any time with
     
    gem update wkpdf
  2. waffles_n I would recommend that you add the info about "wkpdf" being a requirement to the readme feature of your extension... I grabbed it with alfpt and had no idea why is was not working correctly. Thank you again for sharing but that could save a lot of people a lot of headache. Cheers on the great workflows lately!

     

    Good idea. Unfortunately, I don't have the scripting skills necessary to deal with checking for and installing wkpdf from within the workflow itself. I've added installation instructions to the readme portion of the workflow. Download link and Alfred repo versions updated.

  3. This workflow uses the open-source command line tool wkpdf to convert web pages to PDF. You will need to install wkpdf first, which takes about 30 seconds. Directions can be found here under the installation heading: http://plessl.github.com/wkpdf/

     
    Once wkpdf is installed, the workflow provides two options. First, grab the current page from Safari as is and output to a PDF on your Desktop. Use keyword "pdf" followed by the name you want your PDF file to have. The following example will create a PDF of the current page called Interesting Article.pdf

    The second option processes the page with Instapaper mobilizer for better reading before creating the PDF. Use keyword "ipdf" followed by the file name. The following example will create an Instapaper-ized PDF of the current page called Interesting Article Readable.pdf

  4. Thanks. This one of those things I wouldn't have thought I needed, but it's actually quite handy. I use Safari as my main browser with full-on third-party script/frame/embed/object blocking via JavaScript Blocker. Sometimes it's easier just to open a page in Chrome than to try to figure out which blocked script is breaking the page.

  5. Just a suggestion: change the default hotkey for the delete action. It's the same as Mail's hotkey to send a message, which I think is just asking for trouble. I hit Command + Shift + D to send a message, not having noticed the conflict in my brief look at the updated version of Mail Actions, and it triggered the delete action as well. Fortunately Mail crashed and I only lost a day's worth of messages (they were not in the Trash folder; should they have ended up there, or is this supposed to be a direct delete?). Granted, I should have been more careful, but I think it would be wise, for the sake of us fallible humans, to make the hotkey something that doesn't conflict with an existing Mail shortcut.

     

    Thanks for the fantastic workflow!

  6. A workflow to grab the current page from Safari and add it to your Pocket reading list via the official Mac app (free on the MAS). Confirmation is output to your default notification method. Pocket will stay in the background and out of your way as long as it's already open when you run the workflow.

     

    Update: I've added a component to add the current URL on the clipboard to Pocket, and changed the default keyword for the original component (of course, you can easily change the keywords to suit your preference).

     

    ap = add current Safari page to Pocket

    ac = add URL on clipboard to Pocket

    Install from AlfredRepo or Download here: http://d.pr/f/7aYe

     

    This workflow uses some simple bash scripts and the Pocket app's URL scheme. I've barely started to dabble in scripting of any kind, so I would welcome any advice or criticism concerning these workflows  :D

  7. An exceedingly simple workflow to browse your Safari history. Use keyword "history," then enter your search string (works by name or URL). Action a page to open it. I adapted this from an extension for Alfred 1, and so defer credit to the original author.

     

    Update: Unchecked a box so spaces are now allowed in the search string. Now available in the AlfredRepo as well.
