Wordius

@Carloz-Sz Download and tested. Works perfectly for me. Many thanks. When you’re finished testing, I’ll share the link to the download here.

@twinpeaks: I can certainly understand how useful it is to include a URL when filing snippets of text from web pages and elsewhere. @Carlos-Sz: And with that, your single, multi-path workflow will replace four of my existing Alfred workflows. Brilliant stuff, and thanks for even entertaining the idea, let alone implementing it.

@Carlos-sz, @twinpeaks The workflow is working as intended. The ‘clipboard’ content added to the note is the URL of the frontmost tab in Safari, as in the examples below. For the first note – at the bottom – I cleared the clipboard manually before appending the note. Should add that all I was trying to do was prevent the URL being added to the note. Most of these notes will be added ‘blind’, throughout the day. I wanted to avoid having to edit the file to remove all the URLs.

Thanks, Carlos. I’m using it with the keyword ‘newf’, but whichever option I choose – New Text File from Text Selection, New Blank Text File, Type the Text… – the content of my clipboard is pasted into the target file, including when holding down fn to append a journal entry. This, I believe, is the intended use for the workflow. What I am trying to achieve is Type the Text combined with fn to make a new journal entry without pasting in the content of the clipboard. As an aside, I’m using the ‘Journal entry’ feature to append text to a scratchpad – a text file in nvALT where I collect random notes – rather than an actual journal.

Great work, Carlos. This is easily the best file-creation workflow I’ve come across. My only problem is that most of the time I’m not going to need the addition of clipboard information to a file. So, in order to use this workflow, I have to clear the clipboard manually before creating a note or appending to a note. Can you think of a better workaround for this? Thanks again.
