I found the script wasn't working reliably. Tweaked it a little.

Also: the enabling of "Allow Javascript from Apple Events" in the Safari Dev menu is necessary for the text/title selection/copying.

Cheers!

Cool, that's a nice variant!

The workflow takes the url of the active safari tab, and copies it to the clipboard.

If you want it also throws the the page title in there. 

If you have selected some text, it tries to recognize that and takes that instead of the page title. 

It also can directly paste that whole string.

That's it. Tremendously helpful for IM conversations or as a starting point for a Tweet.

I have bound it like this

• CMD Option U to copy URL
• CMD Option Shift U to paste URL
• CMD Option K to copy Page Title and URL
• CMD Option Shift K to paste Page Title/Selected Text and URL

Originally created by Michael Matochkin, I adapted the workflow over time and now publish it here. Original credits in the readme: Based on Alfred extensions by Luca Soldaini (original applescript by Dr. Drang) and Zibity

I've used an icon from the Stylistica Icon Set

That should cover it. And of course: here is the UPDATED workflow download link (see my latest comment for more info)

Cheers!

What about email addresses? I hate when people know my email address I use for iMessage but send messages to my mobile number, cause Apple still has problems with syncing up and unifying the chat history. I'd even go to a manual process! I'm only messaging a handful of people (and groups of them) on a regular basis anyway.

Cool, switching to this one

+1 for the idea can't wait for the polished thing

Hey there, sorry don't wanna disencourage you, but this workflow seems to do the same with less config hassle, right?

This is great, thanks! Any possibiltiy to add a function for group chats? Or a way to make the syntax accept them?

Oh yeah I'd be really interested in this too! The availability for movies varies greatly between the different countries, so that'd be really useful

Oh, lol. Thanks for your generous donation. I am so happy about it!

Oh please, you're very welcome! 

Works like a charm, thanks a mill!

I found that the new Skype Version 6.5.0.443 somehow denies all command sent through AppleScript API which it claimed to support. I have filled a bug report at here: http://devforum.skype.com/t5/Desktop-API/AppleScript-API-not-working-anymore-in-Skype-Version-6-5-0-433/td-p/23306

 

At the mean time, I am afraid that you may have to downgrade your Skype to Version 6.4 in order to keep using Skype Call.

roger that

Remove AppleScript in "Manage API Clients" and restart Skype and try again?

thanks, but how would I go about that?

It worked, then I re-installet Skype and now I get this, any ideas?

Is it right that this doesn't work for folders, just for files? Awesome idea either way, though ;-)

The DL doesn't work for me, is it valid?

I use it too, very handy indeed

I downloaded the Word Count workflow – how can I make it "discover" latex files?

1. Open the Workflow in Alfred Preferences

2. Double-Click the "Run Script" action

3. Add your format, i.e. date +"%B %d, %Y"

 

The +-sign says "here comes a format", double quotes wrap it and the actual characters with the %-sign appended have a specific meaning.

The possible characters for the format scan be looked up on http://strfti.me/,

Thanks a million

Have a look at this.

Is this what you need?

Exactly it, thanks Any chance to combine the same date format customization options there?

I kinda wanna  make a hotkey that directly shows the date and time in large type, but my attempts end in the script itself being shown – could somebody help me out here? Thanks, much appreciated

Thanks, for me everything works fine now

Wow, that's a mess. To reset, you just need to delete everything related to either Skype Call or Uni Call, and then install a fresh copy of the newest Uni Call.

 

To limit the functionality of Uni Call to just FaceTime and Skype, you could change the script filter "call" to:

./bin/Uni\ Call\ Basestation -fs {query}

Hope this helps

how do I go about "deleting everything" I deleted the workflow folder, is there more I can do? In the Library/Application Support Folder?

That's strange. What did u type? Did you overwrite your old version completely?

Okay, I did this: each color represents a number, and I deactivated the bluetooth calling, and I also removed all the custom contact actions, but it still apprears like this after a reinstall. is there a way to reset the whole thing? I tried deleting everything I could find before reinstalling it.
