Hey Phil, that was quick! I used Alleyoop to update my workflows (worked like a charm, btw), but the problem still occurs. I'll clarify:
1) Things is closed
2) Open Alfred, type "things #test testingnewtask"
3) Things opens, Inbox is empty (testingnewtask is not created)
If Things is open in the background, "#test newtask" is shown in the Inbox. Tag (#test) is not created, but is included in the name. Also, how do you input duedates?
Thanks again!
