Hi Andrew, if this workflow still works, could I get a copy too? I would like to make a custom search for transforming geographic coordinates (inputs are x and y) using this website: https://epsg.io/transform#s_srs=3632&t_srs=4326&x=23388210.0736364&y=10063500.5951367

Workflow Description

 

 

 

 

 

With this little workflow, you can select a bunch of files, trigger the workflow (hotkey or keyword) and type in the comments you’d like to add. The extension allows for a default action when encountering existing spotlight comments, as well as interactive mode and parameter options (more on that later).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Installation and Setup

 

 

 

 

 

Download and import. As for setup, there isn’t much to it. Simply define what your desired default action should be when encountering existing comments. Change property defaultOverwrite : "append"  accordingly. Possible options are append, replace and interactive.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Extension Usage

 

 

 

 

 

Triggering the extension and entering text without any of the following parameters will default the the behaviour discussed above, with the exception of delete of course.

 

 

• -d — Will remove any spotlight comment from the selected files;
• -a — Will append to existing comments;
• -r — Will replace existing comments;
• -i — Will function interactively allowing you to decide on a file by file basis. It will display the existing comment to facilitate your decision too

 

There is no need to leave any space after the parameter but you can do so if you prefer (it will be stripped from the begging)

 

 

 

Unfortunately, the link doesn't work anymore. I imagine it won't work in Alfred 4 though, give that Dellu's version didn't wk. Any update on this?

Sorry for the late response. I have fully rewritten this workflow using Python 3 and pikepdf (a more modern library than Pypdf). Your files work perfectly in this new unreleased version. The problem is I can't release it until the system Python gets upgraded to 3.10 which can take a long time. I don't know why pikepdf cannot be imported by Python 3.8 and 3.9. If someone gives me some light on what changed on Python 3.10 about imports maybe I can release the new version before the upgrade.

Okay, I'm liking forward to the release! I don't mind using Homebrew.

Hello thanks for this, but it doesn't work anymore. Any idea for getting it to work in recent Alfred versions?

Hey thanks for this. Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't understand how to install this workflow (with Hook 3.4.3 and Alfred 4.6.3).  All I get from the workflow download on this page (https://hookproductivity.com/help/automation/alfred-workflows/) is a zip file that contains two png images and a file called info.plist. If I change the extension of the zip file to ".alfredworkflow" Alfred tells me that this is not a valid workflow. How do I install this?

Thanks for the help

Unfortunately, I can't reproduce the issue without the offending PDF files. If you still want me to take a look into it you can send me the files via PM.

I'm having the same issue. I'll send you the offending files by PM and you could look into the issue if you have the time. Thanks for making this workflow, I'm looking forward to using it.

No, sorry. I've been using my own custom config for a decade. Anything I say regarding default shortcuts is very likely to be wrong.

 

 

Intermittent issues are a nightmare to figure out.

 

Sorry, I don't know what else to suggest. Perhaps @Vero has an idea?

Thanks for your sympathy, I finally figured it out

The behaviour can actually be reliably reproduced by typing the name of an application in Alfred and then pressing CMD + Down arrow. The source of the problem what that, using BetterTouchTool, I had reprogrammed the enter key to CMD+Down arrow for the Finder only (which, in the Finder, is basically the same as a double click). This way, the enter key would behave more like it does in Windows. The reason the issue was intermittent was that it would occur only when I called Alfred with the Finder as the topmost window. This is actually not an Alfred bug, just a muddle on my behalf. My apologies and thanks for your help.

Well, you seem to be entering Navigation Mode instead of opening the application.

Do you know what default keyboard shortcut in Alfred would open Navigation mode on an app? In other words, which keyboard shortcut is supposed to allow entering Navigation Mode on an app?

Do you have any applications running that change the way the keyboard works?

Yes I do (most importantly BetterTouchTool and Keyboard Maestro). Keyboard Maestro is probably not the culprit because I get the problem without it, but apparently not without BetterTouchTool.

After tedious testing, I suspect some recursive shortcut in BetterTouchTool might be creating the problem. I will investigate this. Since the problem only occurs sometimes, it takes ten times longer to find what is causing the problem. Just now after an hour without the problem, I thought it was solved, but it seems to have randomly reappeared without any change in the keyboard-tweaking applications.

Thanks for your help deanishe

I am not sure whether this is a bug or a feature that I do not understand, but here goes.

Description of the problem:

The problem occurs ~50% of the time if I do the following:

(1) I call Alfred (ALT+TAB on my system)

(2) I type in the program's name ("X"):

(3) I press ENTER:

Unless I'm missing something, the app should be opened instead of showing its path. If I press enter again, the app's package content is shown:

If I press enter again, I go down into the folder.

Additional info:

*The problem also occurs if I press space into Alfred before writing "Excel" (so as to instruct Alfred to open the app).

*The problem never seems to occur if instead of pressing ENTER on the app in Alfred search, I click the app, i.e. there is no problem if I call Alfred (ALT+TAB), type "Excel", and then use my cursor to click on the first search result.

* What you were doing when the issue happened:

This happens for many apps, not just Excel. But when the issue last happened, I was trying to open Excel by calling Alfred (ALT+TAB). When it first happened I was trying to open Firefox.

* Whether you were able to replicate it a second time by performing the same action:

Yes, but the issue occurs sometimes only, and only when the program that I'm trying to open is not already open. That is, assuming Excel is not already running, when I call Alfred (ALT+TAB), type in "Excel" and then press ENTER, one of following two things occurs:

(1) Excel opens (what I want), with ~50% probability.
(2) The problem described above occurs, with ~50% probability.

If the problem occurs once, it can be consistently repeated for the next minute or two, i.e. the probability of the problem occurring given that it has happened in the last minute or two is ~100%. If the problem occurred in the last minute or two when trying to open the Excel app, it will occur when trying to open any other app too.

Likewise, if the problem does not occur (the desired program opens), then the problem will not recur in the next minute or two, i.e. the probability of the problem occurring given that it has not happened in the last minute or two (despite an attempt to trigger the problem) is ~0%.

* Alfred version: 4.6.1 (1274)

* macOS version: Big Sur 11.6.2. My mac, a mid-2014 Macbook Pro Retina 13-inch, is too old to upgrade to MacOS 12.

Edit: In a previous version of this post, I wrote that the problem does not occur if the app is already running. But this does not appear to be true, I also actually do get the problem with open apps.

Thanks for this lxbrvr. I'm trying to select the .kdbx database file, but for some reason it won't let me, the files are greyed out (see below). Strangely enough, I have the exact same problem when trying to set up the other KeePassXC workflow (by angoll).

Merci de votre aide! J'ai toujours apprécié les efforts d'intégration de Druide. J'attendrai votre réponse.

Merci pour votre réponse rapide. Je comprends que votre simple script ne semble pas être en soit à l'origine du problème. @AntidoteConnect auriez-vous une piste?

Many thanks for this workflow JolinM. I use the Antidote 9 workflow. This appears to be the thread for both Antidote 9 and 10, so I'll write here.

If I launch Antidote 9 to search a word's definition (first image), Antidote 9 launches but I initially get a blank page (second image) instead of the intended definition page (third image). To get to the definition, I have to e.g. click on "synonyms" then re-click on definitions, which takes a second or two.

This does not seem intended, anyway to get the definition directly?

Thanks again so much for making this!
