Hi @christianmagill, thank you for the reminder, just run the workflow and it works correctly now.

The Arc browser does not implement the necessary AppleScript support. That is something which needs to be addressed from their side. It should be possible, seeing as they’re a Chromium-based browser. Once (if) they make it available (and assuming they don’t change the dictionary) it will work automatically.

Thank you for the advice. I'll just skip the automation task and just use the page title at the moment.

One step in my workflow is using the Automation Task "Run JavaScript in Chromium Browser Tab" to fetch specified text as page title. It works correctly in Google Chrome,  but fails in the Arc browser.

The problem is the output of the Automation Task is always an empty string, regardless of the JavaScript it executes.

For example, the JavaScript is document.getElementById('productTitle').innerText to get the product title on an amazon product page. In Google Chrome, the output is the title returned by the code, but in Arc browser it is an empty string.

I also tested the with alert(document.getElementById('productTitle').innerText), it runs and alert the title, so the title is there, but seems cannot set to output.

The automation works correctly in Arc Browser.

@WAD Sorry, here is the link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/a537geh8v11rj5m/Send URL.alfredworkflow?dl=0

I modified all Alfred-2 to Alfred, so it works again.

In case anyone need it, here is the modified version, compatible with Alfred 4

This is for maximum compatibility with the app you are launching. You can change this behaviour by right clicking in the hotkey field and selecting the fastest mode...

 

 

Hope this helps!

 

Cheers,

Thank you very much. Works great.

Hi, I add a hotkey to launch app from "Templates" -> "Files and Apps" -> "Launch file group from hotkey".

It seems there is some delay before the app is launched. Do I miss something?

Thanks

Hi, there is something wrong after delete an item from faves list.

When add to favorite without delete any item, favorites.json is like following:

 ["\/Users\/suyejun\/Dropbox","\/Users\/suyejun\/Dropbox\/code"]

After you delete an item from faves list, favorites.json is like following: 

{"1":"\/Users\/suyejun\/Dropbox\/code"}

Then, when I delete an item, it cannot match any item in my favs list and delete nothing.
