Hah, oh goodness, repairing permissions was probably overkill ;-). That's actually the expected behavior, though. The old automatic-extraction behavior could've caused problems with Alfred, and was a bit clumsy besides; this behavior ensures that you go through Alfred when importing the workflow, and do a sight-check to make sure that you actually downloaded a workflow before it opens anything.

Ahhhhhhh... I'm supposed to install manually! Doh!

So it's working correctly then :-)

Hi,

I've downloaded the version you linked to and installed it. I notice your website says "Last updated 29 March 2013" and the initial post from this thread makes it look like it was last updated 4 April (which is when you last edited the initial post), so without Alleyoop showing a version number it's a little confusing!

- I tried again just now to update "Edit with" but no luck.

- Script action is indeed "python act.py {query} 2>&1 | tee act.log", with no characters escaping.

- The act.log file now shows:

"Saved Edit with... to Downloads"

So not sure why it's not progressing from there to installing?

- I've tried "Update All" and updating individually.

- I deleted Evernote 4.5, but I still have the old version of the Edit with script installed if you want me to zip up the workflow folder and send you that?

Hi,

So I found the 1.5 of Edit With and removed 1.6 and put 1.5 back.

I also deleted Alleyoop and reinstalled it.

And just for fun I repaired my permissions ;-)

When I choose to update "Edit With", Alleyoop downloads the new 1.6 version correctly to my downloads folder, notifies me, and then does nothing.

Not sure what's going on.

Does python version matter? I have 2.7.4.

I just checked the act.log file and it hasn't been updated since 13/4 when it shows "Downloaded Built-in Sharing". However, my notifications show many update messages, and for the wrong versions... e.g. downloaded Evernote 4.5, when the most recent version is 5. v4.5 is in my downloads folder too.

Hi Carlos,

I'm pretty sure I did update it first, but now I've manually updated the workflows I'll have to wait for future updates to test again.

Sorry for not double checking.

Hi Carlos,

Your Evernote script just gets better and better!

I've noticed that neither your Evernote script or Edit with script are updating for me with Alleyoop. I've posted on the Alleyoop thread too, but it only seems to be your scripts so I thought I'd mention it here.

Hi, it's no longer working for me, at least with the two apps that need updating, Evernote and Edit With by Carlos. It tells me that there are updates available but then goes through and updates them with the old versions. For example, I have "Edit With" version 1.5. Alleyoop is telling me that there is a 1.6 available. I select to update, it send me the notification that update is complete, but then I'm left with 1.5.

As they are both by Carlos, I wonder if there's something particular to his scripts. Will mention it on one of his threads as well.

Wow, Vitor, it's crazy quick now!

Thank you for your words, and thank you for describing your use cases. It makes sense, and I’ll keep it in mind.

 

As I’ve said, I’m already thinking of ways to do it, so you can mix it with tags, and still be usable. Do you think the proposed solution (something like “pin onetag anothertag {{input a description between these}}) would work acceptably? I’ve finished editing the top post for the new update, I’ll follow this with a post explaining the differences from the old implementation.

I think squiggly brackets would work but something quicker to type would be perhaps splitting the description from tags with a forward slash,

e.g. pin onetag anothertag / This is my description, and if there is no slash then there is no description.

Hey Vitor, no stress, it's great already :-)

If you can build in descriptions, then I can always copy and paste the text I want into Alfred, so auto setting the description from highlight isn't even necessary.

When I add a description, it is normally for two reasons -

1) It helps me distinguish between lots of similar links. For example, I was looking for software earlier that allows sharing of a mouse and keyboard between computers, and bookmarked a few, noting in the description the relative advantages of each.

2) If I can't really remember a link well and I do a search, tags are great, but the description can be rich in keywords too, without inflating my tag cloud.

I see your point :-)

Hi Carlos,

I would suggest using @ for notebook and keeping # for tags.

Hi Vitor, this is great, thanks!

Two things would make it better:

- If text is selected on the page, have it saved as the description

- Description can be set manually from Alfred

All the best,

Alex

Wow, can't thank you enough for this!

Hi Carlos,

This is fantastic. Is it possible to specify the notebook when adding a note, as is possible with tags?
