    Reminders

    in Share your Workflows

    Posted · Edited by roccitman

    Are you on OS 10.8 or 10.9? Has it always been like this when using the workflow?

     

    That behaviour sounds like the Reminders application is being accessed by AppleScript. This should only happen for a few seconds, unless you have many incomplete reminders, or are running OS 10.9.

    10.9. 

     

    [edit: fat-fingered the post button]

     

    Sorry, 10.9 Mavericks here on a late 2008 MB. I have the latest version of the WF. By incomplete reminders do you mean ones that have passed their due date? I do have a handful of those. Total reminders across two lists are about 25.

     

    And no, I've never noticed this behavior. Of course, I just upgraded to Mavericks so that might be it too.

    Am I misreading a post above? My Reminders application is oddly wadded up from time to time, beach balling and being unresponsive. Seems to be for a few minutes after I create a reminder with the Alfred workflow. Does that jive with what you're saying above?

    There's something odd going on here. I'm looking into it.

     

    Edit: looks like an Alfred update might have broken something.

     

    Yeah, you know how Alfred sometimes learns what you're doing? That's what it seemed like. After using some of the other ones like rhelp and radd it got the hang of it.

    “radd this...” seems to work … it added the browser's URL to Reminders... and after doing this, the other ways to create entries seem to work too... no idea why.  :mellow:

    Something similar happened to me (I'm on Mavericks). It was like I needed to teach Alfred to recognize the "r" command by showing it the radd command. Works great now.

    Some data. I know you're working on this. Is there somewhere we can make a humble donation for all of your hard work this year?

    Does anyone have any issues with your reminders being truncated?

     

    Example:

     

    "r Create a long reminder to see if the reminder works" may come up as "Create a long remind" instead.

     

    Sometimes it does it, sometimes it doesn't. I can't duplicate it. I ran the rtest and everything comes up ok

    I believe, in that example at least, that the word 'to' is a reserved word that the workflow uses as a delimiter. Try something like: http://d.pr/i/P1A9

    Would it be possible to add relative dates such as 

    "remind tomorrow to ..."

    "remind on Friday to..."

    "remind on thursday at 3pm to ..."

    Here, friday refers to next friday, thursday to next thursday... That would be great because I am not very good in calculating the date of next saturday instantly (part of the problem being that I often don't know today's date). 

    I think we've already got that. See: http://d.pr/i/vmy7

    Yup I Thought so. Actually, that module is not mandatory - I got lazy when creating this and used that function for its convenience. I uploaded a new version that does not use it.

    Please try it (Modified link in first post). Thanks for reporting this - I've got so many extras in perl installed, including different perl versions, its hard to tell what will/not work in other machines. On another note, if for any reason this workflow does not work for you and you still need this functionality, try the one hosted on my blog here - I've been using it for ages and it works well.

    Works great! Adding my own cities now! Thanks!

    Can you launch a terminal and let me know which one of these commands print an error and which ones don't print out anything?

     

    Thanks for helping!

     

    Looks like the last one generated an error

    Hey great idea and one I could use. I'm having trouble installing the modules. I didn't see a readme but did find some documentation in the info.plist file. I tried to install Text::Capitalize but I keep getting funky errors

    Bad luck... Still failed!

    Can't access URL ftp://mirror.fraunhofer.de/CPAN/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz.

    Could not fetch authors/01mailrc.txt.gz

     

    So if I can figure that out are the other modules installed in the same way?

    sudo cpan install DateTime

    sudo cpan install Date::Parse

    sudo cpan install DateTime::TimeZone
