It sounds like a re-occurence of the Sierra bug. I did change that section of the code in the latest release of Alfred-Workflow (which Fakeum uses).
 
I haven't had any issues on El Cap or Sierra, but I don't have High Sierra to test it on (and I'm not going to install it, as it's still rotten with bugs).
 
At this point, I'd like to wait and see if anybody else is having the same issue (which should soon become apparent, as Fixum—the workflow that fixes the Sierra bug—also installs the latest version of Alfred-Workflow). If they are, I'll back out the changes to the forking code.

Big update to version 2.0.
Many new locales Update Alfred-Workflow Number of sentences per paragraph now configurable Add useful links to fakeconf Make keyword configurable via configuration sheet

I have rewritten it from scratch. This is my first Alfred 3 workflow, so I use it to investigate what is possible in the amazing Alfred.
 
Github
 
alfred-ffprobe
Alfred 3 workflow to display an information about various video files.
Installation
Install the ffprobe to your MacOS.
You could do it for example by using Homebrew and installing ffmpeg package. brew install ffmpeg Install alfred-ffprobe wokflow.
All further updates are handled automatically.
Usage
Select a video file or more video files in finder and invoke the alfred file actions ⌃⌘\.

Choose the Analyze media file... in displayed menu and select appropriate action.

Then, the information about selected videos will be shown. The full ffprobe output could be retrieved by selecting the option Full output.

From time to time, full results could be annoying, so there is another option just showing the results describing inner streams. Just select the option Just streams. Output is much more well-arranged.

FYI the latest version (v73) now includes an external trigger. I just tested it with the "this" keyword, and it seems to work correctly:


 
 
 

You can't save the CSV file in the workflow. Any changes the user makes will be overwritten by a workflow update. User data goes in the workflow's data directory.
 
Also, don't set variables with names like PATH or HOME. They're critically important system variables. Overwriting PATH with a meaningless value, like you're doing, is a fantastic way to break the world.
 

I have re-implemented ctwise's excellent implementation of the Menu Search workflow in Swift.
 
This version is ever so slightly faster (at least on my machine ) - YMMV.
 
Requires OSX 10.7+
 
↓ Download

Refer Github README page for up-to-date information.
Usage
Type m in Alfred to list menu bar items for front most application You can filter menu items by name, or do a fuzzy search.
E.g
m new tab will match the menu item New Tab m cw will match the menu item Close Window  
Setup
Note that Accessibility must be enabled for Alfred in order for this to work correctly.
 
For example, in macOS Sierra, this is configured using the Security and Privacy preference pane, under the Privacy tab with the Accessibility section selected. Alfred must be included in the list of apps allowed to control your computer. This step is required for the workflow to generate the list of menu items, and also click on a specific menu item. 
 
Here's a snapshot of what the preference pane might look like in macOS Sierra.
 

 

This just creates a new note in notes.app. To keep it simple, it just uses the first folder in the first account it finds. You can change this behaviour by editing providing the respective names in the "properties" in the applescript.
 
Usage
 
To search existing notes, type "n search_term" into Alfred. E.g. "n something I wrote yesterday" (not working in macOS High Sierra)
To create a new note, just type "n note_text" into Alfred. E.g. "n something very important I will probably forget"
To create a note from the clipboard, type "nclip optional_note_name"
Hold option to open the note in a new window after creating it.
 

 
iCloud Notes on OS 10.11+
 
As of Mac OS El Capitan, you are given the option to upgrade iCloud notes accounts. Once you do this, with the normal Notes workflow you'll start seeing duplicate lines in notes. The reason for this is that prior to the upgrade the "Title" of the note and the "Body" of the note were displayed separately. After the upgrade, Notes assumes the title is *not* also included in the body, which is different behaviour, and led to the apparent duplication.
 
Sadly there's no reliable way for the workflow to detect whether your Notes account has been upgraded or not, so fixing it would entail breaking it on installs that have not undergone this upgrade. Therefore I have opted to make a separate Workflow which is to be used by anyone who has upgraded to the new iCloud version of Notes. You will find that download link below.
 
Changelog:
Tuesday, 5th July 2016 - Fixed a regression where "nclip" would not work if a custom title was provided
Thursday, 30 June 2016 – Compatibility for users who did not previously have Alfred v2 installed
Wednesday, 27 January 2016 – Fixed an issue with notes from clipboard not working; existing iCloud notes are now searched too (thanks, Vero!)

Friday, 5 April 2013 – Fixed an issue where a temporary file was getting written to the wrong place, sorry about that! Thursday, 4 April 2013 – Combined into single workflow; renamed to "Notes"; fixed an issue with clip keyword; nclip now pastes HTML if possible; workflow will notify if updates are available Saturday, 16 March 2013 – First version  
Download (Alfred v3 and iCloud)
http://bit.ly/2w2mILX
 
Note: this workflow will notify you if a newer version is available. To disable this functionality, change the property "shouldCheckForUpdates" to "false"
 
Alfred v2
It's not currently known whether the latest release will be backward-compatible with Alfred v2.
If you are using Mac OS 10.11+ and have "upgraded" your iCloud notes, you should use this workflow:
Notes for Alfred v2 (iCloud)
 
In all other cases, this is the one to use:
Notes for Alfred v2 (non-iCloud)

Issues
Please raise issues on GitHub, as it's easier for me to keep track of them there.

I created a sample workflow to demonstrate how one could implement a progress bar.


 
This workflow requires Alfred 3.2 and takes advantage of the `rerun` feature.

FYP.

We all have our dumb moments. The main thing is, spending a few minutes trying to figure it out for yourself is always the best first step because you'll often have to wait for a few hours to get an answer on the forum.

Tell a lie. I did post it here, just in another thread. Follow the instructions there (they're a bit clearer):
 
http://www.alfredforum.com/topic/5463-pandoctor-not-putting-but-no-error-messages/?do=findComment&comment=40217
 

Oh right. I don't think that's possible, no.
 
I guess what you could do is use something else as a placeholder, say two spaces or |, and put a script between the input and your large type element that replaces your placeholder with a newline.
 

Shawn (like Smargh) got a job—they were both students before—and doesn't have the time for Packal any more. I'm  pretty sure Packal is a zombie now, and v2 will probably never see the light of day.
 
Would you be interested in working on a next-gen solution for updating workflows?

Introduction

The Install App workflow speeds installation process (or rather copy) of applications downloaded outside of Mac App Store. The workflow is completely written using Bash Script.

How it works?

There are two ways to invoke that workflow:
through keyword — install — which shows all eligible files/packages (.app package, .zip archive, .dmg image and .pkg installer) found in specified folder (default is ~/Downloads) and copy, run, mount or extract them dependably of what kind of file/package we choose; you can also use install name so Alfred will narrow results;


through File Action Install App which behave in similar way as above.

The Install App workflow behaves as follow:
if you choose .app package it will be copied to /Applications folder; if you choose .pkg file it will be opened; if you choose .dmg file it will be mounted and searched for .app or .pkg to copy or run them; at the end the image will be unmounted; if you choose .zip file it will be unzipped into folder which will be searched for .app, .pkg or .dmg to copy, run or mount them; at the end the temp folder will be deleted; at the end of whole process you will be asked if you want to remove the source file.
Tips
to change folder to search for mentioned files you need to edit Script Filter element of workflow → uncomment SEARCHDIR variable and edit its value

Thanks

I would like to thank Franz Greiling who inspired me to make this workflow with his own version.

Div — simple windows manager

This is simple Alfred workflow to help you manage opened windows. It is simple (50 lines of applescript) but powerful tool. It allows you to create your own layouts, custom sizes and custom proportion.

Requirements

Some of the mac OS apps are non-scriptable which means they are not working very well with applescript. Fortunately "SystemEvents" can handle them really well. Few simple steps are required to enable Alfred's access to Accessibility tools.

1. Open System Preferences
2. Go to Security & Privacy
3. Go to last Privacy tab
4. On the left panel choose Accessibility
5. Unlock access to preferences by clicking lock in bottom left corner and pass your password
5. Click small `+` icon and add Alfred from the list.
6. Done

Other windows managers requires similar procedure. It is not related with Div only. If you use older operating system than El Capitan, have a look at great instruction on [Mizage website](http://mizage.com/help/accessibility.html).
 
Download

Download Div from Packal

How to use
 
I published a detailed instruction on my personal website. Have a look if you are keen to understand a full potential of Div.

Choose predefined layout

Simply type `div` in Alfred window and choose layout from predefined list.

Custom bounds

Choose custom bounds by passing 4 space separated values. For example `div 20 20 80 80` will place top left corner of an app 20% from top and 20% from left edge of a screen, and bottom right corner 80% from top and 80% from left edge of a screen.

Custom size

Choose custom size by passing 2 space separated values. For example `div 800 600` will resize your window to 800px width and 600px height and place the window on the middle of a screen.

Hotkeys

Use predefined settings and bind custom hotkeys to them to place window in common locations:

- ⌃ ⌥ 1  Full
- ⌃ ⌥ 2  Medium
- ⌃ ⌥ 3  Small
- ⌃ ⌥ ←  Left
- ⌃ ⌥ →  Right
- ⌃ ⌥ ↑  Top
- ⌃ ⌥ ↓  Bottom
 

 

 

 

Hello there,
 
I would like to share my emoji workflow with you:
 
Download link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/z1iipjr1qvykphm/Emoji.alfredworkflow?dl=0

 
---
 
Update 2016-09-01:
Release a different version with two more functions
Download link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/wipxjgrtec0vwlt/Emoji%20Full.alfredworkflow?dl=0
emj: copy emoji character emjimg: copy emoji image emjcode: copy emoji unicode sequence
 
---
 
The difference between this one and any other workflows that also search emoji is that, this one includes all the description and keywords in http://unicode.org/emoji/charts/full-emoji-list.html for search, make it the easiest to get the emoji you want, you don't need to remember the actual name of the emoji character, just type the word in your mind intuitively. As far as I tried, it's really smooth!
 
And the making of this workflow is also very simple, it just a List Filter -> Copy to Clipboard , the data filled in List Filter is a csv generated from Emoji One's developer toolkit (download here). The code to generate is also simple (it's Python):
# coding: utf-8 import json import csv with open('emoji.json', 'r') as f: s = f.read() emojis = json.loads(s) toutf8 = lambda x: x.encode('utf8') with open('emoji.csv', 'wb') as csvf: writer = csv.writer(csvf, delimiter=',') for i in emojis: name = i['name'].split('\n')[0] writer.writerow([ toutf8(u'{} ({})'.format(name.lower(), i['keywords'])), toutf8(i['char']), toutf8(i['char']) ]) Whenever new emojis come out in the future, you can get the emoji.json from emojione, run this code, and drag the emoji.csv into this workflow's List Filter.
 
Hope it helps!

Windows switcher
 
Description
The workflow can be used to switch between the many windows in the current desktop.
It's really easy to use, you can switch to a specific named window using the keyword swin <name of the process or name of the window>.
Then a list with the following informations about the results will appear:
Process Application name  
When you open one result, by pressing Enter on it, the selected window should be opened.
In real the workflow opens all the windows of the process, but it puts in foreground just the selected window.
With the ⌥ modifier all the windows belonging to an other processes will be hidden.

Bug
You can contact me here or by email if there is something wrong with the workflow.
I had never programmed with Applescript until now, so be kindly if the structure of the script is not so good.
Known:
All the windows of the process will be opened, not the best way. If a process has many windows in different desktop some issues can be revealed. ----------------------------------------------
Todo
Open just the selected window. Add caching system for icon path/appname (It should improve the performance of about 1 sec)

Snippet keywords allow for spaces, so if you set a space before and after your keyword, as far as I understand, you'll get exactly the result you want?
 
Cheers,
Vero

FWIW, I was looking into the security of Lastpass (and others) last night.
 
It seems that the password used to log into the online service is derived from your master password in such a stupid way as to make your master password hundreds of times easier to crack than an offline-only copy of your database would be.
 
They also do some rather questionable things, like storing known, encrypted text in the database, which also makes cracking your master password much simpler than it would otherwise be. And ironically, the known text in question is "lastpass rocks"…

That's bad Vítor. Terrible, in fact.
 
I like it.

This can already be accomplished natively by pressing ⌘↩ on the results list.

You need to change line 225 of the pandoctor.py file in the workflow.

Hey guys,
 
I just made a very simple framework to enable people to demo their alfred workflows in a prettier way than a gif. It's a mockup of alfred all in javascript and CSS, with fake osx notifications and pretend key display. Scripting is very easy and all in json and there is all the callback, timing and looping you might want.
 
Here is the live demo; it should be fully operational. More is coming but feel free to fork it on github already ! 
 
To all those who have somewhat complex workflows, now you can explain in a very simple way. I'm also thinking Packal could integrate this Detailed instructions on github.
