I use dropbox as well and it is working for me. Have you installed the Day One CLI tools from their website?

I have installed the Day One CLI... although now that I've looked into it some more I don't seem to have permission to run that from the terminal and that is probably my problem. I suspect it might be something to do with the fact that my main account is not an admin account (I have an admin accout which I don't actively use - but just use the credentials of when needed).

Ignore that last entry.. I've figured it out by making the script executable with chmod.

The workflow now seems to work: and the notification centre message is positive, but an entry isn't showing up in Day One.

Could it be because I use a dropbox folder for the Day One database?

Thanks for that... 

I have tried to set things up to get your workflow up and running but get a:

logtodayone.rb permission denied message

error message when running.

I guess that there's more to setting up the logtodayone.rb file that I thought; any ideas? 

(I simply created a file with that name and the script contents and put it in a scripts directoy in my user folder.)

Great - thanks for the reply.

I've got it now - just how I want it.

Both of these caffeinate workflows are really useful... but, what I really want is simply the ability, with one command and no parameters to simply start caffeinate for a number of hours.

I'd like to be able to to start it for 5 hours so that I don't need to bother remember to stop it.

Ideally there'd be :

- caff start

- caff stop

(and perhaps in an ideal world caff start [n] - e.g. caff start 3 - would start it for a number of hours.)

I've looked at the code for both versions - and at the caffeinate documentations: but can't figure it out at all.

Can anyone help?

Does anyone have - or can anyone help - with a simpler version?

I simply want a workflow to take a string of text and create a dayone entry leaving day one to default the date and time to current date and time.

It seems like I should be able to do something with a terminal based workflow using the Day One CLI - but after a few hours of trying, I think that it's beyond me!

thanks for your reply... I think I understand a bit better: 

checking the following option:

Shortcuts: Use <- and -> for folder navigation"

deselected the 'show actions with right arrow' in the actions settings.

When I un-checked the 1st option it didn't reset the 2nd one (which I hadn't noticed).

Anyway... I'm back how I wanted to be... not a bug, more a complicated (to me at least) set of customisable settings.

Thanks again.

I've just installed Alfred 2 with the powerpack.
