Hey hey! Good eye on the Alfred 2 folder issue - I've now updated the relevant lines to use the Alfred 3+ naming conventions. But I think the real problem may actually lie elsewhere, as now I'm getting the same issue you originally had (i.e. with the null return). Not sure what has changed... don't suppose you have any other ideas?

Ah, I'd assumed you were on an older version because I think /Library/Caches/com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred-2/Workflow Data/ is for Alfred 2, not 3 - so it may be that there was some sort of issue tied to updates or something. In any event, glad it's sorted!

Hey @GoOz, Hmmm, I'm not sure... I can't recreate the issue, as my WR workflow continues to work fine (though I'm on Alfred 3, not 2). Given that the missing Workflow Data folder that initially caused the error message is not unique to this workflow, however, I think my inclination would be to first try a reinstall and see if things get sorted that way.

For those who registered for an API while it was still available from WordReference, the current workflow version is back up and running on the latest Alfred release.

That'd be great! Unfortunately I'm really in over my head with the debugging.

Wordreference should have emailed you the API key originally, no? If you can't find the email they sent you, you need to go to ~/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/Workflow Data/wordreference, open settings.plist, and then copy the numbers at the end of that line. That's your API.

Sorry, I can't help if you don't already have access to an API key. My only suggestion would be to email them to gently express your disappointment and your desire to be notified if they should ever change their new policy.

Sorry for the slow reply. Unfortunately only translations that involve English are made available by the wordreference API, so it's impossible at this point in time.

I believe the download links are all down. My alleyoop keeps crashing silently, so I was hoping to reinstall it... but I can't find it for the life of me.

That totally fixed it. Thanks so much!

Thanks for the help, but I still can't get it to work. In fact, I tried getting rid of the launchpad corner altogether and the only one I can get to work is still mission control. Just in case I'm doing something obvious wrong, you'll find the relevant part of the script below. Thanks again!

Love the idea. Does this work on Mountain Lion? I can use the script to disable hot corners, but the workflow refuses to re-enable most of them (both newer features such as Launchpad, but even "show desktop"). I get a notification that they've been re-enabled, but only one corner (the one I have set to what's now called "Mission Control") actually has been. Thanks, Anthony

Hey Mahmoud, I took a look at the wordreference results for the thesaurus and I can't figure out a way to return them in Alfred without the whole thing becoming unwieldy. There are just too many different senses for words, which then have a whole slew of associated synonyms. The only way I can think to do it is with a drill down menu, such that you enter a word (e.g. "cold") and then you choose among the potential meanings (e.g. "said of weather", "said of people", "absence of warmth", etc.), press enter, and then are returned a new list with synonyms for that particular sense of the word. Unfortunately I am not a real programmer so I wouldn't know where to even start to do that (and I can't say for certain whether the wordreference website makes it possible to do). So alas, you'll need to hope that an actual programmer can come to your rescue on that one. Sorry about that, Anthony

Hey Mahmoud, The English monolingual dictionary cannot be accessed except through the wordference website, but I can add in the English thesaurus if you'd still want it on its own. Let me know, Anthony

Merged it and made you a collaborator. And thanks for the offer; I'll pm you next time I'm trying to sort out some github stuff.
