Many applications now (1password, Transmit, etc) use dropbox to sync across multiple computers. This would be very useful, so that if I install a workflow on one computer, it would also be present on all the computers on which I use Alfred.
Just a suggestion. Thank you!
Dynamic IP Address
in Workflow Help & Questions
Posted
I thought of a good idea for a workflow, but admittedly I'm quite new when it comes to this, and am running in to a lot of brick walls.
My IP at home is dynamic, and it changes on occasion. I often need to remote in to my computer at home for files, etc. When the IP changes, this obviously causes a problem.
I think a great workflow would be one that checks for the IP every X (to be set by user) hours (perhaps either using terminal ifconfig or going to whatismyip). If the IP does not change, it does nothing. If, however, the IP is changed (perhaps you could store the current IP in a text file which it compares it to?), then it will send an email to you with your new IP address. It then updates the text file with the new IP so in the future it will compare it to the new IP.
Does this make sense? Is this something within the realm of possibility with Alfred?
Thanks!
