Hey guys,
I wrote a simple countdown program in Python and use it in Alfred with a script filter.
It basically shows the remaining time to a date.
Everythin works just fine, but the result is, of course, a fixed remaining time.
I was wondering if there is a way to refresh the result (for example every second) to have a live countdown?
I tried it with a loop/sleep in Python, but that doesn't work since the script doesn't end and Alfred seems to wait for that.
Thanks in advance!
Tim
Is there a way to auto refresh results?

Hey Vitor,
thanks for your reply.
Nice idea, it's sufficient for my use case, so thank you! However, a built-in function could suppress the complete reload of the Alfred window, of course.
I totally agree with you, it's not a must-have-feature coming from Alfred, I was just wondering whether I just missed it.
There might be some similar use cases to the ones mentioned in your post (top, wolfram; e.g. ping, download progress, ...), we'll see what the community will come up with.
Best regards!
