Hi,

i've downloaded it but not works in Alfred 3.6.

Any chance to update your workflow to make it workable with the new version of Alfred ?

This workflow has a broken version of Alfred-Workflow library. Did you follow the instructions to fix it?

Read the docs:

Currently, only updates from GitHub releases are supported.

There isn't releases in your repo. Furthermore you can ask @deanishe, the creator of Alfred-Workflow, to quickly review your code and tell you if everything is set for updates.

That is exactly what I was looking for but sadly the link is not working. A fix would be very appreciated!

Try ProcessControl. It does that and much more.

The color of the icon doesn't suit well in Alfred dark themes. Please, consider to change the icon's color to suit both light and dark themes or add an option to change the icon according the theme.

Thanks for sharing, @Browall! I'm happy for seeing a workflow for home automation. I personally think Alfred has a lot to do in this scope.

That said, Packal is an unmaintained project and not at all the best way to distribute your workflow. You better go with GitHub releases. Just share the workflow binary in the releases page for each released version (I also place it in the repo). A good practice is place your source code within a folder named src or source while the README, the LICENSE and the binary stay outside this folder. Additionally, use the autoupdate feature of alfred-workflow library to ensure the user has the latest version of the workflow.

Take a look on Alfred PDF Tools implementation:  https://github.com/xilopaint/alfred-pdf-tools.

Hi, this is my first time with workflows. I can launch the workflow, get the lists eg inbox, today etc. but I cannot work out 

how to create a new todo item in any of the lists. I would welcome any advice

 

Regards Anteric

Welcome to Alfred community.

You can learn how to operate the workflow by holding the action modifiers keys and reading the item subtitles. In order to create a to-do just select the target list and use ⌥ + ↵.

Update (v2.13):

• Added a Scale file action.
• Improved performance of the Split by File Size action.
• Allowed multiple PDF files selection for the Crop file action.
• Fixed a bug that prevents the user from splitting PDF files by file sizes smaller than 1 MB.

Yes, sure.  The company is based in Berlin fwiw.

Thank you! I've sent you a download link by private message.

I use PDFScanner for OCR. €17 and it works very well (with English and German). Better than Adobe Acrobat in my experience.

Does it have a CLI? I'm searching for an OCR app with a CLI.

If you send me a page, too, @xilopaint, I'll run it through PDFScanner for you. It says it supports Spanish, so it should be able to handle your weird dialect, too.

May I reply here saying thank you and f*** you? 

@dfay, I have Prizmo 3 ($50 in MAS) that works poorly for Portuguese. Considering that OCRKit is only $30 in MAS I fear that its recognition accuracy for Portuguese is not so good.

Could you process a single-page PDF file (sent by me) with the OCRKit Portuguese engine and send me the output?

I don’t know about how it’s performance compares but I’ve had very few issues with quality.

 

Nice. I'm buying the app. What's your native language? I hope it works well with Portuguese.

Yeah free OCR in my experience has always been a source of frustration in the end.  Since I gave in and bought OCRKit a couple years ago I've been using OCR much more, with very few issues.  It has a CLI and decent AppleScript support, & thus integrates quite easily with Alfred....  All of which is to say investing in free OCR is probably not the best approach.

 

Do you know if ORCKit's recognition accuracy is comparable to some renowned OCR engines like FineReader? I don't see any mention to the CLI in the App Store. Where can I read about it?

Sorry - meant to say free OCR options 

 

Alfred PDF Tools is embedded with k2pdfopt which is a CLI that has OCR capability and works with Tesseract Open Source OCR engine. The problem is the use of Tesseract engine with k2pdfopt requires the download of the language training files and additional configuration by the user (more info here).

Trying another open source OCR engine would be an option, but we have to consider if increasing the already large workflow file size (12 MB) would worth it. Maybe the OCR feature would be a work for another workflow.

In any case I'm open for suggestions.

Update (v2.12.1)

General code improvements.

Update (v2.12)

• Fixed a critical bug in Split by File Size action that under certain circumstances created files in infinite loop.
• Improved performance of Split by File Size and Optimize file actions.
• Renames to suffix the environment variable in workflow’s configuration sheet.

Update (v2.11)

Added a tag environment variable to the configuration sheet allowing the user to set his own tag for filenames once split and slice file actions output multiple files (part is default).

Nevermind. I just saw some posts above I could fix the issue rebuilding redcarpet.

Update (v2.10)

• Added a Crop file action to convert two-column pages in single pages.
• Fixed a bug that affects some file actions once the PDF file contains links.

I'm getting this with the latest version:

Does anyone who uses this workflow look at this topic? If so, did it stop working for you in the last few days? I reached out to the developer but he supposedly hasn't used this site in years. Can anyone take a crack at fixing it? I would, but I have no idea how to code.

If you have upgraded to Alfred 3 recently, it should be the problem. Here's a link with the fixed workflow.

Any news here?

I would really love to take advantage of this workflow, but the process is a little too complicated for me. I get that this is dependent on q_workflow and oneupdater, I am just not sure what to do with that. 

 

Anyways, as you can see I don't know what I am doing. Is there anyone out there that would be willing to help people like me with instructions on how to make this happen? I would greatly appreciate it. 

If the keyword todo is not working for you, please paste here what you get in the debug console after typing it.

I don't know others, but I'd rather the default action was auto paste.

I'm having issues with Google engines and Amazon. Wikipédia and DuckDuckGo are ok.

Hey @deanishe, just here to say thank you for the great enhancements in the last Searchio! 2.0 pre-release! The info.plist rewriting mechanism works like magic!
