But that only tells your how to interact with a particular app (and often poorly), not how to use the language itself.

But deanishe talked about "the actual API for talking to applications".

JavaScript is a much more pleasant language to use than AppleScript (what isn't?), but the actual API for talking to applications is even more demented (it is at least "native" in AppleScript, not a nasty hack),  almost never documented (you spend a lot of time trying to guess what methods and attributes are called), and often simply doesn't work with a given application.

What do you mean with "almost never documented"? I thought JXA had a dictionary similarly to AppleScript.

I am thinking about to learn JXA so rewriting my Things workflow, originally written in AppleScript, feels a good opportunity.

How do you guys see JXA in comparison to AS? Should I expect some gain in performance?

Is there any workflow library for JXA? Maybe rewriting my workflow would not worth the effort if there isn't any workflow library for Alfred feedback generation in XML or JSON.

Update (v1.4.2)

Added new icons for projects and to dos.

Not working for me with VirtualBox 5.2. Nothing relevant in debug console.

EDIT: nevermind, now I see there's an open issue in GitHub.

Sorry to respond so late. Using those icons from the Anytime and Upcoming lists would look great. I'm still heavily using both versions of Things, so this workflow has been a real help. The new Areas icons look sharp, too. Thanks for all your work on this.

Can you confirm if is there any workflow feature not working with Things 2?

Update (v1.4.1)

• Fixed a bug that caused the wrong list was displayed in Things UI when a to do was actioned in Alfred.

• Minor code improvements.

It seems not work in Alfred 3.5.1

 

It's not an issue with Alfred version. High Sierra has introduced some changes on how the history is stored.

You can use this workflow for searching Safari history which is HS compatible.

Update (v1.4)

Added support for non-English languages.

Update (v1.3.1)

• Added new areas icon for consistency with Things app.
• Fixed a bug that could cause conflicts in some actions when multiple to dos in different lists had the same title.

lol@release notes. 

Nice workflow. But I'm missing the Steve Jobs glasses. These are more from Bill Gates. 

Someone released a workflow for it:

https://github.com/rx2130/alfred-safari-history-search

The documentation search is a very handy functionality for workflow developers in general. I simplified the workflow to this single feature for my personal use.

Big update for version 3.

 

• Option to exclude units when copying
• Add per-dimensionality defaults
• Option to specify thousands separator
• Option to specify custom decimal separator
• Add cryptocurrencies
• Update Alfred-Workflow
• Update Pint

Deanishe, sorry for hijacking the thread for a simple question. But what versioning criteria do you use to release a new major version?

I have read about SemVer that a new major version should come out when "any backwards incompatible changes are introduced to the public API". What can this mean in terms of an Alfred Workflow? Would it be the case of a new version for Alfred 3 that becomes incompatible with Alfred 2? Can I release a new major version just because of significant new features?

Update (v2.9)

Added progress bar for a more friendly tracking of the Optimize action.

Thanks @jeffsui for the sample workflow and @deanishe for his contribution in that thread:

Oh, I didn't know the workflow worked with Things 2. In this case I might consider to set the icons of Anytime and Upcoming lists for Next and Scheduled. What do you think about this idea?

Besides that, is there any workflow feature not working with Things 2?

I noticed this workflow also deprecates gracefully when running Things 2 instead of Things 3.

What do you mean here? I didn't get it, probably because of my bad English.

A new version supporting High Sierra has been released.

Update (v2.8)

Added file action to decrypt PDF files.

Update (v1.3)

• This update changes how deadlines are displayed in subtitles for consistency with Things;
• Simplified connections in Alfred editor for better maintenance.

Is there a way for individual users to modify this for the apps they choose?

 

I tried unzipping the workflow, editing shortcuts.py and rezipping into cheatsheet.workflow but when I went to install it said "document could not be opened".

Right-click on the workflow in Alfred Preferences and choose Open in Finder so you can edit its files.

The most disruptive workflow in my opinion is an utility: OneUpdater by @vitor. Download it, update your workflows with the new features of v3 and set OneUpdater in all of them to ensure the Alfred community is up to date.

Btw, could you update your Pirate Bay workflow using the variable for the cache folder? You hard coded the path of v2.

Does the API enable us to mark events as "going" or "interested"? If so you could build the workflow to list all events that we are invited and we could conveniently use Alfred modifier keys to confirm, decline or show our interest on them. Otherwise the default use case would be better (I'm considering that replying to an event includes mark them as "going" or "interested", is this right?).

+1 for Pixelmator and Evernote.
