    David reacted to Mr Pennyworth in Better Dictionaries   
    Better Dictionaries

    Better search and live previews for built-in macOS dictionaries.
     
    This post might be outdated, link to up-to-date README
    Download the latest version: Better.Dictionaries.alfredworkflow

    Features
    IPA (phonetic) pronunciations:
    Press ⌘↩ to hear the pronunciation. In-Alfred live previews with colors that
    automatically adapt to Alfred's theme:
    Reverse search:
    More relevant search results:  
    left: macOS/Alfred built-in search, right: BetterDict
    If one word has multiple, unrelated meanings with different
    origin, they are showed as diffrent entries
    (in the above example, see "arm" has two entries at the top) Import any compatible dictionary

    Setup

    After importing the workflow,
    first type .setup-better-dictionaries into Alfred
    and follow the instructions for granting permissions.

    Importing a Dictionary

    After setup, type .dict-import into Alfred.

    Select the dictionary you want to import.  

    Dictionary-specific Keywords and Hotkeys

    After a dictionary is imported, a script filter and a hotkey trigger
    is automatically created into the workflow editor. 
    Freshly-installed workflow without any imported dictionaries:
    Two hotkeys and keyword triggers each automatically added after importing
    two dictionaries. They come pre-labeled with dictionary names:
    This allows you to assign hotkeys and keywords for specific dictionaries.
    For example, below you can see how I have manually assigned keywords
    thesaurus and defn to the thesaurus and dictionary respectively.
    In addition, I can trigger the dictionary search using ⌃⌥⌘D.  


    Word Lookup

    You can use the hotkeys/keywords created above for directly searhcing
    specific dictionaries. That's the recommended way for dictionaries
    that you use frequently.

    For the infrequently used dictionaries for which you haven't assigned
    any hotkeys/keywords, follow this:
     1. Type lookup into Alfred. You'll see a list of all dictionaries
        imported into BetterDict.
       
     2. Select the dictionary to search, and type the search query.

    Notes and Warnings
    [*]Importing a dictionary could take as much as 30 minutes
    on old machines or if there's significant CPU activity from other apps.[*]After each mac restart, for the first time when you run
    the workflow, expect a comparatively slower search.
    Subsequent searches should be instant.[*]This workflow takes a LOT of space on disk. Take a look at the comparison:

     

    # Built-in dictionaries Oxford Thesaurus:   7 MB Oxford Dictionary: 36 MB # After importing into BetterDict Oxford Thesaurus:     101 MB (html files) Oxford Dictionary:    442 MB (html files) Search index for two: 730 MB (apart from html)

     

    Known IssuesThe workflow doeesn't work if the theme is Alfred Classic.  
    If you must use that theme, duplicate that theme and use the
    duplicated one.

    David got a reaction from GatorMapi in Strip formatting from clipboard text   
    Hi, this is probably the shortest and easiest workflow ever but i thought i'd post it anyway in case anyone finds it useful aswell. It simply removes the formatting from the text on the clipboard.
     
    So, if you copy some text from Firefox and paste it in an E-mail, often the pasted text will have a different font/text size/bold,italic formatting than the alredy present text in your e-mail.
    To solve this i use "Cmd + C" , "Alfred -> Strclip" , "Cmd + V", and the text will now be pasted with the correct formatting.
     
    There's also a native OS X shortcut for this (Cmd + Alt + Shift + V), however it doesn't work in a lot of Applications (for example Pages) and also... pressing those 4 buttons is nearly impossible
     
    ----
    EDIT: added option to "strip and paste".

    David reacted to ctwise in VMWare Fusion Controller   
    I created a workflow inspired by the Parallels controller workflow. It doesn't do screen captures since VMWare requires a username / password to do that, otherwise it's pretty similar. It's on alfpt or you can download it from here: http://tedwi.se/u/d4
     
    The following commands are available:
     
     
    vm list - Provides a list of VM's and their status (running or stopped). Copies path to clipboard. vm start [nogui] - List the VM's that are currently stopped so you can start them. Optionally, if you add 'nogui' it will start them without showing the VMWare window. vm stop [hard] / vm suspend [hard] / vm reset [hard] - List the VM's that are currently running so you can stop, suspend or reset them. Optionally, if you add 'hard' it will force the action. vm pause / vm unpause - Get a list of VM's that are currently running so you can pause or unpause them. A paused VM counts as running. vm snapshot <name> - Get a list of VM's that are currently running so you can create a named snapshot of a VM's current state, 'name' is not optional. vm ip - List the ip addresses of all running vms and copies the selected ip to the clipboard. The vm _must_ be running vmware tools for this to work. vm revert <name> - revert a vm to the named snapshot.   2013-02-07 - Add icons (cribbed from Jonas Erikson's VirtualBox controller)

    David reacted to mcdado in Switch Theme whether Dark Mode is on   
    It would be great if I could set two themes: one for normal mode, and one for dark mode.
     
    I have f.lux that changes mode at sunset, so the best would be if in Alfred's prefs I could set a theme for both settings, so that switching is automatic, it doesn't have to fiddle with a scripts.

    David reacted to vitor in RecentlyAdded — List directory contents by added date   
    This workflow is officially deprecated in favour of Thumbnail Navigation
     
    List the contents of directories, ordered by add or modified date. rda sorts from the most recently added and rdz does the reverse; rdn sorts from the most recently modified and rdo does the reverse.



    The list is auto-refreshed, making for a good way to track changes.

    To act on the selections, use the standard Alfred shortcuts. You can activate file actions, dive into directories, preview files, reveal in Finder, add to the file buffer…

    By default the Workflow searches in ~/Desktop and ~/Downloads. Change the value in the directories Workflow Environment Variable to use different paths, separated by commas.

    David reacted to jona in Search through your GitHub Stars   
    Hello,
     
    I created a small workflow to quickly search through your starred repositories on GitHub. After the keyword "ghs" it matches the argument against title and description of the repository.
     

    At the first start you have to set your GitHub username with "ghsset user". Also the first run will be slow (depending on how many Stars you have), since it fetches all the user avatars (if anyone has an idea to make this more smooth let me know!).
     
    You can download it here (GitHub).
     
     
    I was inspired to create this after seeing Adam Simpsons workflow for StackOverflow Favorites.

    I converted David Ferguson's Wolfram|Alpha extension to a workflow (and made some tweaks along the way  )
     
    It requires you have an AppID of your own (get one here). Note: Make sure you wait a few minutes before entering the code; Wolfram|Alpha's servers seem to take a moment to register the AppID.

    David reacted to surrealroad in Reminders   
    This creates a new reminder in Reminders.app
    Download the latest version, for Alfred v3+ and macOS 10.12+
    For older versions, go here.
    Usage
    To use, just type r <some text> into Alfred.
    For example, r check out some of Alfred's other workflows will create a new reminder called "check out some of Alfred's other workflows".
    You can also include times and dates in the text and have Alfred set a reminder for that particular time.
    r this will capture the current application and turn it into a reminder.
    r help will show some built-in examples.

    Dates
    To be reminded at a specific date/time, simply type a date into the command, for example:
    r today release the hamsters into the wild r tomorrow bring about financial ruin upon my enemies r in 5 minutes drop everything r in 2 hours laugh out loud r on 24/12/13 forget everything I know about things in movies r on 12 June 15 come up with some interesting ideas r on 31-12-99 23:22 panic about the millennium bug r at 2pm wait for nothing in particular r next thursday at 15.30 ask some difficult questions
    Priority
    To set the priority of the reminder, either use exclamation marks right at the start or end of the command (! for low priority, !! for medium priority, !!! for high priority), or type the priority right at the end of the command (these can also be abbreviated, for example mp or p lo). For example:
    r !!! in 2 weeks an important meeting r thursday have a banana medium priority r decide what to have for lunch !lo r make a turkey sandwich p3 Lists
    To choose a list to use on a per-reminder basis, type in <list name> list right at the end of the command, for example r Get Santa outfit !2 in Christmas list. If a matching list can't be found, you won't be able to action the command.
    In all other cases, the default Reminders list will be used (typically the first one). If you prefer, you can edit the defaultList variable within the workflow's Arg and Vars node (note that you'll have to edit this each time you upgrade the workflow however).
    Apps
    Get reminded about the app you're using, for example the selected file in Finder, or the current tab in Chrome or Safari.
    To create a reminder about the active app, simply type r this. Or keep typing to set a date, priority or a custom title, for example r this drop some sick beats on Friday !!!.
    The following apps are currently supported:
    Adobe Acrobat (Pro/DX) Chromium Contacts Finder FoldingText Google Chrome Google Chrome Canary Mail Mailplane 3 Microsoft PowerPoint Microsoft Word Safari TextEdit TextMate Vienna WebKit Apps can be added on request. Just raise an issue with the app you use. As long as it's freely available and has AppleScript support, it can be added.
    Getting help
    r help will display the above examples
    All sorts of combinations are possible!
    Configuration
    If you want to change the default reminder list, edit the variables component at the top of the workflow, otherwise it will just use the first one (unless you use "in Y list" at the end).
    External Trigger
    To call the workflow as an external trigger, use applescript such as
    tell application "Alfred 3" to run trigger "remind" in workflow "com.surrealroad.alfred-reminder" with argument "something tomorrow at 5pm"

    There are more unit converters available. but i didn't like the lack of speed due to the feeds. Thus i redid one myself which calculates everything on your mac. It fetches new currency data once in a while.. that's the only time when a second delay might appear. And in my humble opinion it's already better than all other unit converters around.
     
    I might add more units in the future but so far it has:
     
    - 7 units temperature  ( celsius, kelvin, fahrenheit etc. )
    - 21 units on length  ( km, miles, nautical miles etc. )
    - 15 units on weight   ( kg, lb, etc. )
    - 8 units on time ( days, hours, years months etc )
    - 18 units on digital memory ( GB, MB TB bytes, kilobytes etc )
    - 5 units on speed ( km/h, miles per hour etc.
    - 90 units on currencies ( euro, dollar, pounds, dinar etc. )
     
    that's 164 units
     
     
    It has a nice blind rating system. so the more you choose for one answer, the more it will be likely that that one shows up in the suggestions.  
    Automatic updates from a currency xml file  
    I am working on an automatic update on the whole workflow so i could add new features while you use it. But that is not finished yet.. and i thought.. let's start sharing maybe ill get some nice feedback for possible cool ideas.  
    * designed the icons myself, probably could work some more on those too.  
     
     
    it doesn't need explanation...
    if you'll just start typing

Since this is an initial announcement, there isn't much content there yet, except for the workflows and themes that a few kind testers uploaded.
     
    Themes are stored as a simple application URL, which means there are no files to download, but, instead, they import directly into Alfred2. Workflows are scanned for viruses after they are submitted but before they are made available publicly. Workflow authors can easily update their workflows just by editing the page and replacing the workflow file there.
     
    What is even better is that Packal has its own updater for workflows. So, you have the option to update any workflows that you have downloaded from Packal.
     
    I think that these are exciting developments for Alfred, and this sort of repository is what many people have been waiting for since these forums were created.
     
    One great advantage for distributing your workflows via Packal is that you do not need to maintain your own download links for your workflows anymore, so you won't need to worry about download limits on sharing services. Another advantage is that it will receive more visibility as it is a place where people can look for workflows and themes without having to page through the impressive number of posts in these forums.
     
    So, please, head over to Packal, browse what's there, and, very importantly, submit your own workflows and themes.

    David reacted to CarlosNZ in EggTimer v2 [updated to 2.0 final]   
    Hey folks,
     
    I've been chugging away building a new version of my EggTimer extension to take advantage of Alfred 2's new features. And now it's ready for whoever would like to to have a playaround with it and see what they think:
     
    EggTimer v2.0
     
     
    It will also be available at Tom's Alfred Repo, but I personally haven't had a chance to test that yet, so let me know how it goes for you.
     
    Now, it's very much a beta, as there's several things that don't work as well as I'd like yet, but I'm pretty pleased with how the integration with Alfred 2's new live results feedback via the Script Filter is working. My aim is to have a really nicely polished, easy-to-use (no users fiddling with config files) workflow ready to release by the time Alfred 2 goes public, so any comments or suggestions are most welcome.  It's ready! (22 March 2013)
     
    I've included a full summary of all the functionality in the documentation included in the download (enter timer help in Alfred), but here's just a quick overview of the features:
    Simple timers Auto-repeating timers Alarms (set a specific time) Snooze function Repeat function Recent Timers list (choose one to restart) Full integration into Alfred's results window. Couple of quick caveats:
    EggTimer currently requires growlnotify to display notifications when timers finish. This is because the timer process completely decouples from Alfred to run in the background, so it can’t feed back its output to Alfred. I’m working on a solution to use a Notification Centre alert option to make this as seamless as possible to the user.
    Currently, running timers won’t restart after a crash or a reboot. I’m working on a solution to this which I aim to have working soon.
    Okay, that's about it. Enjoy, and let me know how it works for you.

    21 January 2013: Updated to beta 2
     
    Changes:
    Timers/Alarms now use a “while…” loop to check due time against time of day (instead of just sleeping for a duration). This prevents the problem of timers running late if the computer was put to sleep. (Don't know why I didn't just do this to begin with.) ----
     
    24 January 2013: Updated to beta 3
     
    Changes:
    Now uses recommended working folders for storing timer info and preferences. The main benefit from the user point of view is that future updates won’t overwrite your timers and preferences. Timers and Auto-timers now accept hour:minute input. Syntax is timer HRS:MINS Reminder. Can now stop timers from the timer list using the option-key modifier. Kind of an ugly implementation though, as it will display the same information regardless of whether it’s context-appropriate. Trying to think of a better way to make this work. (Suggestions welcome!) Timers will be restored if they have crashed. This is only partially implemented though, because it’ll only check if you actually run the workflow. It won’t restore them at login yet, which is more important. Working on it. Miscellaneous minor tweaks. ----
     
    27 January 2013: Updated to beta 4
     
    Changes:
    The big one: will now resume timers after restart/re-login. EggTimer adds an entry to the OS X launchd daemon to check for and resume timers at startup. You will be prompted to give permission for this on first launch of EggTimer. New keyword/workflow structure. Check out the workflow config panel to see what’s what. If you’d prefer the old ones (all starting with timer), just change them yourself (eg. repeat -> timer repeat). You’ll note that from the timer list (timers or hotkey Ctrl-T) you can also select to launch a new timer or alarm (courtesy of Alfred’s new Applescript-ability). Now has a “nuke” option (timer nuke) to reset EggTimer back to initial blank config. (Deletes all working folders, cancels running timers, uninstalls startup item.) Fixed bug with “08” and “09” minutes entries when using hrs:mins timer format. More specific icons and other miscellaneous UI tweaks. beta4a
    Fixed minor (and embarrassing) regression. ----
     
    28 January 2013: Updated to beta4b
     
    Changes:
    Fixed absolute path reference preventing permission dialog from launching.  
    28 January 2013: Updated to beta4c
     
    Changes:
    Doh! One more pesky absolute path eliminated. There's still a bit of weirdness with resuming timers after a login though, so I'm still trying to figure that out. Maybe answer "no" to installing startup item for now.. beta4d
    Okay, the problem was fairly minor (just me being scatterbrained ), so the startup check should work nicely now. Here's hoping! ---
     
    22 March 2013: Updated to v2.0 (final)
    I've finally integrated proper notifications for the completed timers. It will work with either Growl or Notification Centre, depending on what you have selected in the workflow config. growlnotify is no longer required, and you'll find "EggTimer" as a properly registered application within Growl's preferences (where you can tweak it). Miscellaneous tweaks and tidy-ups (including documentation - timer help to display)

    David reacted to ramiro.araujo in Transmit 4 Favorites Workflow, FAST   
    Transmit 4 Workflow for Alfred app
    Workflow for searching and opening Favorites in Transmit 4 App. It's really fast, because it reads the SQLite Database or XML datasource in latests releases of Transmit 4.
    There are already at least 2 Transmit workflows, but one is incompatible with latests Transmit 4 and the other, although very good, uses AppleScript to do the searching, and thus you need to wait for Transmit to open to get feedback. This is particulary slow on non SSD machines.
     
    Usage
    Type the keyword (default ftp) and start typing the name of the favorite to search; dead simple.

     
    Installation
    For OS X 10.9 Mavericks, Download the alfred-transmit.alfredworkflow and import to Alfred 2.
    For Previous OS X Versions, Download the alfred-transmit.alfredworkflow and import to Alfred 2.
     
    Source Code
    Clone or Fork the Workflow: https://github.com/ramiroaraujo/alfred-transmit-workflow
     
    Changelog
    2013-12-16 - Released 2014-01-02 - Added support for previous OS versions, using System Ruby 1.8, tested up to Lion 2014-01-03 - Search in both Favorite name and host 2014-01-20 - Added support for Favorites.xml 2014-01-30 - Rebuilt XML search to use different Ruby xml parser Note: I updated the original description to match the project readme file

    David got a reaction from Don Dahl in Strip formatting from clipboard text   
    Hi, this is probably the shortest and easiest workflow ever but i thought i'd post it anyway in case anyone finds it useful aswell. It simply removes the formatting from the text on the clipboard.
     
    So, if you copy some text from Firefox and paste it in an E-mail, often the pasted text will have a different font/text size/bold,italic formatting than the alredy present text in your e-mail.
    To solve this i use "Cmd + C" , "Alfred -> Strclip" , "Cmd + V", and the text will now be pasted with the correct formatting.
     
    There's also a native OS X shortcut for this (Cmd + Alt + Shift + V), however it doesn't work in a lot of Applications (for example Pages) and also... pressing those 4 buttons is nearly impossible
     
    ----
    EDIT: added option to "strip and paste".
