    Hey gang, just to briefly drag the thread kicking and screaming back to the topic, anyone got a link to some handy Alfred-ready versions of the default TextExpander suggested snippets, like accented words and HTM stuff? There was a Dropbox link on a different thread but seems to be 404'd now.

    Hi folks, this all worked like a dream, I was sure I'd muck it up but nope! There was snippet in the csv that caused a problem, said it couldn't find the file or something, but I deleted that from the csv and ran it again and all worked. Added the problem snippet manually. Quick Q - may have missed it but is there a copy of the default Textexpander snippets (accented words etc) for Alfred going around? I saw a Dropbox link in another thread but the link is 404d now.

    Can you recommend a cloud service that offers that? My thinking is that if the situation is that bad that I need to use BB to get my entire system back, then I'll simply cough up for them to send it all on a drive, rather than download it all. Otherwise you can download individual files as far as I know, no? But mainly id use my local backup drive to restore from. Only reason I wouldn't be able to do that is if I'm unlucky enough to crash both the Mac and the backup at the same time, or there's a burglary or a fire/flood.

    Oh don't worry I got backups up the wazoo! Almost losing everything to an iBook drive failure taught me about that the hard way. Got 90% back via some awesome file recovery software I bought (forget the name now, but it was incredible, only $100 and got almost everything), and after that I invested in externals, daily overnight backups via SuperDuper, and Backblaze.

    No worries, thanks for helping out!

    Perfect, thank you! Don't like to experiment with Terminal code myself, I know how powerful it is especially if I type something wrong!

    I truly appreciate the extra info in the readme, thanks! One problem, while I'm familiar with what the Terminal is, I don't know what this means: "To run the script, open a Terminal window in the same directory where you put the script" I'm using a Mac. Say I create a folder on my desktop called Snippets and that's where I'm going to dump everything. How do I "open a terminal window" that's directed to that folder? Thanks!

    Thanks - but how does this work? It says it's a script... how do I run it? Not familiar with GitHub.

    Thanks but this is what I referred to in my original post, it only works with old .textexpander files, not the CSV files that the new Textexpander exports.

    Hi, I have been using the subscription Textexpander, and while it's certainly much cheaper than it used to be at only $20 a year I'd still rather use less apps. The subscription version only seems to export snippets as CSV files not .textexpander files so the handy TE-to-Alfred3 script someone wrote doesn't work for me. Is there a way to get dozens of TE snippets on a CSV file into Alfred 3 easily? Thanks!
