  1. I edited the icon to have a white border so that it's visible in the black. I figured I'd put it here for anyone that wants it. Old: New: PNG here:
  2. It would be nice if the included translate keyword went to the auto url instead of whatever state Google Translate was last in. I've made a new Web Search keyword to replace it on my machine, but I assume the vast majority of users would want the same functionality. So my main feature request is as simple as... Change this: https://translate.google.com/?text=old To this: https://translate.google.com/#auto/en/new I also found a Google Translate icon to replace the generic Google icon: PNG here:
  3. I too was wondering about this. I haven't dug too deeply but the autocomplete functionality is essentially broken but also completely unneeded. When searching for a tag "todo": .tagged tod ...Alfred's already filled with files matching any tag starting with "tod" (on my system, only the "todo" tag). Hitting TAB at this point autocompletes the first item's file name; I believe since it's a filefilter the item is treated as a file would be - which autofills "Grocery List.txt" intending to search for a tag with that name. In any case, the only reason you'd need TAB to autocomplete to the intended tag is if you were looking at multiple tags starting with, as an example, "tod" maybe like "todo" and "today". If that were the case, how would you expect TAB to react? Autocomplete the one with more files, or the one most recently used, or most frequently used? Any, I don't see a huge need for the tag autocompletion. ...what I would LOVE to see (FEATURE REQUEST!) is the ability to search for file/folder names that are tagged with X. The theoretical format would be like this: .tagged todo grocery list Now I'm not sure if OS X allows spaces in tags, I'll assume it does, so some sort of delimiter is probably needed in my example between "todo" and "grocery" - the colon is a likely choice since that can't be used in filenames. Ironically, I just realized it would be useful to have tags autocompleted for this operation. .tagged to[TAB]do: grocery Anyway. Thanks for all the work you've put into this workflow. It's been great to use!
  4. I had the same issue. It has to do with some changes in Ruby 2.0 which now ships with Maverick....I don't actually really know to be honest. I did some Googling and tried a bunch of stuff real quick; it's so rare that a quick copypasta based on skimming stuff works. I found the fix on stackoverflow (of course): change line 1 of get_recent_folders.rb to require_relative "alfred"
  5. Great idea! I usually just struggle in the calculator until I get the answer that looks correct. I have a few thoughts on how it would be more useful...for me at least. A. The wording seems to be incorrect. "3 percent of 100" is indeed 3, but if you type "3 of 10" (which, in your wording would be "3 percent of 10") you get 30, presumably 30% - which is wrong of course. I suggest you change the example wording to "What percentage of 100 is 3:" or to keep the order and English correct, "3 is what percentage of 100:" and the subtext with the answer could be renamed to "Percentage of" to differentiate it from... B. I expected, and would find useful, the ability to do exactly what your example text suggests: find out what 3% of 100 is. Or to make the examples more clear, what 3% of 10 is: 0.3. A command could be as simple as "3% of 10" - note the % symbol after the 3. The subtext of this would more accurately be "Percent of". Because of some of the confusion, I think it would be a good idea to add a % symbol to the answer where applicable. Since you're not using copy to clipboard anymore, I don't imagine that would be a burden on anyone. And with all the new features being added and proposed, I think it would add a lot of clarity when trying different formulas. New feature: I also made a new icon so it's visible in the black: Alone here: FYI, if you delete the 3rd argument on line 92 of percent.py, it will use the % icon above for completed calculations. (I'm not sure if you intended to use the info icon. I prefer the percent symbol the whole time, but don't really care.)
  6. Awesome workflow! Thanks very much for sharing.
  7. That's pretty much what I've done in essence. Thanks for your reply.
  8. My solution is to have one script per keyword that has the keyword hard coded into it, that then calls a second script from within it...since I can't chain scripts Keyword -> Script -> Script -> Output. I still wonder if there's another way.
  9. Oh wait, I can't make an intermediate script, can I? I guess I'd have to make two scripts that do almost the same thing except have the keyword that calls them hard coded
  10. This must have been asked before but my Google Fu is weak today. I want to know which keyword was typed. Is there a way to determine that from the script? I guess I could have an intermediate script between my multiple keywords. I'm sure that's what I'll end up with but I'm still curious to know.
  11. Yeah, both are great ways for this specific example. I've got a few others I've had in mind and have been too lazy to implement Still holding out for a Keyword to execute keywords!
  12. So you want Finder to only show what you've searched for? I'm not sure I understand exactly but from a File Filter you can press the right arrow on a file and get quite a few helpful options. A couple that might interest you are Reveal in Finder and Find Similar - and because Alfred is convenient as hell, once you've pressed the right arrow, type "find" and you'll see exactly these two options Let us know if that's what you're looking for.
  13. I'd like to type a keyword and have a different Alfred keyword get executed. You can think of this as an alias or a shortcut. A practical example is with Victor Quinn's Volume Adjust workflow: I type "vol mute" dozens of times per day. I'd rather type "mute" into Alfred. I've been unable to find anything that accomplishes this literally or even really in practice. One of the stickies here talks about doing 'tell application "Alfred 2" to search "keyword args"' but that just presents an Alfred window and requires an enter press...or a keypress event to be fired which is A hard to get working correctly and B a horrible kludge. For now I've added the mute keyword and altered the AppleScript to mute the volume when there's no argument...but that means I can't set up another "alias" like "half" for "vol 50" (since Alfred doesn't pass the keyword to scripts). Obviously I could copy/paste the entire workflow (or AppleScript) for each "alias" but as a programmer I'm morally against that kind of thing. Any other ideas?
  14. Thanks for continuing work on through Mavericks. I let the workflow be for a week after I updated and it was driving me nuts when I really needed it. Can't live without it now!
  15. Indeed. iTerm can be quite finicky as well. Find what works best for you.
  16. I have some strange results in some more obscure Chrome usage scenarios: Tab A is in a window on another Space, another Chrome window is inactive on the current space - when actioning Tab A the window on current space is brought to front, Space is unchanged. Another actioning (Alfred > Up > Enter) shows Tab A and pans to its Space as intended. Tab A is in a window on another Space with another window, there is no Chrome window on current Space - when actioning Tab A I'm panned to the last focused window...and sometimes my Spaces reordered?!??!. Another actioning (Alfred > Up > Enter) shows Tab A as intended. Tab A is in a minimized Chrome window in another Space - actioning Tab A pans to the correct Space, the window unminimizes and Tab A is focused, then for no apparent reason: I'm returned to the original Space. Another actioning (Alfred > Up > Enter) goes back to Tab A's Space (since it's now unminimized there.) #1 is easily remedied by using "do shell script" then "activate". As noted in the code, this makes all Chrome windows come to front before switching to a tab ...this isn't ideal but it's better than the Space not switching or switching to the wrong window in another Space. #2 gets weirder every time I try to fix and or/replicate it. I've lived with it since it doesn't come up all that much. #3 is a beast. I've tried a few things to no avail. I've lived with it and the mentioned workaround. Anyway, i just wanted to stop by and thank you for all your hard work. Looks like you've got a good amount of time into it. I wouldn't worry about these cases too much, just figured I'd leave them here.
  17. I thought I'd just mention that iTerm 2 has the ability to assign a hide/show terminal hotkey.
