  1. Hey guiguan, When I use your messaging part of the UniCall workflow, it creates a new message every time. Normally this isn't a problem per se, but it's a little annoying because I have to pause a little while before I can type, since iMessage is busy creating a new message. Not sure if this is a problem that only I'm experiencing, but I fixed the problem by taking out this line in your `openimessagetarget.scpt` show chat chooser for targetBuddy But if there's a good reason for this line, I'd love to know -Nolan
  2. The Applescript seems pretty straightforward, I really don't know how El Capitan could mess things up (although it did) :\
  3. Actually, David Ferguson wrote this portion of the workflow, and I don't believe I'll be installing the el capitan beta. I guess this is a long ways to say that I don't believe this will get fixed unless another workflow adds this functionality.
  4. So you're saying that after you added the +44, your messages always default to 'SMS'? My workflow (I believe) should always default to iMessage unless under very specific circumstances (the switchover to SMS is primarily handled by the Messages app which I don't fully understand).
  5. After a quick google, it seems that the internet has found out how to specifically send SMS's using applescript. http://www.tenshu.net/2015/02/send-imessage-and-sms-with-applescript.html However, I still need to search for a way to actually label phone numbers as "iMessage" or "SMS" numbers
  6. This shouldn't be the behavior if messages is opened, it should display the number. Can you confirm once more?
  7. Hi Hatticus24, Sorry for taking so long to reply! I'm intrigued as to your solution, and I was wondering what adding +44 does to a phone number? -Nolan
  8. Hi everyone, So whenever I maneuver to a folder and hit "Open Terminal Here" through Alfred, OSX Yosemite creates a new window with the terminal at the correct place. However, I don't want an entire new window, I want just a new tab situated in my already opened terminal window. Does anybody know how to make Alfred/Terminal default to this behavior? Thanks, Nolan
  9. Hi gpmalone1, I don't believe Alfred has the capability to forward iMessages to your android device. This would have to be done using a utility completely unrelated to Alfred. A quick google search on "receiving iMessages on Android" shows an app that solves this problem, but I also read some warnings about the developer of that app. But for Alfred (and my app), I don't think I can support this. Thanks for posting though -Nolan
  10. Hmmm, it still seems to default to using iMessage, even when the user has never been contacted using iMessage before :\
  11. Hi Shrubub, Can I ask what you have in mind with email support? Could you point to a page that shows this in action? I'm not completely sure what you have in mind here, but I think I have an idea. I just need to make sure. -Nolan
  12. Hi, Just wondering if anyone knows how to use applescript to send sms continuity messages. Sending regular iMessage messages uses: send "Hi there" to theBuddy but this errors out on iMessage using a non-iMessage number. Or at least be able to turn off the iMessage capabilities of a specific user? -Nolan
  13. Hi MWebb and DRM, The website I currently use to retrieve bible verses from has this to say about the NKJV: "If you want a translation that is not currently available, please ask. Please note that versions that are currently in copyright (e.g. NIV, NKJV, etc.) cannot be added unless you are able to secure copyright permission. Permission has been granted for the NASB and Amplified Bibles." ​From this, I gather that I won't be able to retrieve NKJV verses unless I purchase something or switch API providers. I'm sorry about that -Nolan
  14. Wow, I could have never imagined a workflow for this! This perfectly addresses my super-OCD-cleanliness first world problems. Thanks! (Also I could imagine using this to force myself to take a break from my computer)
  15. Hey littleluce, I've never used nicknames myself (and I'm not sure how), but you can change the contact's name in my dictionary and replace it with your desired nickname. This is not a full fledged solution, but rather a workaround. Be warned, if you run "imu" again, you'll have to change the name again manually. 1. Go to Alfred preferences, and locate my workflow "iM" 2. Right click on it and click "show in finder" 3. In the finder, open ContactNumbers.txt 4. Here, you'll see all your contacts associated with their numbers. Press cmd+F and search for your desired contact's name. In the sea of contacts, you'll find the one your looking for. His/her record should have this format u'Awesome Dude': (u'Awesome Dude', ['1234567890, 1234567891, 1234567890, ...]) 5. Replace both instances of his/her name to the desired name (keep the u' at the front): u'Cool Guy': (u'Cool Guy', ['1234567890, 1234567891, 1234567890, ...]) 6. Save the file. You should be good to go! Leave a message or comment if it doesn't work, or if you have any questions! -Nolan
  16. Just wanted to say thanks for the workflow! I've been using it for a year now and I've never properly thanked you for it
  17. Hey dialing_wand, I was just thinking about your problem recently, and I have a question that may be able to solve your problem. Do you use any "work" numbers to send texts? Or do you only use the "mobile" numbers of your contacts? If you only use the "mobile" numbers, then I can change the app such that you would just harvest "mobile" numbers and nothing else -Nolan
  18. Thanks Xavierbaez! I noticed that you forked my repo, don't hesitate to message me if you have questions. My code is pretty much a spaghetti mess since I threw it up together pretty quickly and I've never bothered to clean it up.
  19. Hi, Just stumbled upon your workflow and it looks great! However, whenever I try to use the "Open in OF" option, Alfred keeps returning to me the error "Omnifocus got an error: can't set class <<FCvm>> of document window id #### of document..." Can anyone tell me whats up? I primarily want to use this workflow to open up items in Omnifocus. Thanks!
  20. @dialing_wand That's really strange! I'm really busy at the moment but I'll put this on my reminder list. Is their work number an iPhone number? And does this number even work for texts? Oh wow, I didn't know that this broke! I don't think I'll be upgrading to Yosemite until Apple releases the final version, so I'll update my app when it comes out. Sorry about that
  21. Hi BigHandsome, Can I ask what you meant by "adding mute?" Did you mean that you can return to the original volume after muting? What command is it? Thanks!
  22. Hey Dodgymin, I believe I've fixed the issue. Can you check out my workflow and tell me your results? You will need to recreate the database again.
