This workflow gives you quick access to Alfred's own db of recent documents, not OS X's.
Thanks - that wasn't clear to me. Now I've opened Doc's from Alfred Dave's script is working fine
Here's a workflow that is based on David Ferguson's and Clint Strong's that merges the OS/X recent documents and Alfred recent documents into one list - http://tedwi.se/u/d9
It uses Ruby, you MUST install the Ruby sqlite3 gem before it will work:
sudo gem install sqlite3
Would love to try this but having an issue with the gem installation. Get the following under 10.8.2
$ sudo gem install sqlite3 Building native extensions. This could take a while... ERROR: Error installing sqlite3: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ruby extconf.rb mkmf.rb can't find header files for ruby at /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/ruby.h Gem files will remain installed in /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/sqlite3-1.3.7 for inspection. Results logged to /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/sqlite3-1.3.7/ext/sqlite3/gem_make.out
Any advice greatly appreciated as I know nothing about Ruby

So access to the built in list of recent docs maintained by OSX is not part of the flow?
-
Nothing is listed after entering the "docs" keyword as shown in the screenshot
-
Unfortunately this flow is not working for me. It appears no documents are returned and I receive the message "No recent documents were found"
Is there any other way to access the recent doc's database to determine if this is an Alfred issue or Workflow-specific issue?
Running b131 with the Recent Doc's enhancement and have restarted Alfred as a precaution with no change
Edit: Have just figure how to use Recent Docs via standard Alfred method - those show just fine, so suggests my issue above is related specifically to the workflow
Example for Preview: http://d.pr/i/uG1l
Edit 2: Update to b133 has not resolved the issue

FYI: The icon set is difficult to see under dark background themes

Yeah, this would be handy. In the meantime, what I've done is taken some of the simpler workflows that just perform one command and put them all in one workflow, like so:
Helps a little bit with the sidebar clutter.
In which case, being able to copy and paste objects between flows would be highly desirable

Ok, I figured it out. The API library was asking for a "media" link in the case of direct URLs, and directories are not considered "media".
The latest at http://db.tt/A3eZqMAr should fix it.

Quick test shows this appears to be fixed - thanks again

Sorry - I misunderstood the nature of your problem
Yes - I do see the same behaviour.

Nice - got volume controls now set up

Here's what I get in the Console.app log:Alfred Workflow[22033]: Creating a link for a directory is not allowed. (Dropbox::API::Error) [query: /Users/duane/Dropbox/Books]
Wow - how weird? Why would short links be OK but not the full links to which they redirect?
-
Hi - I'm a cobook user too but am not having any issues; maybe our setups are different. Can you elaborate on the issue you see?
-
Good call. I hadn't noticed that the underlying dropbox-api library didn't offer support for this. I fixed it and sent a pull request to the original library.
In the meantime, the workflow has been updated and re-downloading the link above should give you a version that supports getting links for folders as well.
Duane
It seems short links to folders are working, but not the full links - nothing is returned
-
Thanks - that's great
As an aside, I can't access the posted screenshot - seems I'm lacking permission
-
That actually would be pretty easy to do for Chrome. I'll crank that out for you... this weekend? Maybe?
Hi David - were you ever able to look at this? Would be a great addition to the Chrome bookmarks workflow
-
Have installed the b112 release which enables the iTunes mini player. Is there any means to control the iTunes volume within the mini player?
I realise I can change my master volume via the keyboard media keys; I'm looking to be able to control iTunes volume separately.
-
Reload the original download and you should get a new Command+Shift+Ctrl+D hotkey for a direct URL link to the file.
Fantastic - works fine and addresses my paranoia the short link could be guessed
-
Have been waiting for someone to build this workflow - thanks.
One request - the flow returns only the short link. I'd sometimes prefer to not generate the short link (only 8 characters), but instead get the longer link. Would that be feasible?
Thanks again

I installed from ALFPT, not the cloudapp download

Permissions!
Checked out Time & Date code which was identical, but that function worked fine. So had to be a difference between setups for the 2 move scripts. The one in DeskDrawer was not executable so was never being run.
Fixed the permissions and now all works
BTW: Suggest you add a message when testing for and finding an empty return (eg when pressing escape instead of selecting a folder); else you get a notification with no contents
-
Happy to help debug
-
Tried it while you were posting - works fine
-
I just ran that portion of the script from a terminal - works just fine. So appears to be something specific to how the script is executed from Alfred

Mountain Lion - all updates applied

Hi
I can't get the "movedrawer" function to work. I never get the path select dialog appear suggesting something is going wrong with calling the Applescript function.
I've manually updated the config file with a custom path and then all appears to work, so the basic feature of having a custom drawer appears fine, just not the workflow to define it.

Thanks - I'll give this a go when I have more time
