So, I started using this one in Snow Leopard recently (never had a problem in Lion). And it just won't work as it is happening a lot lately with many workflows

As you can see, it is installed (I changed the keyword to uc)

But then...

I tried clearing the cache and reinstalling, but nothing's changed so far.

As no notification pops up, is there any other way to tell if this is actually working?

The download link is not working for me, I keep getting a 'not found' error.

This could be a result of different language versions (programming/script language) installed on the different OSs. Workflows that use Script Filters execute a script somewhere that will generate a chunk of XML that is passed back to Alfred. Alfred then reads that and generates the result list. If there is some dependency (version or otherwise) not being met in Snow Leopard or some kind of error being generated from the XML, it will fail to show the results. 

Thanks for your reply.

Does this mean that if a workflow was created on a different language than the one I have installed in SN, it shouldn't work? Because I have the same language installed in both computers, but it only doesn't work in SL. If so, then there's no way to fix it, is that correct?

Another two workflows that were working great until Monday, have stopped working altogether now.

Works great so far, thanks!

 

For these fields, I know which Spotlight attributes to play with:

kMDItemAuthors

kMDItemUsedDates

kMDItemTitle

 

but I'm not sure how I would put things together in Alfred within requiring a syntax that would be fairly complex…

 

This is easier done in Outlook itself and sort of defies the purpose of having a quick and simple query in Alfred.

 

FYI, you can create the search in Spotlight using this simple syntax:

kMDItemUsedDates:2013-06-23 kMDItemAuthors:Mike kMDItemTitle:"Top Score" kind:Olk14_Message

Well, this too technical for me, but I'll see if I can figure it out. Thanks.

I'm also having the exact same problem, but with nbcmayhem's workflow. It takes a while for Benzi's workflow to show the results though.

I've been using pretty much the same workflows on both my iMac (running on Snow Leopard) and laptop (running on Lion). No problems so far on Lion, but some workflows worked a couple of times on SL and stopped working at all.

I indexed Spotlight, cleared the app cache and rebuilt the OS X Metadata. Nothing has changed so far.

As you can see in this case, it doesn't recognize that the workflow is installed.

In this one it does but after I start to type the search, it doesn't anymore.

I also had trouble with a Wikipedia workflow, but now it is working again so far. I also had to stop using the "Purge" workflow as well. Does anyone else using SL have encountered similar issues?

I'm using PostBox instead of Outlook. I was wondering what things needed to be changed so this can be adapted (if at all). Is it possible?

I got the "command not found" from Terminal as well.

Well, I just installed it. I still get the "-1 MB purged" & "0 MB purged" notifications. *sigh*

Any further details on how the installation went? Did it work and does the workflow work now?

Well, I finally got the time to get to this after a very hectic week at work. I followed the instructions posted here to uninstall Xcode, and got a "command not found" from Terminal. Not sure if it's safe to install the command line tools now.

And this is how far I went with this

I'll try to install this. I was reading on that page that Xcode needs to be uninstalled first. I just hope I don't screw anything up.

I'll let you know how goes!

could you try opening terminal and typing "vm_stat", as this is the command used to find the inactive memory. I'm starting to wonder that it is not in snow leopard, and that is what is causing the problems

I went and typed what you asked for, and this info appeared:

Does this help?

Thanks! Downloaded the new version , but I still get "0 MB purged"

Sorry, I'm not a python programmer by trade, so I'm pretty stumped by this. I will try a complete refactoring late tomorrow (I'm not at home atm, so can't really do much on it). Hopefully it will be working within the next couple of days if you can wait

Sure, I can wait. Thanks!

*Last bump before uninstalling*

Anyone else having trouble with this on Snow Leopard?

I just checked the weather and got this:

Those 24º are obviously wrong as I'm freezing my ass off   The web search on the left shows the right temperature right now. The settings are the same as the last time I changed them, and the workflow was working fine until today. 

Can anyone help me to figure out what's going on?

I am honestly not sure, could you type "python --version" into terminal and post the results, it may be a python version difference, as the workflow was made on mountain lion.

Python version's 2.6.1

*bump*

I have finally installed this workflow on my desktop that's running on Snow Leopard. Most of the times I get this:

while others I get "-1 MB purged." Any ideas if this a compatibility issue?

@SouthGirl:  Thanks for your reply.  The workflow reads in the list of files from /Users/(your login)/Library/Parallels/Applications Menus.  Can you please verify that you have files in this folder?  Also, this workflow is for Parallels Desktop 8 for Mac.  I'm not sure if it would work with a previous version.

 

The workflow should display the items, even with just a "p<space>."  For example, in this screenshot you can see the red parallels overlay to indicate the Windows apps:

 

<snip>

 

Also, it should say "Open File" instead of Open App, because the script is opening an XML file with the Parallels Link app.  I noticed that in your screenshot, the Open File workflow is missing the "Parallels Link" Icon:

 

<snip>

 

On my system, this is located in:  /Applications/Parallels Desktop.app/Contents/Applications/Parallels Link.app.  I'm not sure why this would be missing, unless yours is installed somewhere else?

1) I'm on Parallels 6 still...

2) The path is not "/Users/(your login)/Library/Parallels/Applications Menus" but "/Users/(your login)/Applications (Parallels)" in this version.

I have already bought version 8 but I'm not sure when I'll have the time to upgrade (whenever works allows it, regrettably).

Thanks anyway. I'll keep this workflow for the new version.

I just downloaded this workflow, and this is what I got when looking for Calibre on my Parallels.

I tried with another three different programs and I get the same error = zero results. I do have the "Share Windows Applications with Mac" enabled though. I also noted that the workflow says "open file." Shouldn't it be "open app"? Just wondering as I have no idea how this works.

Awesome workflow, thanks for sharing!

Do you mind posting your settings.plist file, or letting me know what's in the location string?

I was opening the file to copy the location string, and realized that there were only three decimals after the comma instead of four. I changed it to four and now it's working great. Thanks

Someone else made that comment and helped out with some code on github, but I never updated the workflow link. This should allow you to set location now.

Thanks. I registered for the API key, set the location as specified in the very first post of this thread, and I got an "invalid response - not JSON object" error. Any ideas why I'm getting this?
