I don't know why your having problems but you need to give the more knowledgable folks around here something more to work with. Do you get any error when running the scripts from the command line that could be useful? I do know that the ~/library/application support/notational data/ folder are marked system files and in alfred's file filter -> search scope (second tab) -> show files marked as system file if your searching for notes etc... I had that problem at first so thank David Ferguson if that helps solve at least a couple problems as  I couldn't figure it out to save my life.

It seems you have a newer version of python installed from homebrew I am gathering... did you update your path to prepend /usr/local/bin and the python path's that are necessary /usr/local/share/python 

REally stretching here so give some info please.

2013-04-15b:

• Added a notification letting using know that the script ran successfully. Requested here.

 

Twinpeaks, does this work for you?

I gave it a quick test and it is working for me. I got the reminder and when I checked day one it was there. Thanks for putting that feature in, makes me much more at ease about not having to check to make sure whatever I wanted to keep was actually written to the day one.

I didn't see, but didn't look too hard for the new features you mentioned above. In a bit of a rush so kind of skimmed through everything but all works well with notifications and grabbing websites in safari. THANK YOU! Much appreciated.

I'm having the same exact errors as BabyAzerty, every error he/she has encountered has been the same for me. I don't know why, but I just tried your latest version from git hub as of this post time... Thanks anyhow! Hopefully it works for some people.

Thanks, I updated a v1 volume control script that I had found by Kopepasah, which you can find here most likely still: https://github.com/kopepasah/Volume-Controls

It allows for muting and unmuting back to the same volume... I just have two keywords one to do the volume stuff and one to mute but you can probably figure out how to get it to work with your workflow... It's an applescript consisting of only this:

on alfred_script(q)
set isMuted to output muted of (get volume settings)
set newMuted to not isMuted
set volume output muted newMuted
end alfred_script

but it works great on v2 and v1. Hope to see this feature implemented in yours one day! Nice workflow though! I like the percentage change notifications

Now I have a workflow idea that would be cool along the same lines as what TingTingBen is looking for but a bit more complex and taking advantage of keywords.

Using a process script filter such as "Running" by Ted Wise, it would be awesome to select a process from the list and have it display all of that applications windows. Probably having the selected app passed to another script filter you are shown the titles of the app's windows and can either (by modifier) choose to hide, activate, or minimize that select window of the application instead of the entire application's windows being minimized-hidden-shown.

I think that's a bit more complex so I'll try but if I don't get anything up by the end of the weekend... it's probably not happening. Anyone else think this would be useful?

If you want to minimize ALL the windows the process that you select, wouldn't it be cleaner to hide the application instead of minimize? Say you have 6 windows open, that is 6 more items added to your dock while hide would achieve the same result of getting those windows out of your way but would leave your dock clear. For all windows, I would suggest hide, for a specific window, that would be the time to use minimize.

Hope I understood your needs correctly. If I did, I put together pretty much exactly what raguay suggested except not using minimize but hiding an apps windows instead. I muse be honest, I am no good with code of any kind so luckily this was only a couple of lines of a very googleable solution.

I would wait for raguay to be able to whip up something more sturdy but in the meantime this might be sufficient for you needs. Thank raguay for the suggestion and ted wise for the original workflow.

I changed the modifier keys around so you might not like them. Simply added one applescript to what was already there originally in the workflow by ted wise.

Is it possible to specify the name of the file?

 

like:

 

txt notes.txt

I ported a useful v1 workflow over to v2 and it works perfectly for my needs and does allow specifying filename along with extension, accepts any extension too. For instance, 'nfh blue.md' would create a file named blue.md in the finder folder and open it with whatever app you have set as your default app to open .md or .txt or .sh or whatever file you want to create and open. All thanks to original developer who is credited John Franey.

Your using homebrew so you have set /usr/local/bin....sbin to the beginning of your path right? If not do that and you won't have a problem. | Brew doesn't complain when you run "brew doctor" ?

Your right to use #!/usr/bin/env as it will pick up whatever is the first instance of python in your path. So if you go into terminal, `echo $PATH` you will see what python is getting picked up first and it must be your system install /usr/bin/ or else you would no have this problem but if you have /usr/local/bin/.... first then I have no idea. I do know that it's what directory gets read first and that is explained in this post.

I would only make the change to your bashrc/bash_profile or whatever file you use for your paths. You can go extreme and change /etc/paths/ to have /usr/local/ come first but I don't think that is necessary

Read this post for a detailed rundown of how your system figures out what and which to run... their a pecking order pretty neatly laid out.

Not at this point, but duplicate workflow is coming pretty soon to v2

A bit late to this question, my apologies but if you have less than a minute can you elaborate? - I am assuming, which always get's me in trouble that when you say duplicate workflow your speaking of adding an extra, duplicate, contextual menu item to the workflow icons on the left by Details... , Export, Show in Finder, etc... Right? That would be useful as export and then import is a pain with the bundleid's not getting along.

I won't go into it as you already know about our wishes for duplicating workflow blocks, or action blocks, or whatever you want to call those magic box shape things are in the workflow config sheet but that is still in the cards for one day right?

And to bother some more, nevermind, I will drop by the request forum to get your thoughts.

Thank you sir for making alfred a gentleman, you raised him well.

My friend, will you please stop making us all look bad by making these ridiculously sweet workflows all the time? You crank out at least one AMAZING workflow every other day. Your just making other workflow creators look bad and worse, making me feel stupid for not being able to create one good simple workflow! STOP IT ALREADY! .... No seriously, please keep it up, lol.

@alfred staff - can we get this guy a legend tag or something under his name instead of just "member?" - It's deserved, along with a couple other members here...

I'm going to start a "workflow creator hall of fame" site. I think you'll get in on the first ballot. Hmm... **thinks to self** ---- not such a bad idea, about time you and the rest of the prolific workflow creators that share so much get recognized for their efforts. For now, I am going to start the hall of fame list in my signature...

THANK YOU FOR THIS WORKFLOW

The context search is planned for version 1.3 that I hope to finish sometime next week.

 

I'm not sure about the context-perspective combination ... have to think about it. I could imagine something like: Enter perspective > Choose from available contexts > Show tasks. But I am not sure if the extra step will be annoying after some time? 

I don't think it will be annoying, extra step that is. As long as you can filter the list down it should come up pretty quickly, plus if someone has a context they view all the time they could attach a hotkey to a quick applescript which calls Alfred up and populates with the string to get to that context. I am sure you will find a great solution so I should probably keep my mouth shut and just let you do your thing. Just my .02 cents.

I would think so-- how does holding ctrl down to make this happen sound?

I know I didn't ask but it sounds pretty sweet to me, plus it's not that hard to change the modifier. Even those not so savvy among us like myself can do that!

Hey! I can't find the source (forum post, github or anything) of the original workflow, but I like your idea!

 

Just had a good idea for a feature: Wouldn't it be nice if the workflow had a path to include the page title? I know, most of the time the page titles are too long, but if I just wanna share it real quick, then that's more useful than a short description I have to write myself. Just an idea

Yeah that is a good idea for working with markdown. You could try SendURL which will copy the page's title and url in markdown, it won't auto-paste but if you combine the two you could share a nice workflow! 

They are for FoldingText, the markdown editor by hogbaysoftware.com, guy that made taskpaper, writeroom, etc... It's on the MAS but they have betas available for trial on their support forum still I am pretty sure, I will check for you. Same format as any other markdown, no difference. Just, well, .ft for FoldingText.

.md works great for me. Tried every option one time and didn't have a problem on 10.8.3... will do further testing but it looks good. I use my nvALT folder for your workflow, in there I keep .md, .txt, and .ft files. Is there anyway for search/news to look in all those files? they are all just plain text. md, mmd, and ft are just plain text with markdown formatting... Would be cool but not totally necessary as setting up a search workflow for the nvALT folder is very easy and you can add all those file types.

I personally have no use for anything but .txt in terms of NEWF but maybe others would find the ability to define the extension of say a new text file useful... for instance creating a new text file would default to .txt but if an extension is added might be useful to others. Might be hard though ask some people like to use "." with filename separations so saying anything after a . is the extension... you could do last instance of "." is the extension if written and added holding a modifier?

I have no need as I said, but maybe others would. Best to wait and see what others need first though before adding superfluous features.

Alright, I'll give alfred some time to think. If you can't reproduce it there isn't anything for you to solve so no worries and I appreciate you looking in to it. Will let you know if it still happens even after giving alfred time to catch up... not that fast of a typist though lol. Cheers!

Yeah I am not a GTD person either, just unorganized and don't really like super strict schemes like GTD although it can be interpreted for your needs personally. I will look at Agile Results, thanks for the link. This is a super useful workflow by the way. Random question but have you tried the OF2 beta? I am curious if it's much better or not, seems to be very nice but I am way down on the list of "testers." Thanks again for the workflow, much better than others I had seen, well none do what yours done but you set the bar pretty damn high! Cheers!

Ahh! "r this" is awesome! Thank you for implementing it !!

If I had to make a request for another app to integrate with I would have to say browser wise, Chromium. Although I could probably change the Google Chrome to Chromium which I haven't tried yet...

Other app wise, Finder... write posix path or linking directly would be really cool.
 

Weird things, probably due to my own requests for new additions... :

When pressing "alt/option" to Show in Reminders.app it marks it as completed... I guess because Enter is to complete a reminder and alt is is to show so when you combine the two you get a reminder shown that's now marked as completed. Might be the default behavior and if it is, how can I just view it in reminders without marking as complete (of course besides going into reminders outside of the workflow!)

Oh yeah one last thing. For some reason when I enter a task with no due date and no list to go in just something simple like "r wow this is crazy" - the workflow is cutting off the y from crazy. Sometimes it does it, sometimes not... can't really pin it. 

Sorry for being a pain in the ass! Always appreciated and love the new features...

I am stuck between Things and OmniFocus - I don't want to get into Things and then have OF2 be great. ARGH! This workflow is awesome though! Makes me more tempted than ever to use OF. Thanks for sharing, love it.

Thank you!

Now it´s working!

No problem, thank iEnno for the workflow!

I haven't tried this but you should also look at bevesce's "symbols" workflow which is also very nice. Might get some good ideas from it. Thanks for sharing!

Found this on Github, very nice and easy to use. Really like it.

Love the idea, but same error here

Even if you export the the timezone like I mentioned in the post above yours? Should work fine...

Whatever PHP error it gives just export that timezone in the 'date' script filter, just place above the one line of code... like so:

export TZ="America/New_York"
ruby date.rb "{query}"

Tried many times but I still get a successful login, picks up the frontmost tab's address or clipboard if there is one, -> message saying something went wrong please login again. Tried deleting the token, whole workflow, diff browsers, - kinda lost. Thank you for the effort though!
