Many thanks, I think your still batting a thousand. Going to grab the new version now. 

Nice workflow, I use a mod of Mr. Eriksen's classic AppCleaner extension and now workflow to do this for AppDelete and CleanApp. Very easy to mod...

@Schneppi - I think it would be a good idea to add a file action to the workflow. That way, anybody can find an app whether in Finder or just plain old alfred searching -> action it -> run the AppDelete script. Uninstall file filter is nice but not really necessary when you think about it. Jonas' workflow has it as well but I never use it. Check out that simple bash line that does the magic.

For those who like this or want something similar for another "uninstaller" app that they prefer I highly recommend you check out Jonas Eriksen's "AppCleaner" Workflow which can, by just changing the app name be used for AppDelete, CleanApp, etc... Very useful. Find it here: https://github.com/aiyodk/Alfred-Extensions/tree/master/AlfredApp_2.x - I modded it to use AppCleaner and CleanApp awhile back.

Sorry to disrupt, just thought it could be enhanced a bit and also let others know that it's very easy to mod the workflows to work with all the other uninstaller apps.

Well... Alleyoop is cool for Workflows which are "set" ... the "Last changed files" one could make use of it. I consider that if there are more updates coming.

 

The window arranger is more like a sandbox for people if they want to use it. It was originally meant to start multiple apps by hotkey and arrange them. I am not sure about slate but no windows manger I know can do that. My "frontmost" window manipulation is more for "showing" something.

 

Slate looks nice but as I wrote, I totally rely on the Custom Snap Areas which only are in better Snap Tool. A feature which is mostly overlooked I guess.

Definitely understand, I was more talking about alleyoop support for your "Last Changed Files" workflow anyhow. In the case of window arranger, yeah, I don't see you working on a workflow that you don't use so don't expect many updates. Thanks again for sharing both of them.

This current url...

and it get's chopped up into... 

http www.alfredforum.com topic 917 reminders page 4 entry8958

You will notice it's still opening (in the background) whilst it's fetching or creating reminders, but it should revert to whatever state it was once it's done.

So seamless I didn't even notice that! Now nobody can complain - For my complaint/question which honestly is not a totally necessary feature so please do not take your time if it's difficult... it shouldn't really even be a reminder... Anyways, is it possible for web addresses to be parsed correctly? Can they be encapsulated in double quotes or parenthesis or something similar so they don't get picked apart?

Like I said, if it takes much effort it is not totally necessary, but scenario of usage, to give you a couple examples... remind myself to check on an auction ending or visit a website later when I'll have the time. Either way, really appreciate you making and expanding this workflow to do pretty much everything Reminders!

Ah, I see. So it was the URL... I guess you can blame me for that request. It is very useful to have the link of where you grabbed a snippet of text or even had a thought that you recorded but I can see where your coming from. Carlos-Sz will probably make this very easy on you with a  modifier or something better but in the meantime I will look for a quick regex snippet you can run that will remove all http://.... lines form a file.

@Wordius, I am not getting the same results... If I type something after "newf" with the last option, "Type The Text: ..." The only thing that get's added in addition to the actual string of text is the url of the site, if I am on a webpage, and the default tag - which with a " - " at the end can be dismissed completely.

No worries though, Carlos-Sz is definitely going to find a fix for you!

Seriously, I wish I could click the "Like This" button more than once. Gets better every other minute! No need for Reminders.app to stay or even start running is just brilliant, didn't even think that was feasible. Again, thank you!

@greenamit - Alleyoop, search the board, it's creators has also made a ton of other awesome workflows for alfred. And you will be happy to hear that this which this workflow supports and uses alleyoop.

Nice one Mr. Rice! You solved all our problems! Thanks, this is really useful.

Well your not alone with the line 112 error, that makes 3 of us... You can comment it out but that kills script filter keywords, which are pretty useful so for now I think we are going to have to sit back and let this workflow mature a bit.

Finally got it to run after I was forced to cut out script filters from the results. Eh, not so good but at least I got it started.

1) I had to use clintonstrong's latest fork.

2) I had to comment out line 112 of help.py as it was giving me this error.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "help.py", line 112, in <module>
    commands += "\r\n* `" + item['config']['keyword'] + "`"
KeyError: 'keyword'

I did however get the quicklook without the script filters though so don't really know what's wrong with that line. I also tried the old pre-backtick line there as a trial but same error.

Got it working, thanks for confirming.

I never imagined this being born from the 0.1 version! Super useful, thank you.

Works like a charm! I don't know how you interpret that python feedback but you always find the bug. As always, much appreciated.

Ridiculously nice!

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "help.py", line 118, in <module>
    commands += "\r\n" + "* " + item['config']['keyword']
KeyError: 'keyword'

Thanks for the quick response. Still no luck, just grabbed the latest version... Will check in tomorrow, thanks again.

Still no luck, but obviously it's working for others. I'll stay tuned for an update. I like nickcjr's idea too. Would be good or even if combined with Brett Terpstra's "cheaters" script/app which is an automator workflow that leaves a floating window of pretty much any formatted text, markdown works great.

Can't get this to find my projects for some reason and threw the feedback.log command on the script filter. Any ideas from this output?

subl just hangs on Working... I get the open Open Finder Selection but the rest just "is Working..."

Thank you, sorry to be a pain in the ass

Wow I need to get this working as It would be ridiculously useful. Don't know why it bugs out but I run the workflow, it gives the message to wait... and nothing happens. I checked the workflows data folder and it contains an empty alfred-help.md file = 0kb. Look forward to later versions or some help debugging. Cheers!

Glad I could help. Just reposting what dferg shared with us at an earlier point. 

Anybody get subfolders to work with the latest version? Doesn’t seem to like my setup, i.e. no results. No subfolders it works great but with subfolders... no dice.

You could create a hotkey and then attach link it to the applescript below... credits to David Ferguson I believe, I think I remember finding it in a post he made...

on alfred_script(q)
tell application "Alfred 2"
activate
tell application "System Events" to keystroke "," using {command down}
end tell
end alfred_script

Once you have the syntax down this script is a cinch! So useful now that I actually read instructions that the list needs to be specified at the end. Always good to read instructions...

I really like this but could you add a modifier key option to open in browser? Sometimes I just want to see some reviews and a screenshot or two... not launch the mac app store app. Otherwise this is great!

I'm curious: how would you alter the script to prepend the addition to the journal rather than append?

You wouldn't try this workflow http://asmodified.net/alfredworkflows/ - not my work but the nt keyword will do what you want, or whichever adds to "scratchpad" all can be changed. I think this latest version goes overboard with the each keyword for a different file when there are great scripts that can do adding to a different file in the same directory by just going >>filename at the end of your note but anyways I digress. You should be good with that one. If not check out QuickMDEntry on github by Rob Trew, the most amazing script I have ever seen for all your nvalt + markdown goodness. Both of these solutions don't require gui scripting or replicating key hits etc...
