I know you will hate me for this, but since I was kind of unhappy with the recent developments of Ruby's and Python's Cocoa-binding I just remembered this old comic: http://xkcd.com/224/
 
... so in short: I redid everything with Perl, which is so low level that Apple will not mess with it (hopefully). On the plus side, it is also the fastest binding.
 
An experimental version is available here: https://github.com/untoldwind/alfred2-layout/raw/master/Layout.alfredworkflow
 
New feature:
With "lay_config" you should now be able to edit your own configuration file (format described below)Hopefully this will open the "TextEdit" if there are no other editors available (that's hard to test for me, since I have so many editors on my system) If the editor does not open you can also use "lay_config" with Cmd-Enter/Cmd-Click, which should open the configuration directory in Finder. If it all fails: The configuration file should be this one: ~/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/Workflow Data/de.leanovate.alfred.layout/layout.yaml Of course there is a default-version in the workflow itself (i.e. to reset the workflow to default, just remove the file above) Note: The keywords are NOT merged, i.e. if you do not like some keywords, you are actually able to remove them The configuration file itself is YAML, which should be easily understandable:
- { name: "togglefullscreen", display: "Toggle full screen mode", forOtherScreen: No, command: "fullscreen:toggle" } - { name: "full", display: "Full", forOtherScreen: Yes, command: "set:0,0,1,1" } - { name: "left", display: "Left", forOtherScreen: Yes, command: "set:0,0,0.5,1" } name: is the keyword (and also the name of the icon) display: the display text/title that appears in Alfred forOtherScreen: Yes/No toggle if the keyword should also appear in "layother" command: the actual command for the layouter (as described here: https://github.com/untoldwind/alfred2-layout/wiki/Hacking-the-Mavericks-version#parameters-of-the-layouter ... well lets see if it all works as intended.
 
 
PS: If this is too spooky for you (or simply not working), the previous release is still available here: https://github.com/untoldwind/alfred2-layout/raw/1.1_Mavericks/Layout.alfredworkflow (in case I forgot to update links in the previous posts)

Not sure if the 1Password 4 API would allow Alfred to do this, but:
 
It would be nice if Alfred supported 1Password 4's multiple urls feature. So if a 1P4 login entry had more than one url each would be listed when a user typed the '1P' shortcut in Alfred. I've included a screen shot for reference.
 
In the given screen shot, I have three URLs for Plex (Forums, myPlex, Web Manager).  It would be nice if I typed '1P Plex', I got a list of:
Plex (Forums) Plex (myPlex) Plex (Web Manager) Thanks for considering!

I'm actually quite baffled as to why iMessage chooses these obviously wrong email addresses to use. Since I only feed in actual contact names to iMessage, I leave it up to iMessage to pick the sending medium (email or phone number). As of now, I'm working on a way to better force iMessage to choose; I'll try to post it up in a couple days

A little preview of what I have so far (watch in HD if you can)
 
I had the artwork showing for the results but since Alfred can't use urls as icons for results yet, I would have to download the icon for all of them in order to show them. It can be done but slows things down a good bit (especially on a library the size of mine). One query downloaded over 10mb of artwork

Hi, this is probably the shortest and easiest workflow ever but i thought i'd post it anyway in case anyone finds it useful aswell. It simply removes the formatting from the text on the clipboard.
 
So, if you copy some text from Firefox and paste it in an E-mail, often the pasted text will have a different font/text size/bold,italic formatting than the alredy present text in your e-mail.
To solve this i use "Cmd + C" , "Alfred -> Strclip" , "Cmd + V", and the text will now be pasted with the correct formatting.
 
There's also a native OS X shortcut for this (Cmd + Alt + Shift + V), however it doesn't work in a lot of Applications (for example Pages) and also... pressing those 4 buttons is nearly impossible

EDIT: added option to "strip and paste".

Hi,
 
This is my first attempt at making workflows. Posting 2 very simple workflows for changing the desktop wallpapers.
 
1. Set Desktop Picture
 
A simple file Action which can be seen when browsing images in Alfred. Simply select "Set as Wallpaper" from the actions menu. Pre - Requisite : Change Picture should be Disabled in Desktop & Screen saver, in the preference pane.   2. Skip Wallpaper
 
Simply set a custom hotkey (Default is option + command + w), pressing the same skips to the next wallpaper. Pre - Requisite : Change Picture should be enabled in Desktop & Screen saver, in the preference pane.   Links : Set Desktop Picture    ::::    Skip Wallpaper  
With inputs from other forum members & Google.

Thanks for the picture; since this is my first big workflow, I'm taking some time out of each day to debug it. I'm not exactly sure why it's sending to the last recipient, and I'll update you when I find a fix.
 
I also updated my workflow to get some small bugs out of the way (which are in the change log above). Thanks for "testing" this app out; I don't think I would have been able to really understand an alfred workflow (and applescript) without you guys

Andrew
Thanks for the suggestion.
However, that hides the folder from other apps I use to update these folders.
 
Politicus
As this seems more complex than I can deal with I have added a comment to
Exclude folders and filetypes both globally and for file filters
in Feature suggestions.
Thanks
Jim

Yeah, definitely! I'm definitely trying to get there, but the problem is that iMessage only recognizes an iMessage contact after it has sent the text to the number. I'm trying to study online to see if I can find a solution, but I haven't found anything yet

I've been using the Smooth theme made by David Ferguson for some time and realized i needed just that theme with somewhat inverted colours.
 
Credit goes to David.

I love this. Thanks for sharing!

Alfred is already incredibly helpful on its own, but workflows such as yours make it even more unbelievable. Thanks for your work!
Just wondering if there's a way to segregate emails by To: Cc: and Bcc: ?
 
Working fine with Mavericks and Airmail, too, by the way.

So to outline my procedure: I basically just feed a name into iMessage and "trust" iMessage to pick the correct number. For me, 4 out of 5 times, it chooses correctly. (I know that isn't a great statistic, but as of this moment, I'm not sure how else to improve it). Currently, there isn't a way to extract the correct iMessage number out of a contact. I'm trying to see how to force iMessage to choose correctly, and I'll get back to you when I figure something out.

iMessage Workflow V3
 
My workflow has been easily surpassed by others, please use theirs  ---------> http://www.alfredfor...red/?hl=unicall
 
However, I'm updating this workflow to Alfred 3 for posterity's sake. Sorry for taking so long guys...

Change log:
 
2/12/2017 - Because of a specific error, I've updated this app. Alongside the minor bug, thanks to Amos Manneschmidt's workflow "Call or SMS contact", I learned how to use OSX's built in Contact app to feed out contacts. Furthermore, I updated this app to be compatible with Alfred 3.  
 
4/30/13 - Non-Latin languages are now supported! I have verified Korean, Chinese, and Japanese. If it works for your language, please tell me!
 
11/27/13 - My extension prioritizes numbers that have been used before. This should allow Alfred to choose the correct number associated with a contact MUCH more accurately. Works only with phone numbers, not email addresses;
A notification is now displayed when contacts are not updated successfully (mostly a response to Exceptions thrown when trying to update) 
 
11/21/13 - Emoticons should now work; Alfred now opens up iMessage if its closed
 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 
 
If using the OLD way:
Setup:  Run command 'IMU' before you start using the workflow
 
 
Find Contacts and Send Messages:
Keyword: "im"
 

 
1b. Send a message to the aforementioned contact
 

 
  2. Reply to most recent iMessage or Group Message (Thanks to David Ferguson's Workflow)
      Keyword: ".."

Please post up bugs in the comments below! 

2015-07-29: Version 2 released
 
MailTo: Select multiple Contacts and/or Groups, and compose in your favourite email app
 
Search your Contacts and compose an email to one or more recipients (or none) in your preferred email program. Also supports Groups.
 
The main aim—versus Alfred's built-in, more comprehensive contact handling—is to make it fast and easy to select multiple recipients and especially groups.
 


Features
Search and add recipients from your Contacts database Send to Groups/Distribution Lists (they're the same thing) Also enter email addresses by hand Use any email client you want (uses system default as standard) Results prioritised by order of email addresses in Contacts Download/Installation
 
Grab your copy from GitHub or Packal. Install in the usual fashion.
 
Usage
 
Keyword is @
@ + ENTER — compose a blank mail (no recipients) @ [part of name or email address] — search your Contacts for matches. You can also add email addresses not in your Contacts. ENTER/⌘+NUM — add selected email address to recipient list and go to email program TAB — add selected email address to recipient list and continue searching mailto — see and change current settings If you've entered an invalid email address, it will be removed from the recipient list when your email app is called. Supported apps
 
In theory, MailTo should work with any email client (it uses the mailto: protocol).
 
Tested and working with:
Airmail 1 Airmail 2 Apple Mail Sparrow Thunderbird Postbox Airmail (email addresses only) Unibox MailMate Mailbox Beta (email addresses only) MS Outlook Google Chrome (if you've set a handler) Fluid single-session browsers Does not work with:
Safari (it will just open your system default email client) More info
 
Please see the documentation.
 
Note on Groups
 
When deciding which email address to use for members of Groups, MailTo will use the one you've specified, or then the primary email address for the contact (don't ask me how to set that; I haven't been able to figure it out), and then the first one in their list of email addresses.
 
To specify which address to use for a contact in a Group, open Contacts and go to Edit > Edit Distribution List …
 
Changelog
 
2013-10-31
Add recipient name when calling email client, i.e. "Bob Smith <bob.smith@example.com>" instead of just "bob.smith@example.com". 2013-11-01
Add support for Groups Prioritise email addresses by primary status then order in Contacts Change ID (cache format has changed) Use MIT licence 2013-11-03

Properly format the mailto: URL so workflow works correctly with MailMate. 2013-12-06
Added built-in, app-specific support for the email clients listed above. They should now work flawlessly without any need to edit settings.
