    Try 2023.7. Now it should do it.

    It should still be working on the Frontmost Browser, but not being generally available gives no way to test and see what could be the cause.

    @vitor thanks for the explanations. I see now that yes it does work with Orion. Thank you! I'm currently using the Orion beta for subscribers (Orion RC) and it's not in Alfred's list. No worries, I wouldn't expect the team to add it, but in case you do, please let me know

    Added in 2023.6. Orion was already supported by the Tasks, but not added in the code to detect frontmost browsers.
     
     
    Detecting browsers isn’t the issue, automating them is. There is no generic way to do it. For example, Firefox doesn’t have an AppleScript dictionary and Arc’s is still incomplete and inconsistent with other Chromium browsers. Orion’s was also inconsistent with Safari but those have been reported to the team and fixed. In other words, every browser has to be supported specifically and there’s no way around that.
     
     
    If you want to define a specific browser, there are other Automation Tasks groups for that. “Frontmost Browser” is just that, whichever is the frontmost without specifying it.

    paulw got a reaction from Vero in Snippet expansion in Orion Browser   
    Brilliant! That worked, thanks @Vero. Just shifting it down to "Faster" solved the issue. I'll update the Orion bug report with that info.

    paulw reacted to Vero in Snippet expansion in Orion Browser   
    @paulw Could you try slowing down key events in Alfred's Snippets preferences? It may be that Orion is a slower browser, and needs more time between actions.
     
    To do this, open your Alfred prefs > Features > Snippets > Auto-Expansion Options > Tweaking > Simulated key event speed. Set it to the slowest speed and see if the keyword is fully removed. If it is, speed up the key events until you get to a timing that still works for Orion without necessarily being the slowest.
     
    Let me know how you get on  It might be worth adding this note to the Orion bug report if it sorts things out for you.

    It would be wonderful if the date and time placeholders allowed a target timezone to be specified, e.g. for current datetime in UTC:
    {datetime UTC} Date arithmetic could then follow this optional target timezone. For instance, current datetime in UTC minus 1 year plus 2 hours:
    {datetime UTC -1Y +2h} Thanks for reading!

    The Remote app can't do that, but I would also love a way to sync clipboard history and snippets between iOS and Alfred.
     
    I found this old reference to a Workflow (now Shortcuts app), but the link is for the old Workflow app and doesn't work. [Edit: it does work actually]
     
    And there's also this python script by @deanishe for one-way syncing iOS snippets to Alfred.

    paulw reacted to LucCogZest in Browse Hook Bookmarks   
    This workflow enables you to search your hook productivity bookmarks.
     
    You can get our workflow from Hook's Alfred page.
     
    Regarding Hook and its bookmarks
     
    Hook is a truly universal, contextual bookmarking app. It enables you to bookmark and bidirectionally link ('hook together') items from almost any app: such as web pages, files, emails, tasks ( OmniFocus, Things, etc.), etc.
     
    For instance, you could bring up the Hook ( ⌘⇧SPACE) popup window on this web page, choose `Copy Link` ( ⌘C), and then paste the link anywhere you want. You could then bring up Hook on a document (in Finder,  BBEdit, Drafts, Bear or other apps), bring up Hook again (⌘⇧SPACE), and `Hook to Copied Link` (⌘V).That would hook them together.  Whenever you hook items together (or in 2.0, use `Copy Link` or `add bookmark`),  Hook creates bookmarks in its database.
     
    This workflow, then, lets you browse and search for any Hook bookmark you like.
     
    default keyword: hm
     
    The default keyword to access this workflow is 'hm' (short for 'hook bookmark')
     
    Usage Example:
     
    To find all Hook bookmarks that contain `.pdf`, in Alfred type : `hm .pdf`
     
    Dependencies
     
    This workflow requires version 1.5 or newer of Hook Essentials or Pro. Hook is available from the Hook productivity website: https://hookproductivity.com .
     
    Hook requires macOS 10.12.6 or newer. Hook is currently at version 1.8.
     
    Documentation
     
    This workflow's homepage on the Hook website is here: Free Alfred Workflows for Controlling Hook.
     
    Related automation for Hook
     
    Brett Terpstra has published a CLI ( command line interface) that enables you to get and create bookmark.
     
    Hook's automation is described on its website : Automation of Hook.
     
    Hook is a CogSci Apps® invention for your cognitive productivity 😊.

    paulw reacted to pseudometa in Obsidian Toolkit   
    Over last couple of weeks, I compiled a bunch of features related to Obsidian. It's already been tested by a bunch of people from the Obsidian Community, so should be rather stable. Noticed at some point that I only shared it in the Obsidian Forum and not the Alfred Forum, so here it is. 😅
     
    (I know that there are other Obsidian workflows, but they mostly focus on stuff like daily notes and after all have a very different feature set.)
     
    Full Feature List
    - Search your Vault (Open note, append clipboard, open in new pane, copy hook, ...)
    - Fully browse your vault folder structure via Alfred
    - Open Starred Files/Searches
    - Open Recent Files
    - OCR Screenshots (see image below)
    - Search the Obsidian Documentation
    - Search Community Plugins and directly open them in Obsidian or GitHub
    - Search & Preview Community Themes
    - Create Backups of your Vault
    - Enter Dual Mode (Edit + Preview)
    - Create a new note
    - Open various folders in .obsidian
    - Open the Obsidian settings
    - Toggle a CSS Snippet
    - One-Click-Convert a font file to base64-CSS
    - Open your current theme CSS file
    - Access your themes and snippets via Alfred
    - Quickly create a new CSS snippet from clipboard content
    - Display a list of Obsidian's default variables

    Updated for Monterey and removed support for older macOS versions. Also, added support choosing a length of time for Do Not Disturb to be active!
     
    It now uses a macOS Shortcut to do its task. Hopefully that means Apple won’t keep forcing us to come up with new solutions.

    The Shortcut is included, and you’re propped to install it on first activation:



    To update, download the latest version (same URL) or wait a few days and it’ll prompt you to on next usage, since it uses OneUpdater.
     
    If you’re on Big Sur and version 21.7 of this Workflow, the update won’t trigger until you update. The version you have should keep working.

    paulw reacted to deanishe in Using PHP on Monterey (macOS 12)?   
    When you log into macOS, your session isn’t bootstrapped from a shell like it is on Linux (at least, it used to be), so none of the settings in your .bashrc or .zshrc are loaded. Those files are also explicitly for interactive sessions (when the shell is connected to a terminal emulator like Terminal.app or iTerm), so they also aren’t loaded when you run bash/zsh from any other application, like Alfred.
