paulw reacted to N00bDaan in Workflow to search Terminal history
Hi guys 'n girls,
As I never can exactly remember all the different commands I'm using in the Terminal, and since I could not find an existing workflow for this, I wrote something small: http://www.packal.org/workflow/search-terminal-history
Hopefully it is helpful for others too. Might be useful to set the option HISTFILESIZE=10000000 in your .bash_profile if you want to retain history longer than the default 500 lines.
Cheers!

paulw reacted to CarlosNZ in TimeZones - a World Clock script filter [updated to v1.7]
Hi Paul, hope you've figured it out by now, but you'll just need to run "timezone update" on the workflow to force it refresh its local offset database. It should show the correct time (DST or normal) after that.

paulw reacted to deanishe in Default Folder X
Hey Nick,
Turns out a DFX workflow was a bloody marvellous idea (at least that's what I think). It's the best source of recent folders/favourites by far.
As a result, I've updated the workflow to be what I consider a "proper" workflow.
Basically, it now talks to DFX in the background, so it will be waaay faster, and I've also turned on auto-updates (at least partially).
Please download the new version from the URL above.
And thanks for the great idea!
Let me know if you have any more splendid ideas to improve it.

paulw reacted to claui in New Calendar Event Using Quick Entry Option Workflow
For me, it only seems to work when I give Calendar a bit of time to get ready, e. g. when I insert a delay like this:
set the clipboard to "{query}" as text tell application "Calendar" to activate delay 0.5 tell application "System Events" keystroke "n" using {command down} keystroke "v" using {command down} keystroke return end tell -

paulw reacted to rice.shawn in Packal Updater
I forgot to mention, if you have Alfred Cron installed, the workflow will give you an option to install a script that will check for workflow updates once per day. You can easily change the timing by editing the job after "installing" it into Alfred Cron.
If it finds any updates, it will notify you via Terminal Notifier. If you click the "show" button on the notification, then it'll show you the updates.

paulw reacted to rice.shawn in Packal Updater
Glad it fixed it.
Open the GUI. In the status tab, you should see "xxx workflows can be downloaded from packal" or something. If you don't see that, then all that are possible have already been downloaded from Packal. If you do see that, click the "details" just below that, and you'll see a list of them. If you click any of those workflows, then it'll open the workflow page on Packal in your default browser.
I have some commented out code in the workflow to have an option to "force packal" — the wording is terrible, which basically will automatically re-download all of the workflows that are available on Packal but you haven't downloaded from Packal yet. I haven't gotten in working in a satisfactory way for me to have it implemented, so I figured I'd delay that feature for now. Currently, it's too aggressive for my taste.

paulw reacted to Vero in Mail.app search by author, subject or content [For macOS Mojave & earlier]
Thought I should share this workflow to search Mail.app
Use the following keywords to search:
emfrom to search the sender's name and email address em for a general subject + content search emsubj to search specifically for a subject line
You can download it here. Enjoy!
This version is suitable for both Alfred 3 and Alfred 4.
Compatible with macOS versions up to Mojave. Unfortunately, due to some changes made by Apple in macOS Catalina, it's no longer possible for third-party apps to access your Mail data. This may change in the future, but currently, using this workflow in Catalina or Big Sur will not return any results.

paulw reacted to Carlos-Sz in Pinboard 1.53 (Alfred 4): Search, Add and Delete Bookmarks
Alfred 4
Read about the workflow below.
Here is an update for Alfred 4: DOWNLOAD
NOTE: Right now the workflow does not support URLs with "#" in it.
Overview
Pinboard workflow is a front end for Pinboard that allows you:
search filter by tags add public bookmarks add private bookmarks set a new bookmark as To Read delete a bookmark get the selected text as the bookmark description (see Syntax) interact with: Safari, Google Chrome, Google Chrome Canary, Chromium, Webkit and Firefox First Run
Before running the workflow you need to set your Pinboard API Token:
To get it go to your Pinboard account and copy the API in Settings>Password.
To enter it open Alfred Preferences>Workflows then select Pinboard then, finally, click in Configure Workflow and Variables (as seen below):
Usage
If you need help show Alfred and type the keyword phelp
Search
Search will always look for URL, title, description and tags.
Basic search
show Alfred and type the keyword ps type your query e.g. ps apple Filtering by tags
show Alfred and type the keyword ps type a hash sign and select a tag from the list (autocomplete) e.g. ps #tag1 #tag2 : after the colon type your query e.g. ps #tag1 #tag2 :apple Actions
return key: open the bookmark option key: delete the bookmark (you may need to manually reload the local cache) Add
Public, Private and To Read Bookmarks
The workflow will list always two options:
Add Public Bookmark to Pinboard Add Private Bookmark to Pinboard Holding Command key will add it as an unread bookmark.
Note: make sure your Browser is the front most window then use the keyword pa
Note: Firefox may need that you reload the page. Anyway, the workflow always show the URL so you can check if it is right or not.
Last Used
The workflow also saves the last command (Last Used item) so you can easily replicate. And with a hotkey you can add a bookmark even without any interaction at all.
Syntax
You can optionally add tags and a custom description.
To add tags simply type a hash sign and select it from the list (autocomplete) e.g. pa #tag1 #tag2 :
After the colon, as seen above, you can optionally type the bookmark description e.g. pa #tag1 #tag2 :great workflow
And in order to get the selected text as the bookmark description type enclosed brackets after the colon e.g. pa [] or pa #tag1 #tag2 :[]
To add just a description just type it after the keyword e.g. pa great workflow
Hotkeys
Search, Add and Last Used have also a hotkey that you can set in Alfred Preferences.
Local Bookmark Cache
In order to make things a bit faster, the workflow caches all your Pinboard bookmarks and tags.
However, due even Pinboard API limitations the workflow will not, for now at least, update the cache automatically.
However, if your cache is more than one day older the workflow will let you know.
Anyway, you can use the keyword preload to manually update the local cache.
Finally, the workflow has an external trigger so you can update the local cache from other application or script. Just use the code below:
tell application "Alfred 3" run trigger "reload" in workflow "com.sztoltz.pinboard" with argument "" end tell Download

paulw reacted to jmjeong in alfred-pinboard version2.3 (alfred3 support)
pbtag syntax is [pbtag {tag} {search}].
pbtag command will show tag list in pinboard.in. After [pbtag tag] is completed, next searches bookmark in the selected tag.
[Tab] key means the 'auto complete' key.

Nice catch, paulw. It should now be fixed.

paulw reacted to vitor in PinAdd — Takes arguments as tags, and adds your browser’s frontmost tab as a pinboard bookmark
This workflow is officially deprecated in favour of PinPlus. It was released to the public domain, so I leave the record here if anyone is interested. You can still find the old source on Github.
Before using this workflow, you need to configure it with your Pinboard account by running :configurepinadd followed by your api token and your preferred browser.
You can get the API token of you Pinboard account by visiting https://pinboard.in/settings/password
Your preferred browser may be one of Safari, Webkit, Chrome, ChromeCanary, Chromium, or depends (“depends” uses the browser you have as the frontmost window, provided it’s one of the mentioned ones).
An example configuration would be: configurepinadd username:HSJWJK2HHSKI14QPDOIK safari
When you’re all set, call pin followed by your tags and/or description — both are optional, and descriptions must be preceded by // (two forward slashes and a space). Pick if it should be added as a regular bookmark or as a private one (this is important, as it’ll trump your default options), and you’re done.
The title of the bookmark will be the title of the page.
You can also precede your tags with . (a single period), and it will add the bookmark as unread.
There’s also a hotkey you can setup to quickly add bookmaks as unread (without any tags or description).
If adding a bookmark fails for any reason (for example, if the connection drops), you’ll get a notification and a PinAddRetry.command file will be added to your Desktop (if it happens multiple times, it’ll add an entry for each failed attempt). You can double-click this file at a later time to run it, and retry adding the bookmarks.
