Doom

I already saw a thread for it and hoped, that this feature will come to Alfred 4 :S

I always wanted a customisable Preview Panel like on files (images) or the Clipboard manager in Alfred, but where you can put your custom content in it depending on the Workflow Item you're hovering (like Spotlight).

(and it would be perfect, if it would be transparent, not just a white webview  my alfred is blurred transparent)

Apple doesn't have a voice recognition api, but even with a perfect voice recognition, I don't think I would ever use this feature.

In alfred I type like "t Hello", "img Alfred logo", "pw 20", "ip 127.0.0.1", "g Alfread", so very short terms, it would take much more time to spell them

Voice recognition is more like for other apps, Siri and Google Now, Alfred isn't for natural languages imo.

Remote trackpad sounds interesting, especially with 3d touch but I don't know if it would work, it has to be instantly without any lag.

Notification Widget would be great, but it would take some time after pressing. It has to connect first and currently I have no idea for what I would use it.

Looks great (I don't know if its maybe too small).

I hope to see an Apple Watch integration at least later this year, after I bought the second gen

Hi Silva,
I moved some of my selfmade workflows to Github (also for versioned backupping), maybe you find something interesting: https://github.com/FirePanther/MyAlfredWorkflows
(sorry for the dirty code, there are many old, lazy codes)
 
I also extended the clipboard script a little bit.
 
I exported the current version here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8a5wi63nok5tmz6/-%20Clipboard%20Hotkeys%20-.alfredworkflow?dl=1
 
If you want to use the four alternative clipboards (F1 - F4), you have to edit the both lower php scripts in alfred and set the location (first line, should be the same on both scripts).
If you have a jailbroken iPhone or iPad with ssh, you can uncomment the appropriate line to send the clipboard to your iDevice (it's not perfect, special chars -.-). You need an ssh key for that. 
 

Would be awesome if we could select the device with this scheme.

I have an iMac and a Macbook, when I connect the lightning cable to my iPhone the alfred remote app automatically launches and I would like to select the device, too.

Currently the last device keeps selected

I love this idea.

I love to config it and I also love the way how you display a calendar in alfred, pretty creative!

This is a little "Hotkey-Only" Workflow.

You can add more hotkeys if you need, I just need 1 to 2 hotkeys.

This workflow allows you to paste the previous clipboards immediately, without opening Alfred.

When you copy two things you can paste the last clipboard with CMD + V and the previous clipboard with e.g. CMD + Option + V and the previous with CMD + Option + Ctrl + V.

After pasting the previous clipboard the order will be changed, so when you paste the previous two times you paste two different things (cause the previous becomes the last one and the last one becomes the previous one, pretty hard to explain and understand, just try it ).

You can skip as many clipboards as you want (you could add the 9th clipboard with e.g. Option + 9).

--- link removed, new link in the third post (with explanations) ---

ps: you have to add the hotkeys after installing this workflow

edit: sorry for the hyphens in the name, forgot them, please rename if you don't want it at the top of your workflows (all my hotkey workflows are on the top with hyphens)

Hey FirePanther, I removed your own workflows from your post because, as I wrote in the OP (and quoted in your post), this isn't the thread to pimp your own wares.

As Vítor astutely noted above, everyone thinks their own workflows are must-haves: that's usually why they wrote them in the first place…

Ok you're right, I wouldn't create them if I wouldn't need them

Didn't read the rules :S

I use this alot, I renamed it to "dl" and extended it (instead of ${HOME}/Downloads/* it searches for ${HOME}/Downloads/*/*, cause I have folders in my Downloads like JDownloader, Browser, Mail, Telegram, ...)
 
Git Repos - http://www.packal.org/workflow/git-repos
Found it today and already love it!
 
Translate - http://www.packal.org/workflow/translate
Had many translators but this is my favorite, I don't have to choose any language (from>to)

I really love this workflow!!!
Added Google Chrome (opens bitbucket or github <3) and Tower (opens the repo in Tower <3<3)
PERFECT!
 
I just don't understand why it shows me the Git Root Folder (there is no .git directory or so).
 
see: second entry

EDIT:

nevermind, there WAS a .git dir, I have no idea why removed and it works fine! thx

thanks, i'll use it

but imo it would be nice to screenshot the current safari/chrome tab (easy to get with applescript)

the workflow could get a filtering parameter. its easy to code.

example

time/date triggers are cronjobs, just download cronnix.app for that.

but an event listener (except for time events) would be cool

i am not sure, but i dont think, that the battery percentage is an event, the battery changes every second, its like an interval check (by alfred) and i wouldnt like that.

hey,
i downloaded it from packal and it doesnt work (i only get the fallback entries).
 
error message from alfred debugger:

[ERROR: alfred.workflow.input.scriptfilter] Code 1: Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "OmniTube.py", line 22, in <module>
    import os, requests, base64
ImportError: No module named requests

the "post notification" output should be an action.

after the post notification you could run a script. the post notification could be clicked (run an output script) or swiped away (do nothing) or even better, optionally you can display 2 buttons and the output script gets the notification return (clicked button id, swiped away, clicked, timeout, (textfield input?))

i have a terminal workflow which executes the terminal command in the current finder window. if the command has returned something i display a notification, but sometimes the return is too long for that, i would like to display it in large type or in quicklook after the user clicked on the notification

the notification function has potential and could have many options like show buttons, display/hide icon, show custom icon (i mean the right icon), show input field and the return

yes, i would also need a priority index, i also would prefer higher priorities than apps

i never use photo booth and want my pushbullet workflow over the apps

i couldnt find any similar idea in this forum.

ive made a "cpu" workflow like this:

and i would like that the cpu values refreshes automatically.

i tried this:

exec('osascript -e "delay 1" -e "tell application \\"Alfred 2\\" to search"')

and tried to make this asynchronous, but this doesnt work :/

it would be nice if i could create refreshing intervals. it would be like the terminal command "htop" and would be useful for some other workflows.

anything like this:

tell application "Alfred 2" to refresh after 1 second

or so

applescript/terminal shouldnt wait this one second, it should refresh automatically after 1 second (asynchronous)

and if the query changes, the refresh stops (the interval/timeout will be cleared)

kind regards

How are you getting the current directory? Are you running an AppleScript to get it?

yes, with cache for fast typing

function getActiveFinder() {
	$cache = '/tmp/alfred-finder.cache';
	if (is_file($cache) && filemtime($cache) > time() - 2) {
		$finder = file_get_contents($cache);
	} else {
		// activate finder
		$finder = @exec('osascript -e "tell application \\"Finder\\" to return POSIX path of (insertion location as alias)"');
		file_put_contents($cache, $finder);
	}
	return $finder;
}

hey, i had the same idea several times, i also would like this feature.
the user could see a tab where he can configure his variables the first time he installs the workflow or when he double clicks on the workflow, maybe with form types (input field, textarea, select) and regex pattern check

i like the idea from tyler,

you could even use html formats

i like script filters.

the history is live and works with this script filters

and i need this for many more extensions, nearly all of my extensions works with script filters

the way how to display the items is what i prefer

i thought about a checkbox, when i activate it, the process will be killed immediately.

i have many cachesystems and work with the ram, i think php isnt fast enough.

i have a workflow, which creates new files on the current location.

the problem is, when i type too fast, e.g. "new index.php", and press enter, it creates a file named index.txt (default extension, when i dont write an extension, e.g. when i write index or index.)

i worked for a long while and tried the folowing thing:

if the last char is a dot, then »tell application "Alfred 2" to search« (opens alfred window), but this works sometimes, doesnt work, when i am too fast and it recognizes just "new index"

API bans for running too many queries

a limit would also be a possibility.

it could run 5 threads parallel and when the first thread dies, the next thread could start.

atm i am downloading the icons via script by myself. imo, if the webserver is slow and i get a timeout, the icon can be discarded.

when i click on an item before the icon is loaded, growl or notification center will show the placeholder icon (default icon of this app).

i would love this feature! i would need this so often, i have some workflows (wiktionary, youtube, google image, google search, iconfinder), where i cant show any icons, because the results will appear very slowly when i do.

e.g. I have the keyword "google". When I type "google", it could show me the google icon immediately, when I press the backspace button, the icon disappears and I see "googl" (because of the backspace). The icon would be visible inside the input field, it's like the hotkey function for workflows, but it appears live during your input, without hotkey.

It should be possible to stop the script immediately when the user is still typing. When I have a slower workflow I see, that when I write "word", that the script is still showing the items for "w".
