OK. I made a workflow and tested it only with AppleScript Editor. Here is the code that worked:

—-The save as dialog uses text as input and UNIX path as far as I can tell
set filePath to POSIX path of q as text

tell application "System Events"
	set theApplication to application processes whose frontmost is true
	set target to item 1 of theApplication
	set target to a reference to front window of target
	set target to a reference to front sheet of target
	delay 0.5
	tell target to keystroke "g" using {command down, shift down} -- Activate goto field
	delay 0.5
	tell target
		set value of text field 1 to filePath
		delay 0.5
		key code 36 -- simulate pressing the Enter key
	end tell
end tell

I removed the “try” part of the code to better debug it… Your final code of course may add them back.

Finally, you can write AppleScript directly using Language "/usr/bin/osascript”.

1. I think line 3 should be...

set filePath to POSIX file q

…without the of

2. Can you please give us a link to download and try the workflow?

Evernote workflow 3.1 is out!

See initial post for details and thank you all for your feedback!

Version 2.1 is out

NEW: the workflow will ask if you also want to use the shortened URL service for images. If you set to “No” then the regular Dropbox URL will be copied to the clipboard and you can easily use it also in a forum.

Hi, I've added your workflow to the [Alfred Workflow List Website] to share with more users. Hope you like it.

http://www.alfredworkflow.com/#Evernote

Thank you! Nice site. 

Great!

 

I now have to evernote workflows and don't really know what the difference is. One by Florian Pellet and one by Carlos Alberto Sztoltz. Can someone comment on the difference?

There is a different approach for a note search (my workflow uses Evernote commands vs. spotlight) and how to add a new note may be different too (e.g. if you make a note or text selection while your Browser is the top most app the note will also include the URL).

Anyway, maybe you should try both and see what fits better in you way of take notes.

Nice, but one suggestion - add a File Action too. That would be my preferred way to access this function. (Which is the way I did it with my similar ImageShack workflow.)

I’ll add it for sure. Thanks.

Update: File Action added. Download it here.

Markdown to BBCode

What’s new?

• Up to 3 header levels (more than this is not visually relevant when translated to BBCode)
• Support for multiple links per paragraph
• Support for header + text style (e.g. bold)
• Markdow code span will be translated to BBCode text underline: enclose the word with a single backtick e.g. `backtick`
• Removed unecessary blank lines at the end of the text
• Support for code block by starting a line with tab (see below)

Here is a code block.
Start each line of it using a tab

PS: post wrote with Byword and converted using Markdown to BBCode workflow

This is not working for me.  It copies to clipboard but doesn't show up in imgur for some reason

Try to delete the workflow. Restart Alfred. Download and install the workflow again.

Its also great because you don't have to create an account and save/categorize your uploaded images. For those kinds of instances I would use dropbox or something like that. When I just want to upload a quick screen capture to someone or an image to post to a forum, but that I dont necessarily ever want to think about or interact with again, imgur is where I turn.

Excellent work and thank you! Big time saver. Jut a quick shift-cmd-4 to grab a screen and click it on the desktop then run your workflow. Very slick. 

I didn’t know imgur until the request and it is a very interesting and easy to use image service.

Upload to imgru 1.2

Goal

Upload a selected Finder image file to imgru.

Triggers

• Hotkey: select an image file in Finder, hit the hotkey and it will be uploaded and the link copied to the clipboard
• Keyword: select an image file in Finder, bring Alfred and type upimgur then hit return key and it will be uploaded and the link copied to the clipboard
• Keyword + option key: select an image file in Finder, bring Alfred, type upimgur, hold the Option key then hit return key and it will be uploaded, the link copied to the clipboard and the URL opened in the default Browser
• File Action: select an image file in Finder, hit the Alfred File Action hotkey (Cmd+Opt+\), select Upload with imgur

Note

Workflow requested by dviper48 here.

Download version 1.2 (23 Mar 2013) here.

Thanks, works perfectly! Just had to fix up a few places where you typed imgRU instead of imgUR in the descriptions. But the functionality of the workflow is spot on!

I’ll fix the description and make a new post for it.

Made a little icon in the look & feel of the Alfred file browser. If you like it Insert it here:

 

Overview

The workflow converts a markdown text to a forum BBCode and copy it to the clipboard.

Usage

Select the text to be converted in your Markdown Editor (such as Byword). Bring Alfred and type the keyword mark then hit Return key. You can also use a hotkey instead of the keyword.

Markdown Syntax

Headers

# Header Level 1
## Header Level 2
### Header Level 3

*Italic* or _Italic_
**Bold** or __Bold__
***Italic and Bold*** or ___Italic and Bold___
~~Strike Through~~
~~~Underline~~~

Multiple links per line utilizing the following format:

[Example](http://www.example.com)

Multiple images per line utilizing the following format:

![Example](http://www.example.com/example.png)

Single image link (that points to an URL) per line utilizing the following format:

[![Example](http://www.example.com/example.png)](http://www.example.com)

Up to 2 levels utilizing one asterisk then a space at the beginning for level 1 and a tab plus an asterisk and a space at the beginning for level 2:

* item at level 1
	* item at level 2
* another item at level 1

Up to 2 levels utilizing a number followed by a dot and a space at the beginning for level 1 and a tab plus a number followed by a dot and a space at the beginning for level 2:

1. item at level 1
	1. item at level 2
2. second item at level 1

Enclose the words with back ticks e.g. `inline code`

Unlike code block you may need to escape a markdown character using a backslash.

Code block

Type 3 back ticks in the first line alone and another 3 in the last line alone:

```

Code Line 1

Code Line 2

Code Line 3

```

The workflow will ignore any Markdown syntax within a code block. There is no need to escape a character.

Quote

Just start a line with a greater-than sign followed by a space as seen below:

> quoted text here

> quoted text line 1{space}{space}
> quoted text line 2

In a line alone you may type one of the following options:

---
- - - 
***
* * *
___

To type a markdown character that is part of a syntax without being recognized as a markdown one type a backslash ("\") in front of it. A link (any kind) requires only a single backslash at the beginning of the link.

Upload to imgru workflow

Uploads a selected Finder image to imgru and get the URL to the clipboard (optionally open the image).

You can trigger by using a hotkey or by using the keyword upimgru (hold option key to also open the file).

Download it here.

Very good job Carlos!

Thank you.

@Carlos-Sz

It works now! Thanks, a wonderful workflow!

Great to hear it is working now. Thank you for your feedback.

I have no idea how to even go about starting to write the scripts necessary to do this, but if someone else could, that would be awesome.

 

Id really like a workflow that would upload the currently selected Finder image file to the Imgur hosting service, and then copy the url for that uploaded image to the clipboard. Possibly an additional function could be alt+enter would not only copy that url to the clipboard but also open the url in your default browser.

I’m already making some tests.

I should have a test version later today. Stay tuned.

Hey Carlos, are you still getting this issue? I've tried to replicate it with your workflow, but haven't been able to replicate the issue (locally or over synced Macs). 

Hi Vero.

I made some tests (locally, I’m no synching yet) in both my computers but it didn’t happen again.

Can you please download this workflow* and see if it works (not only file action but also the workflow itself). I'm asking you this because I had to restart Alfred in both my computers in order to make it work. 

*workflow forum topic here.

Thank you in advance.

Sorry, nothing happens after the first run of the workflow. Tried it with Hotkey, Finder and Alfred file browser. Get no prompt. 

Can I set the preferences manually?

Please, quit Alfred then start it again (not only Alfred Preferences window, I mean Alfred itself). Now try the workflow again.

Move to Dropbox 2.0 is out!

- Path Finder support

- bitty and gooli for shortened URL

- step by step preferences (no need to edit workflow or scripts)

- improved keyword

- file action

- and more...

See initial post.

For anyone else wondering about the Public Folder. Yes, it is a deprecated concept, but it is still the only way to achieve this without accessing the API, which adds a layer of complexity to this. Your ID does not change, which is why this works.

 

The new method is superior, I agree, but it is also harder to implement.

I agree.

Great workflow!

Any change to implement a custom url shortener or the dropbox short url db.tt if it's still usable? Thanks!

For now the workflow will have:

- bitly (that requires login and API key but you’ll have stats about your uploaded files)

- gooli (that seems to be one of the fastest  in my tests)

- normal Dropbox URL

In the future and if I can fit in AppleScript it is possible to add more services of course.

Awesome plugin, will use every day.

 

My Alfred 2 stats keep growing these days :-)

Great to hear!

A new version is coming soon with support for bitly (shortened URL) and Path Finder along with zero script or workflow editing to enter personal information such as bitly login/API key and Dropbox Public folder location. In addition, File Action and better keyword support. It should be ready soon since I’m finishing some tests.

Any chance to get a Pathfinder version? Thanks!

Yes, I think it is possible. I post an updated version as soon as possible.
