Very cool! Thank you for sharing it.

Can you please test search with this new version (beta)? Download Regarding Spotlight and preview. This workflow is using Evernote Script Dictionary instead of reading files directly. Right now the Evernote script does not give the path to the note (or to its image preview), only a reference to the note. Though Evernote scripting does this its quick look is not prepared for that, at least not yet. Anyway, I’ll try to find a way to make things easier just in case the title is not enough.

In resume: zip file(s)/folder(s) move to Dropbox Public folder copy the shortened link to the clipboard Right? I think I can mix the two workflows together. I’ll post here a test version as soon as possible.

I’ll see how can add such feature and I’ll let you know.

Hi MrMuetze You have posted here about your request. Right now you could use Zip and that Dropbox workflow (did you get my Dropbox workflow?). Zip then a hotkey… Not too bad. Of course, it is possible to create a single workflow.

Thank you. Initial post download link fixed. Great to hear! Sometimes I need to name an archive too. I’ll take a look. I also use DropBox. I made a simple workflow for it (move a file to Public folder and copy the URL to the clipboard) that I still need to update to make it even easier to configure. Thank you.

Version 2 is ready: Alfred File Action with multiple files support Zip filename based on selection clean .DS_Store files

A website that you can search, review, comment and rate would be great. MacUpdate.com comes in mind…

Evernote for Apple Script does not have a direct way to do that (as far as I can see). Anyway, I’ll try to find a workaround… Remember that you can see results in Evernote using the fallback search (see initial post). How many notes do you have? It’s fast here but I have about 100 notes. I’ll see what I can do to tweak the workflow making it faster. Florian has an Evernote workflow with a different (faster) searching approach though I’m not sure it searches for content.

Thank you twinpeaks. I own a SizeUp license and I kind of like it. I never tried Slate.

I think it is possible indeed. Layouts, mentioned in my initial post, is a huge start. You can try SizeUp for free to have a good idea about the app.

Thank you!

Nice collection Florian. I see we took different approaches regarding search Evernote. Nice!

Great to hear! Append sounds nice. I’ll think about it.

There is a great layout workflow based on Layouts (http://projects.jga.me/layouts/#toc0). Free! However, I’m use to some of the SizeUp (shareware, $13) application Preferences regarding moving and resizing windows, snap them back and move a window to the next space. So I decided to make an Alfred workflow just in case you can’t remember a hotkey or even if you prefer to use Alfred.

Thank you twinpeaks. Your feedback was really great and helpful.

You can search only in titles using intitle: So if you are searching for notes that have the word “movie” just type intitle:movie More hints here: http://dev.evernote.com/documentation/cloud/chapters/search_grammar.php In addition, remember that Evernote does not search for half words. Use asterisk if you want to type only part of a word e.g. mov*

Alfred supports Growl so it’s just a matter of a small workflow change: 1. Open Alfred Preferences 2. Go to Workflows 3. Select Add to Playlist 4. Double click Post Notification (it’s the red dot at right) 5. Now click Output to and select Growl 6. Click Save and it should work Let me know if you need any help.

Alfred 4 Read about this workflow below. This is an update to address the new Alfred 4 data folder (thanks to xilopaint). DOWNLOAD Evernote Workflow 9 beta 4 for Alfred 4 Description Alfred 3 workflow to search and create notes in Evernote. Search Keywords ens to search in every note field ens @ to search in a selected notebook ens # to search notes with a selected tags You can use ent (search in titles only) or enr (search in reminders) or entodo (search to-do notes) or enrec (search notes updated within a week) or enu (search notes with a source URL) instead of ens. You can select multiple tags to fine tune your searching. Just add a second hash sign and select or type the tag e.g. ens #tag1 #tag2 :my query In addition, you can select a single notebook then tags too e.g. ent @notebook #tag1 #tag2 :my query Note that, if you want to select a notebook and/or tags, the query goes after the colon sign as seen above. Actions Return key to open the note Shift key to preview the note Option key to set a reminder Control key to paste the note text content to the top most application Function key to open the note URL Command key to append text (from clipboard, selected text or typed) or selected file(s) in Finder. After pressing the Command key a new Alfred window will be shown so you will be able to select the text source and the action: Return key will append without date Option key with append with current date Hint: You can also use the Command key to only add tags to a note. To do so, type or select a tag and don't type anything after the colon then select the source "Type a Note" e.g. enn #tag : Note that Alfred Fallback Search is also supported (you have to add it in Alfred 2 Preferences>Features>Default Results, then click Setup fallback results button). Create Keyword enn http://cl.ly/image/3t1e440l1c0Q/enn8.png You can optionally type the note title or, for a more complex creation, follow the syntax below: @Notebook #tag1 #tag2 !reminder :Title @notebook: after typing @ a list of notebooks will be displayed then select one or type it; the default will be used if omitted #tags: after typing # a list of tags will be displayed then select one or type a new one (multiple tags are supported, type each one after a hash sign) !reminder: after typing an exclamation point a list of reminder suggestions will be displayed then select one or type a custom reminder such as in 4 days or 05/01/2014 or 05/01/2014 at 2:00 Title: at the end, after a colon (or the second colon if you are adding time in your reminder) Note that items of the syntax are optional, however the syntax has to end with a colon, with or without typing the note title e.g. #tag1 : Note Content Source From clipboard From selected text Typed directly in Alfred From Safari or Google Chrome URL From message(s) selected in Mail app From file(s) selected in Finder app: you can create one note with files or one note for each selected files. Alfred File Browser also supported. Type a Note also supports multiple lines and, in this case, the first line will be the title of the note e.g. enn Line 1 /n Line 2 /n Line 3 Actions Return key: create a note Control Key: create a note and open it Command key: append text or file to a note Option key: append text to a note with current date How to Append Highlight one of the note content source e.g. From Clipboard Optionally type tags and a reminder e.g. #tag1 #tag2 !tomorrow hold command key and hit return key select a note from the list (search by title only) and hit return key Mail Message subject as the note title Message received date as the note creation date Message Link as the note source URL A short header (e.g. sender) A plain text version of the email content Note Templates Read about templates here. Preferences Bring Alfred and type the keyword enpref: Search wildcard: you can set the workflow to automatically use the Evernote search wildcard (*) or you can set the workflow to use only if it is typed (the Manual setting may by faster in a huge note collection).

I’ll be honest David: I never tried the hotkey. Thank you for point it. Anyway, drag and drop may be a nice alternative to use Alfred, maybe even a good feature to bring more users to it, users that don’t like or don’t want to remember a lot of hotkeys. Sometimes, I just like to use the mouse and have Alfred in hand, in this case, would be great.

It would be interesting to drag and drop files from Finder over Alfred dock icon and have File Action list automatically opened so we could easily select an operation e.g. Copy. Maybe Andrew could consider (I said consider) this feature for 2.5?

I’ll download your workflow as soon as possible. It’s nice to have a kind of Finder Favorites within Alfred. Maybe your workflow should be part of Alfred since it provides a very useful feature. Thanks again for sharing it.

I did something similar but for any file or folder. You can basically "fav" anything from Alfred. I'll post it as soon as possible.

Notes with New Text File with Tag 4.0 Overview Easily create new tagged plain text files. Synchronize your notes by selecting a Dropbox folder as your working folder. View your notes, including tags, with an application such as nvALT. Setup You can configure the workflow anytime by typing the keyword setup-nft though you will be prompted to do it if it is the first time you run the workflow. There are 6 steps. 1. Select the Working Folder Type the name of the folder that you want to save your text files. You can select a Dropbox folder to synchronize your files. 2. Set the Preferred Extension In order to make things faster, the workflow adds the file extension automatically. Here you can set your preferred text file extension. The default is .txt. 3. Set the Journal Name Journal is a single file to easily add text with current date (default name is Journal). 4. Set the Date Format This setting will be used in every Journal entry, Prepend text to a file or Append text to a file. Select a format or use the following variables to build a custom one: $m (month as number) $mm (month) $d (day) $w (weekday) $y (year) $h (hour) $n (minute) $s (second) $f (full date and time) 5. Set the Filename Timestamp Configure a custom date format, such as $y$m$d$h$n$s, that can be easily added to a filename by using the variable $t e.g. nf #my file $t You can build a custom one in this setup step by using the following variables: $m (month as number) $mm (month) $d (day) $w (weekday) $y (year) $h (hour) $n (minute) $s (second) 6. Markdown URL ON or OFF If the topmost application is Safari, Google Chrome, Firefox or OSX Mail the workflow will append the URL to the new file; to get it in a markdown style select ON. How to use the workflow Select a text in e.g. Safari Bring Alfred and type the keyword nf Click New File from Text Selection Done! A new note will be created in the working folder, named based on the selected text, tagged with Safari (the topmost application) and with the URL appended to it. See advanced features below. Triggering Keyword nf? - shows some syntax tips along with access to the Help file (see screenshot below) Keyword setup-nft - workflow preferences Keyword nf - add content (see details below) keyword ns - search content (see details below) Hotkeys - that are 4: create a new note from text selection, create a new note from the clipboard content, add selected text to the journal and bring the search feature Fallback search - you can add this workflow to your Alfred fallback search preferences Add content: keyword nf Keyword nf overview Note: the New File from Mail Selected Messages item is displayed only if the topmost application is the Mail application. Here you can find four ways to easily create a new text file: New File from the Clipboard New File from Text Selection New Blank File New Note New File from Mail Selected Messages Note: New File from Mail Selected Messages (item 5) will be displayed only if the topmost application is the Mail application. In resume, the workflow can create a new text file with content from the clipboard (item 1), from the text selected in another application (item 2), from Messages selected in Mail (item 5) or typed directly in Alfred window (item 4). In addition, you can also create a New Blank File (item 3) that will be opened in the default text editor so you can enter the content right away. Although it is not required to type any additional text (items 1, 2, 3 and 5), this module works with the following pattern: tags#filename It means that you can enter tags (separated by comma) right after the keyword nf then type a hash sign then type the filename (in New Note the filename and the note itself are the same). For example: nf tag1,tag2#filename Advanced features Most advanced features are shared by all items displayed by the keyword nf: type tags in Alfred window separated by comma e.g. nf tag1,tag2 remove the default tag (topmost application name) by adding a minus sign at the end of the tags e.g. nf tag1,tag2- or nf - add a custom filename by typing a hash sign after the tags e.g. nf tag1,tag2#filename or #filename add a custom filename and extension e.g. nf tag1,tag2#filename.md add the filename timestamp configured in the workflow setup by using the variable $t e.g. nf tag1,tag2#filename $t add a custom timestamp to the filename using the following variables: $m (month as number), $mm (month), $d (day), $w (weekday), $y (year), $h (hour), $n (minute), $s (second) tell the workflow to not append the URL by adding “at sign” at the end e.g. nf tag1,tag2#filename.md@ or nf tag1,tag2@ or nf @ tell the workflow to not add the date in Prepend or Append text features by adding -d at the end e.g. nf #my note-d or #my note@-d hold command key to create the new file in the topmost Finder window instead of the working folder hold control key to prepend text to any file instead of create a new one: a list with your files will be loaded in Alfred so you can easily select it hold option key to append text to any file instead of create a new one: a list with your files will be loaded in Alfred so you can easily select it hold shift key to add text to your journal Mail app special feature There are two ways to take advantage of the special workflow Mail feature: by selecting a text in an email, bring Alfred, type the keyword nf then select New File from Text Selection. Use this approach if you need only some text of the email. by selecting messages in Mail, bring Alfred, type the keyword nf then select New File from Mail Selected Messages. This is the easiest way to add the entire email content. Along with the text content, the workflow will prepend a short header with the most important information about the email and it will append the message link or URL (clicking it will open the original message in Mail). Journal The Journal feature is a single file to add new text with a timestamp (current date). You can set a custom date format in the workflow setup (keyword setup-nft). To add a new Journal text: Bring Alfred and type the keyword nf Select the text content (from Clipboard, from Text Selection or New Note) Hold shift key and hit return key You can also use the Journal hotkey to easily add a new entry based on text selected in another application. Search content: keyword ns Search text files saved in the working folder: the default search includes text content, filename and tags start with c: to search content only start with n: to search filenames only start with t: to search tags only hold control key to paste the text file content direclty to the topmost application hold option key to add tags to a text file hold command key to reveal the file in Finder hit shift key to preview a text file (OSX Quick Look) hit return key to open a file the first item in Alfred is always “Show in nvALT” (if the application is installed): click it to view the results in nvALT Note that you can tag a file from the search window by holding option key. The workflow will list all openmeta recently used tags so you can easily select one. You can also create new tags separeted by comma e.g. tag1,tag2,tag3. What’s new Version 4.0 streamlined features focused on content creation keyword nf instead of newf keyword ns instead of news prepend or append text to any file in working folder custom date format that will be used in Journal, Prepend and Append features custom filename timestamp ($t) that can be used to create a filename easily add text from Mail app (selected or all email content) along with basic email information and link or URL select plain URL or Markdown URL format workflow preferences and initial setup within Alfred keyword nf? for Help within Alfred too you can tag any file from search feature: type ns keyword, highlight a file, hold option key and hit return: a list of openmeta recent tags will be displayed in Alfred (select one or create new tags separated by commas) New Note now works more like the other features: tags#note here or #note here improved search module (keyword ns) add a custom timestamp to the filename using variables fn key is not used by default due wired Apple keyboards workflow update to Alfred 2.0.3 (187) removed Copy Text File from Finder Version 3.0 Create a new file in Finder (hold control key) Optionally add a file extension (see Help for details) Version 2.8 Paste a note to the topmost application (e.g. start a search, select a note, hold fn key and press Return)Version 2.7 Select a default extension (.txt or .md) Faster searching feature New icons Version 2.5 Alfred Fallback search (you have to add it to your fallback search list) Add @ at the end to not add the URL Version 2.0 Journal (add text to a custom text file) Search notes within Alfred nvALT support Alleyoop workflow support Download Version 4.0 Release date: 29 May 2013 Made in OS X 10.8.3 Supports Alleyoop 2 Download now PS: thank you twinpeaks for your feedback PS: post wrote in Byword and converted using Markdown to BBCode workflow
