Using Evernote 8.9.2 workflow on Yosemite. When I try to enter a new note (ENN type-a-note) I get two popups asking me where Google Chrome.app is.

I don't have and I don't want Chrome on my Mac.

 

Is there a way to get rid of that popup?

It should not ask anything.

I’ll try to reproduce the issue.

[update] Please try version 8.93: download

Carlos,

 

Thank you for your answer.

Just did what you asked me to do.

Unfortunately it still does not work.

Yet Spotlight works smoothly.

 

I feel sorry to be alone in this case.

 

Regards.

Hi, 

 

Can confirm it doesn't work on Yosemite. You type "fav", "now" and it just defaults to google. "rec" also doesn't show the options in the workflow as per initial post. 

 

Cheers

Please, try Recent Items 4.1.

I got the same problem with OSX 10.10.

 

Workflow cannot find "/Users/(USER)/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/Workflow Data/com.sztoltz.recentitems/settings.plist”"

 

Could someone please upload an old v3 version as long as v4 is not fixed?

 

Thank you

Please, try Recent Items 4.1.

Hi,

 

Thank you for your workflow.

However even if I am not a newbie I do not explain myself why it does not work for me.

Could you give me some hints?

 

Yosemite.

Alfred 2.5.

 

Regards.

 

F.

Please, try to delete the workflow from Alfred Preferences, download it (see initial post) and install it again.

Note that the workflow relies on Yosemite spotlight.

Carlos,

 

Thank you so much for this workflow. Saves a lot of time and is key to my productivity workflow. I use the enn feature to create a note from a mail message quite often. When I do so the first 10-15 lines of the note is header info that is not needed, just a plain from and to would be enough.

 

Would it be possible to change the workflow that way? Or is there something I can edit to make the header more concise?

 

Best,

Fokke

You can try to edit line 553 of en_addnote.scpt:

set sNote to (paragraph 1 of theHeader & return & paragraph 2 of theHeader & return & paragraph 3 of theHeader & return & paragraph 4 of theHeader & return & return & sNote)

Maybe removing paragraph 1 of theHeader & return &

Carlos,

 

Have problems again, don't really knows what the problem is. The problem is always when typing "enn"

 

Using:

OS X Yosemite 10.10

Evernote from evernote.com 5.6.1

Alfred 2.5

Evernote workflow 8.92

Parallels desktop with Windows 8

 

The problem now is when i type "enn" the search google, search amazon and search wikipedia turns up(loading options take some time). I have deleted and installed and restarted workflow, evernote and alfred, didn't help.

 

After approx 30 minutes and no action done it worked again (don't understand)

 

Is there some cash to empty or what kind of problem could it be? The problem turns up from time to time (see my earlier posts)

I had to downgrade to Evernote 5.5.1 because the current version has too many bugs, specially regarding AppleScript.

I’ll try to make some tests as soon as possible and I’ll try to make some error handling across enn keyword.

Sometimes, pa fails for me. I get "Pinboard Error. Try it later." Running on yosemite, Safari and trying to bookmark a https site. Any suggestions to help debug? I didn't see anything useful in the Alfred debug output or console.

I’ll have to investigate the issue though it may happen even with a http link.

 

Hi Carlos,

 

I've just installed the 1.2 extension in Yosemite but adding tags does not work for me. They do not autocomplete and if I add any then the bookmark is added with no description or tags.

 

I can add just a description to a bookmark without issue.

 

Any ideas?

 

Best,

 

Alex

 

Try to delete the workflow then install it again.

It will need some time to download bookmarks and tags.

Anyway, as soon as possible I’ll make some tests.

When I try to use this workflow, it fails as soon as I use the spacebar. Alfred just reverts to a standard search. Here's the debug:

 

...

1. Delete the workflow from Alfred preferences

2. Download version 8.92 of the workflow from here

3. Install the workflow again

4. Make sure to use Evernote app from evernote.com

5. Make sure to update Alfred

I just downloaded this today and it works great! Thanks for all your work on this.

 

Could someone please tell me if this is possible? I'd like to append information to an existing note with this Alfred script. The note is titled Daily Task Log: 2014-10-16 but the date changes the title every day. I'm attaching a screenshot of the formatting of the note but basically I'd just want a timestamp and a short description appended. Here's what a note looks like: http://d.pr/i/16gP9/13Z0wacv

 

Is there a way of modifying one of these scripts to accomplish that?

I think it is possible to add current date as a template feature like selection and clipboard. Read about templates here.

Do you have PayPal? I want to donate money to you for doing such a good job maintaining this workflow. I use it every day multiple times a day.

Ditto.

Thank you. It is very nice to know the workflow is useful for you and that’s all that matter.

Code sample: link

Thanks,

 

8.92 seems to solve the problem. Works perfect.

Great. Thank you for your feedback.

It would be great. And by the way what about updating your workflow, sorry I'm a newbie and don't know if it happens automatically or not.

I will update probably next week and let you know.

Thank you. However, with regard to your category of "docs" I've noticed that Alfred shows not only .png but also .jpg files because I opened a lot of them yestarday, which fulfilled almost whole of Recent-files workflow's list of recent docs. Therefore I was wondering if it won't be difficult to turn a custom category, say c2, into documents exclusively, i.e. excluding images altogether?

 

I've made some quick research and found a pretty handy web page with UTI types which may turn out to be useful for someone (see below). Nevertheless personally, I've finally come to a conclusion that unlike images there is far too many UTI file types for documents to be found out only there, let alone including .odt, .ods, and many other Open Office and Windows Office newest types (i.e. .xlsx, .docx, etc.), which are not listed on the page:

https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Miscellaneous/Reference/UTIRef/Articles/System-DeclaredUniformTypeIdentifiers.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40009259-SW1

 

but hopefully, you know some simple solution to this document-only issue... And if there is no better solution than ferreting out a few-yard long list of UTI document types , I rather stick to the "doc" category of yours and my newly created custom category of "images".

The workflow could remove .png and .jpg/jpeg from the list instead of collecting all known documents type.

I’ll think about it.

Thank you for your feedback.

Thanks Carlos, but I found the issue. Long story short: I had the defaults (all) for escaping and the escaped path string was stopping the script from executing. Unchecking the escape options made the workflow work as intended.

 

Long version: My keyword test input was only working because I had didn't use a real path with forward slashes, etc. When I used the copy clipboard test results from the File Filter as the input for the keyword (e.g. /Volumes/Data SSD/Downloads/!Sorted/!Icons/test icon-ai.zip), it failed as well. Again the first line of the script is a test notification, so I know the script never ran. My other workflows don't use file paths, so I never ran into this corner case. 

 

Again, I could work around it by using Run NSApplescript instead of an embedded script, but I wanted to understand what was failing. Maybe this will help someone else as well. 

 

 

Thanks again to everyone who responded.

Great. For AppleScript check Double Quotes and Backslashes.

Hi

Have the same problem again.

 

Just installed the 8.91 version of the evernote workflow and updated Evernote

 

Have problem when typing enn just show "New note from template, Keyword: ennt"

 

When install 8.7 again the enn works fine and when install 8.9 the same problem occur.

 

Any solutions?

In addition, here is a new build (8.92) that changed the template keyword from ennt to etem

Download

Thanks a lot, it works very well even without opening an image beforehand - Alfred showed me three .png images, two of which opened as far as four days ago.

 

By the way, I've noticed that the command "rec doc" shows not only recent docs but also images, in fact on the list of so enumerated "docs" I have now exactly those three abovementioned .png images. So does the category "doc" comprise images, incl. other than .png images, as well?

OS X Spotlight consider some images (or at least a png) as a document too.

I can’t reproduce the issue but I’m making some tests.

Please try to delete the workflow from Alfred Preferences then install it again and make sure Alfred is also updated to version 2.5 (299).

Thanks for the feedback, but the new code only works when triggered by a keyword and fails to trigger from File Filter (same as original posted code).

Can you share the workflow? It seems file filter is working properly here (Mavericks + Alfred 2.5 (299))

A fantastic workflow! Thanks a lot. The workflow is enormously useful.

 

I'm trying to turn a custom category 1 into images/photos/pictures. However, in all probability I've set wrong file type names because Alred says "there is no recent images" after me entering into this newly created category of mine that I called "images".

 

Could anyone please provide respective type names here? Most likely it'll start working like magic after typing in proper file types.

The file type (UTI) for images: public.png,public.jpeg,public.image

To test, make sure to open an image.

Does anyone have idea why a Run Script action (/usr/bin/osascript) will not execute from a File Filter trigger? I could swear this was working earlier.

 

Trying to override the search in spotlight function with an applescript to parse the filename to a more usable form.

 

Applescript runs fine as standalone or if triggered by keyword in the workflow. Copying the applescript to a NSAppleScript action (triggered by the File Filter) works as well, but I prefer an embedded script.

 

I'm using the same Run script I've used in other workflows (and it works if triggered by a keyword in this workflow):

run script (POSIX file ((do shell script "pwd") & "/find-in-spotlight.scpt")) with parameters {"{query}"}

Yet no matter how I link it to the File Filter it doesn't execute.

It seems to be working here. Anyway, you can simplify the command e.g.:

run script "unidentified.scpt" with parameters {"{query}"}

It's weird, when I reinstall it works once, and then stops.  I don't know how to tell if my Evernote is from the Mac App Store or Evernote.com, is there any way to tell?

You can try to open the App Store app and check if Evernote is installed.

The workflow will only work properly with the Evernote from evernote.com and also with the latest Alfred version.

Unfortunately it still doesn't work.  Now it doesn't even show a Notification pop-up.

What Evernote version are you using? Make sure it is from evernote.com

In addition, try to delete the workflow from Alfred Preferences then install it again.

Carlos-Sz, 

 

Sorry, took 2 days for me to get to this but installed and works great. Thanks for the quick response, especially given Yosemite isn't even released yet!

 

Landon

Gerat! Thank you for your feedback.

Great workflow - thanks for that. One request - would it be possible to add the details of the Pinboard description field in the returned results? If I have a number of websites around a similar area I usually know which one I'm looking for by little notes I put in the description field.

 

Either way, thanks again for a great workflow.

The workflow will also search in description though it does not display it.

If you really need to always read the description then it is something I’ll have to think about it due the Alfred interface.

Hi Carlos, I love this Workflow but I'm wondering if I can choose whether or not to include the URL of the top most browser tab to Appended text?

 

I've included a short screencast showing my issue.  I just want to know if there's a way to choose whether or not to include the URL when appending text to a note?

 

Thanks,

Jamie

Update: The workflow isn't adding anything now when I try to Append... see screencast

Please, download the latest workflow version. I see you’re using 8.0. Great video by the way.

Download 8.91 for Evernote 5.6 app or greater

PS: see initial post for details.

This workflow sounds awesome, but I'm having troubles getting it working. I've installed it and configured it. When I take a screenshot, the image is saved in my dropbox folder. But no link ever is copied to my clipboard. And viewing the clipboard history ('ssc') doesn't show anything either. It just reports "No Results".

 

I've run the setupss, provided the dropbox folder and my dropbox URL string, and selected no url shortening service.

 

I do use a utility called ClipMenu that saves clipboard history for me. I doubt that is causing a conflict, but thought I'd mention it.

 

 Any thoughts I what might be wrong?

Did you set the workflow to work with Dropbox Public folder?

Are you using Mavericks?

Can you try to disable ClipMenu and make a test?

Thank you.

Really great workflow 

 

Thanks

Great. Thank you.
