    Yep, it's well and truly broken. There's no longer a search so there's no way to narrow down the items and select one programatically. Crap. On the other hand, it looks like 8.0.6 has full URI support now. It's possible I can generate the RDP URIs and use those to connect. It won't be for a while though.

    "The nogui option suppresses the user interface, including startup dialog box, to allow non‐interactive scripting." Nothing shows when you use nogui. You have to start the VMWare Fusion app separately.

    I'm going to register my disagreement with Alfred providing location services to workflows. Yes, it would be very, very helpful to workflow creators. But turning it on for Alfred would turn it on for _all_ workflows, and I, personally, don't want that.

    You might want to take a look at the funnel workflow as well. http://www.packal.org/workflow/funnel

    I tried ClipMenu. It was completely unreliable for me. I'd select item #1 and it would paste item #2. I'd select item #2 and it would paste item #1. Alfred, on the other hand, is 100% reliable. Personally, I'd love for Alfred to completely replace clipboard managers and Keyboard Maestro. I _don't_ want or expect it to completely replace Text Expander.

    Yep, it's one of the downsides of UI scripting instead of true AppleScript support from the app. I put in a feature request on the Microsoft support site but I'm not holding my breath.

    Ok, you can download an updated workflow from Packal or use this direct link - https://github.com/packal/repository/raw/master/com.tedwise.menubarsearch/menu_bar_search.alfredworkflow
  8. ctwise
    Open up the workflow and click on the debug button: Then invoke Alfred and try a menu command, e.g., 'm file'. There should be some debug output in the bottom of the Alfred preferences window showing some kind of problem. Copy and paste the output in this discussion.

    You appear to have some quoting/escaping issues. Only a very few queries work for me, most result in errors along these lines: Warning: SimpleXMLElement::addChild(): unterminated entity reference dept_id=458139&newsid=12176189&PAG=461&rfi=9 in /Users/ctwise/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/Alfred.alfredpreferences/workflows/user.workflow.220C307E-D429-4527-8E5A-27216286206C/bookmarks.php on line 40

    Awesome! I added it to the workflow.

    Simple workflow for quickly checking the status of a local RabbitMQ instance. It will give you a link to the management page, the instance status (Running, Loaded, etc.) and it will list the queue status of all the queues defined in the instance. You can start and stop the local RabbitMQ instance. The workflow assumes RabbitMQ was installed via Homebrew and that it is running on the default port. Download from Packal - https://github.com/packal/repository/raw/master/com.tedwise.rabbitmq/rabbitmq.alfredworkflow

    You are correct. The only way in Alfred to act on selected text is through a hotkey. Otherwise the Alfred input box becomes the text source. I'll update the workflow.

    It's the upgrade notice dialog box that comes up. Start the RDP app directly and dismiss the dialog box. Everything will go back to normal. You can thank: 1. Microsoft for displaying the stupid box. 2. Microsoft for not supporting Applescript in the app. 3. The brittleness of UI scripting since there's no Applescript support.

    If you're using the latest Alfred, can you turn on workflow debugging and see if you see any output?
  15. ctwise
    I just tested the workflow and it's working fine here. The only thing I can think of is your cursor isn't somewhere that allows pasting.

    Alfred relies on Spotlight, so it _should_ be able to do this, e.g., if you type in 'grd' then Alfred could search using mdfind "kMDItemDisplayName=='g*r*d*'c" which might return 'generate_index_command.rb' or 'gnutls_x509_crq_set_challenge_password.3'. But, that doesn't take into account word separators or some other complex filtering. If what you _really_ want is for 'grd' to return 'gnutls_record_discarded.3' but _not_ 'gnutls_record_get_discarded.3' then you're out of luck because Spotlight doesn't support grep. That said, you can create a workflow that does what you want, run the mdfind using the letters entered to get the base files, then filter them using a fuzzy search algorithm or grep and return them as files.

    Tag the file and search for tags.

    Never mind, looks like a CoreData thing. You'll have to make sure you're not including the folder in your search directories - ~/Library/Caches/Metadata/CoreData/com.potionfactory.TheHitList
  19. ctwise
    How are they showing up at all? The Hit List tasks are stored in a database, not in the filesystem.

    Yet another workflow for listing recently accessed documents. This one lists both the recent documents tracked by OS/X and the recent documents tracked by Alfred and merges them together. You can open a recent document or reveal it in Finder (or Path Finder if installed). It's located on Packal - https://github.com/packal/repository/raw/master/com.tedwise.recentdocs/recent_documents.alfredworkflow Update: A bug was reported when dealing with multibyte (UTF8) filenames. Download the newest release to fix it.

    Yet another RDP workflow. This one works exclusively with Microsoft Remote Desktop and lists all of the defined desktops. It works reliably, regardless of the state of the Microsoft Remote Desktop application, this has been a problem with other workflows. You can select from the desktop list or continue typing to filter down to just the desktop you want. It's on Packal already. https://github.com/packal/repository/raw/master/com.tedwise.rdp/microsoft_remote_desktop.alfredworkflow

    'plutil -convert json' vomits on many plist elements, like dates and data fields. Don't use it on system plists, it'll fail randomly when some app stores something in the plist that plutil doesn't like.
  23. ctwise
    And you can find one that was already there - http://packal.org/workflow/network-info That one works for all interfaces including VPN tunnels.
  24. ctwise
    The canonical reason for this is a third-party contacts data store, e.g., LDAP or a user database.
  25. ctwise
    The plutil parsing of com.apple.LaunchServices.plist fails on my system with an error "invalid object in plist for destination format". My file contains a '<data>' field for the LSHighResolutionModeIsMagnified key.
