    jarhead reacted to cortig in PubMed searches   
    Hi All,
     
    I just created a simple workflow for performing searches on PubMed (biomedical literature searches).
    It’s right here (zipped archive).

    Update (Feb 1st): I updated the version on the same link with the modification “hankydysplasia” submitted belowe just in case people don't read down the thread and miss his link. Now includes an option for searching for MESH terms witht he Alt key down (and a nicer-looking icon).

    jarhead reacted to CarlosNZ in EggTimer v2 [updated to 2.0 final]   
    Hey folks,
     
    I've been chugging away building a new version of my EggTimer extension to take advantage of Alfred 2's new features. And now it's ready for whoever would like to to have a playaround with it and see what they think:
     
    EggTimer v2.0
     
     
    It will also be available at Tom's Alfred Repo, but I personally haven't had a chance to test that yet, so let me know how it goes for you.
     
    Now, it's very much a beta, as there's several things that don't work as well as I'd like yet, but I'm pretty pleased with how the integration with Alfred 2's new live results feedback via the Script Filter is working. My aim is to have a really nicely polished, easy-to-use (no users fiddling with config files) workflow ready to release by the time Alfred 2 goes public, so any comments or suggestions are most welcome.  It's ready! (22 March 2013)
     
    I've included a full summary of all the functionality in the documentation included in the download (enter timer help in Alfred), but here's just a quick overview of the features:
    Simple timers Auto-repeating timers Alarms (set a specific time) Snooze function Repeat function Recent Timers list (choose one to restart) Full integration into Alfred's results window. Couple of quick caveats:
    EggTimer currently requires growlnotify to display notifications when timers finish. This is because the timer process completely decouples from Alfred to run in the background, so it can’t feed back its output to Alfred. I’m working on a solution to use a Notification Centre alert option to make this as seamless as possible to the user.
    Currently, running timers won’t restart after a crash or a reboot. I’m working on a solution to this which I aim to have working soon.
    Okay, that's about it. Enjoy, and let me know how it works for you.

    21 January 2013: Updated to beta 2
     
    Changes:
    Timers/Alarms now use a “while…” loop to check due time against time of day (instead of just sleeping for a duration). This prevents the problem of timers running late if the computer was put to sleep. (Don't know why I didn't just do this to begin with.) ----
     
    24 January 2013: Updated to beta 3
     
    Changes:
    Now uses recommended working folders for storing timer info and preferences. The main benefit from the user point of view is that future updates won’t overwrite your timers and preferences. Timers and Auto-timers now accept hour:minute input. Syntax is timer HRS:MINS Reminder. Can now stop timers from the timer list using the option-key modifier. Kind of an ugly implementation though, as it will display the same information regardless of whether it’s context-appropriate. Trying to think of a better way to make this work. (Suggestions welcome!) Timers will be restored if they have crashed. This is only partially implemented though, because it’ll only check if you actually run the workflow. It won’t restore them at login yet, which is more important. Working on it. Miscellaneous minor tweaks. ----
     
    27 January 2013: Updated to beta 4
     
    Changes:
    The big one: will now resume timers after restart/re-login. EggTimer adds an entry to the OS X launchd daemon to check for and resume timers at startup. You will be prompted to give permission for this on first launch of EggTimer. New keyword/workflow structure. Check out the workflow config panel to see what’s what. If you’d prefer the old ones (all starting with timer), just change them yourself (eg. repeat -> timer repeat). You’ll note that from the timer list (timers or hotkey Ctrl-T) you can also select to launch a new timer or alarm (courtesy of Alfred’s new Applescript-ability). Now has a “nuke” option (timer nuke) to reset EggTimer back to initial blank config. (Deletes all working folders, cancels running timers, uninstalls startup item.) Fixed bug with “08” and “09” minutes entries when using hrs:mins timer format. More specific icons and other miscellaneous UI tweaks. beta4a
    Fixed minor (and embarrassing) regression. ----
     
    28 January 2013: Updated to beta4b
     
    Changes:
    Fixed absolute path reference preventing permission dialog from launching.  
    28 January 2013: Updated to beta4c
     
    Changes:
    Doh! One more pesky absolute path eliminated. There's still a bit of weirdness with resuming timers after a login though, so I'm still trying to figure that out. Maybe answer "no" to installing startup item for now.. beta4d
    Okay, the problem was fairly minor (just me being scatterbrained ), so the startup check should work nicely now. Here's hoping! ---
     
    22 March 2013: Updated to v2.0 (final)
    I've finally integrated proper notifications for the completed timers. It will work with either Growl or Notification Centre, depending on what you have selected in the workflow config. growlnotify is no longer required, and you'll find "EggTimer" as a properly registered application within Growl's preferences (where you can tweak it). Miscellaneous tweaks and tidy-ups (including documentation - timer help to display)

    Now available for download here, a workflow version of the extension I used more than any other. It just adds plain text to a scratch file, but I've updated it a bit to work with Alfred's feedback system. No more editing the workflow by hand to set the file path, and no more installing the workflow multiple times with multiple keywords to use multiple files! Just install it, then enter "scratch" to get started.
     

     
    In a similar vein, but with a little less effort on the user's part called for, is the Thoughts workflow. It records a simple thought, then copies old thoughts to the clipboard or forgets them. The basic principle is the same, but the data isn't quite as portable or readable as a basic text file. Get it at the link above or via AlfPT.

     
    Now that I've realized that the size of the files was an error on my part, they'll be added to AlfPT shortly.

    jarhead reacted to ClintonStrong in Search Safari and Chrome Tabs [Updated Feb 8, 2014]   
    Search your tabs in Safari, Chrome, Chromium, Chrome Canary, and Webkit.



    When you action a result, it'll bring your browser to the front and switch to the selected tab. You can also close a tab by holding down alt when actioning a result.

    Download from Packal
     
    Updated Feb 8, 2014: Made it more resilient to an AppleScript error that could cause a blank output.
     
    Update #2, Feb 1, 2014: Fixed regression with searching. You should be able to search anchored by words (and capital letters in CamelCase words) again.
     
    Updated Feb 1, 2014: Rewrote the workflow. It now supports copying the URL of a tab, viewing a tab in QuickLook, and closing a tab with a modifier key.
     
    Updated Oct 11, 2013: Fixed issue with improper string encoding in Mavericks and Ruby 2.0 breaking the workflow.
     
    Updated Oct 9, 2013: Updated for Mavericks and Ruby 2.0.0. Removed thumbnails for now (beta versions of Safari don't seem to generate them anymore). Fixed some issues where the proper window wouldn't always focus correctly.
     
    Updated May 4, 2013: Experimental support for webpage thumbnails. Prevent launching browsers when WebKit is open.

    Updated Mar 26, 2013: (Hopefully) prevent launching browsers when it's not supposed to, and fix an issue with it not detecting WebKit.

    jarhead reacted to ClintonStrong in Debugging your workflows   
    Just wanted to share a few quick tips for debugging. If you're using /bin/bash to run a script, you can add "2> error.log" to output errors to a file. Example:
    ruby script.rb "{query}" 2> error.log  
    All errors will then be logged to error.log in your workflow's folder.
     
    Or if you want all output logged (perhaps so you can view the xml from a script filter), you could use tee:
     
    ruby script.rb "{query}" 2>&1 | tee output.log  
    That'll log errors from stderr in addition to standard output. Note that PHP doesn't output to stderr, so if you're using PHP you'll have to check PHP's error log instead.
     
    Also, if you have any formatting errors in a script filters' XML, Alfred will log it to Console.app.
     
    Hope this helps, and feel free to share your own tips.

    Hey guys, 
     
    so I'm not trying to steal anybody's thunder here so let me start by saying that Ryan Paul and Stephen Millard did all the work here.
     
    I just compiled the whole thing in one workflow with which you can create a new note, add content to a previous one, search a note by title in alfred, and search a note's content in evernote. Just take a look at the workflow to see what it does and what modifier keys to use.
     
    http://cl.ly/MAiE
     
    What what is cool with this is how to append text to a note:
    - type the keyword "evernote"
    - start typing the name of a note and then <tab> to autocomplete
    - type the content you want to add starting with ":"
