Is it possible it can work with the new Kindle app

I deleted Kindle Classic and the workflow seems to work except it won't open dowloaded books in the new kindle app. is that your experience as well? 

@luciano it's failing to fetch the book covers. I can add an error handling to skip the covers that fail, but I am curious why it is happening.

I tried your cover and I can see it. Can you access this link in your browser? 

https://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/P/B081SDJHJN.01

is this the amazon link for the book?
https://www.amazon.com/Gambell-Lawrence-Island-Studies-Western-ebook/dp/B081SDJHJN

what OS are you on? which country/amazon market are you on? your URL root might be different

the debugger ends like that, with a truncated line? I removed it in this version, but it did not cause problems before. What python version are you using?

@artiman are you able to see your messages with olk? 

@luciano can you share the complete debugger message? Also, are you using Kindle or Kindle Classic? 

thanks @Ben DW. could you share the whole output, and also let me know if you can see your existing tasks

@luciano I have added in Workflow Configuration the options of 1) saving to clipboard, file, or both, and 2) a preferred folder.

hi @Ben DW, happy to help. you should see a notification in the upper right corner.

If not, could you check 1) if you are able to see your existing tasks via !3 and 2) if the debugger shows any messages? 

@albertkinng what are the basic features you'd like to see in such a workflow? searching for tasks, completing them, creating new ones? 

HI @AuspiringMind, have you tried what Dean recommended in the past? I.e. replacing all files except info.plist?

thanks @pseudometa for the excellent suggestion! I drafted a workflow which should do what @luciano is asking:

1. in Terminal, install anystyle with sudo gem install anystyle-cli
   
2. install the workflow (download here)
   
3. select text with one or more references (one per line) in any format
   
4. open the text action menu (default shortcut: cmd-ctr-\), select ref2bib, press enter
   
5. a formatted BibTeX entry should be in your clipboard
   
   

possible issues:

1. duplicated BibTeX keys

2. failed parsing due to newlines in the text (for example when selecting text in a PDF)

interesting idea! it is possible, but with a number of limitations:

1. it would be style specific (each style would be hard-coded), unless there are scripts to recognize a CSL style out there.

2. it might not work 100% of the time, especially if formatting is taken into account. For example your reference @luciano seems like it's from Journal of Evolutionary Biology, but the volume is not bolded? 

3. the BibTeX key creation algorithm would not check for duplicates (unless the workflow has access to the whole library).

In conclusion, one could use an existing library to recognize references from text (but I am not aware of any), or this can be done efficiently only if you expect to convert a few CSL styles that can be hard coded. 

hi @sots! I also use Libby and was planning to write a workflow using their API. A search URL would look like this below:

https://libbyapp.com/search/lcpl/search/scope-auto/query-{query}/page-1, or you can just click on this link to install it.

@Matteo Starc this feature is now in version 0.3. You can select in Configure Workflow whether to open tasks on todoist.com, or the Todoist app.

I'm pretty sure that this workflow just doesn't work on Alfred 5

I ported this to Python 3 and Alfred 5 last year and it works for me

here you go @Sinner Buns

Usage: 

- keyword bkout (or custom hotkey)

- enter month (format: yyyy-mm) to return the blackout period

- enter complete date (format yyyy-mm-dd) to check if that date is in the blackout period

- enter ↩️ to show with large font and copy to clipboard

let me know if you want to make changes!

I cant figure out how to upload

select the file in Finder, open the File Action menu (keyboard shortcut: Cmd+Opt+\) then choose 'Upload File'. If you don't see 'Upload File' in the menu, make sure the 'Workflow File Actions' checkbox below (in Features) is checked.

Is it possible to search just the new mails?

yes, you can show unread emails only (is:unread), or add a time filter (e.g. since:4, for emails from the last 4 days), or a combination of the 2 which can be saved as a predefined query.

actually it seems to work for me (copying on one computer/iPad etc, pasting on another from Alfred's clipboard), provided that the conditions listed here are met.

 Is there another way to get this to you? 

you can actually use an Alfred workflow! Upload File by @vitor and send me the link via DM

great, so it works with 2 events but not 9, my guess is that it gets stuck trying to parse one of the events. If you are willing to export that calendar and share it with me, I can help troubleshoot. 

this is with one calendar and one event within the pulled range? 

sorry about that, I think I tried a few events as you can see in the video but probably you have way more.

I could try to convert it to JXA which I hear is better than applescript, but I want to make sure that timing out is the problem. 

Could you try to create one calendar with one event? Just to check that it works for you.

Also, what is your MacOS version?

can you try to set that value (Days) to 1 or 2? It sounds it's too many to process
