    If you look in Console.app, do you seen any errors from Alfred? For example, something about 'Invalid XML'? Without actually seeing and running your code on my machine, it's difficult to isolate your issue

    It may be easier to debug your code if you post the workflow. Could you do that?

    I'm not sure how much information Alfred will give, but I think the error's logged are shown exactly as given by the interpreter in question. I ran a few quick tests. It looks like the error output shown in the image is complete. Bash (first error) would return a simple line number with a small piece of code, as would PHP (the second error). I imagine the workflow in the screenshot is using quick and dirty syntax errors as tests.

    Have you tried running your Python script from the Terminal? Does it throw errors when you input this 60-70 character query? For what it's worth, I just ran a workflow with a 1003 character input. Clearly, Alfred isn't throttling the query's length

    @Alfredapp posted some screenshots of the upcoming workflow debugging interface. Personally, I can hardly wait for the v2.2 pre-release

    Vero's suggestion is the most elegant if you want to control iTunes. If you want to control the system volume, try my fork of @victorquinn's workflow. It uses a 'mute' keyword connected to the relevant code in the original AppleScript. I don't know of any general purpose way to do this. Each workflow is different, and there are several ways to process arguments.

    Ah, good point. I honestly didn't know there was much difference between an ejected volume and an unmounted volume

    I took another stab at this deletion issue. Since David said the problem was related to the workflows.php class, I ported his code to Python (and added a few features). Download The workflow should 'just work'. If it doesn't let me know Changes: 'Remove from Favorites' file action added More flexible filtering using 'fuzzy' search 'Reveal in Finder' action Automatic removal of items that no longer exist on your system Automatic removal of duplicate items New icons

    This is definitely possible. I can't make a workflow this second, but I found an article on OS X Daily that may help other developers.

    Update (v2.0.0): Much faster Added support for UIColor and NSColor Removed Alleyoop support in favor of Packal Download from Packal

    No problem

    Type an '=' after your formula. For example, '8+89=' will put '97' into the search box.

    Update: Changed theme name to 'Unibody' Added a light version

    One of my main concerns is related to Alfred's quality. Alfred is made exclusively for OS X, and it shows. Everything is thought through, consistent, and stable. Not coincidentally, nearly all of my favorite, most pleasurable apps work only on Apple products (Alfred, Safari, Pixelmator, Textmate, etc.) If Alfred were ported to Windows, quality would undoubtedly be lost (on both platforms). Examples: iTunes, Firefox, Chrome, Wunderlist, Evernote, etc. While these apps are exceptional and very useful, they do not have the polish and pleasure of an OS X-only application. There will always be a market for quick launchers on any platform. In my opinion, it would be better for another developer to make a quick launch app exclusively for Windows. That way, the program could be completely integrated into the Windows world. Everybody wins, and no quality is lost in trying to be everything to everybody. Cheers

    My Colors workflow does something like this; type the color you want to see, open it in the Color Panel, and adjust it as you see fit. I've been thinking about adding more features to Colors. For example, shades, saturations, hues, complements, triads, tetrads, analogic, accented analogic, etc. (based on the online Color Scheme Designer). If you have a suggestion for Colors, or if you like the idea above, you can make it known on the Colors v2.0 Beta page.

    Alfred learns which keywords you frequently use for specific items. Say you type 'goo', then select your Google Voice app. The next time you type 'goo', Alfred will put that app above anything that has fewer hits. As you use Alfred, he will learn what apps you use most with which keywords.

    I cannot reproduce this bug. Are there any other settings or steps that could be affecting this? Alfred 2 v2.1.1 (227) on Mac OS X 10.9.1 (13B42)
  18. Tyler Eich
    Sounds like you're talking about the file buffer: More info on the Alfred support website

    I put your first command (alfred_script) in a 'Run NSAppleScript' block. Download

    I need help from someone with a knowledge of Objective-C, namely, XIB files I created a settings dialog for Colors, but I don't know how to use it in my implementation file. I need this interface to: Open the settings dialog when the binary receives 'preferences' as the argv Connect the checkboxes in said dialog to a plist file, able to be read by the colors binary If you want to take a stab, please fork the objective-c branch on my Github repo. Any help is, as always, greatly appreciated

    I agree that if Alfred waited until all images are received, this feature would be pointless. It's not that hard to download your own icons. That said, the whole point of this feature is speed. Alfred would show the results before the images load, perhaps showing a 'placeholder' image (either static or specified by the workflow XML) in its place until that individual icon is retrieved.
  23. Tyler Eich
    What are your settings here: I've never experienced anything like this, regardless of the 'Keyword Latching' setting. I just set up a new keyword 'c'. After two times finding it in the results and selecting it, Alfred has aptly put it in second place (right under my other, more frequently used 'c' keyword from my Colors workflow).

    If you do any bug reporting, you may know what a pain it is to get version information for the application in question. Usually, it means going to the 'About' menu and copying version information from there. This workflow lets you copy and paste version information with a few keystrokes. The keyword is 'version'. Download • Packal (Beta) Example outputs: Alfred 2 v2.1.1 (227) on Mac OS X 10.9.1 (13B42) Safari v7.0.1 (9537.73.11) Mac OS X 10.9.1 (13B42) You can get version information for: The current application Any application on your disk Your operating system There are also several choices when retrieving the information: When dealing with application or OS info: Command: Copy and paste immediately When dealing with application info: Option: Copy with OS information Control: Copy with OS information and paste immediately Here's what it looks like: Enjoy

    Activating that option should solve your issue.
