Has there been any further news on this?

You are quite right - that is helpful

Why Alfred? Because it's faster than anything else to invoke (unless I go and make a custom shortcut to a separate app). Fair point though.

Hello Deanishe,

I would have to politely disagree as that is akin to asking why one would bother with Alfred at all given that you can do everything it offers the long way. This is why our office has physical calculators with the percentage function… to save time.

Hello mate,

Thanks for explaining the theory of it.

It might be simple to do using the other route but it takes 25% longer to complete a calc*. If you're doing 1000 calcs a day this adds up pretty quickly. I might be missing something but that's why I use calculators that are able to do x + y%. 

*for industries that aren't programming-related, I suppose.

Hi Andrew,

I've tried googling around for a layman explanation of GCMathParser's method of doing percentages but it doesn't seem very straightforward. =10%100 = 10 (ok this is easy!) =10%200 = 10 (hang on…) = 10%1000 = 10 (wtf?). I had come across the Percentage plugin and have been using that, which seems much more sensible in usage (to me anyway).

Cheers

Great. Cheers

Hello Peba,

Unfortunately, when I try that, Airmail no longer opens.

I think a better solution than renaming the app every time a new version comes is to remake or alter the existing script. Does anyone know where to find it?

Apologies for reviving such an old request, but I'd also love to see this added. 

Hi,

If I rename "Airmail 2" to "Airmail", the app no longer opens. 

Could someone point me to the location of the Applescript handling this so I can attempt to fix it by renaming the app in there? I couldn't see anything relevant in Application Support.

Cheers
