You also have the chance to spend some additional money if you want to support the development of a brilliant tool like Alfred even if you've bought a Mega Supporter license in the past. I happily did that, because Alfred is one of the greatest tools ever and I wouldn't miss it on any Mac I own.

props go to @developdude (https://github.com/psistorm/alfredapp/issues/22)

you just have to change http to https in leo.php (line 19) and then restart alfred. to find the file just open any of the scripts inside the workflow and then click on "open workflow folder". 

 

Perfect! Thanks a lot!

I accidentally deleted the workflow. Any mirror to download?

Thanks in advance.

Please check your PMs

@gammawert, a little workflow for you ;). -> Url It In Other Browsers (on Github)

 

Open an URL in Safari, stroke CMD + ALT + CTRL + U => the url opens in Firefox and Opera. Alfred 3 required.

 

Enjoy!

Thank you Phillcare!

Good evening everybody,

I am looking for directions (a) to find an already existing workflow (that I wasn't able to find) or (b) to allow me to create my own, in regards to the following "problem":

I use Safari as my primary and have Opera installed as my secondary browser. While viewing a website in Safari, I sometimes would like to be able to use an Alfred-keyword to open the same website in Opera and vice-versa.

Any directions?

Thank you!

I like good readability … maybe I am just getting old. 

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Another terminal style Alfred 3 theme.

Enjoy.

You should use a Run Script object instead of Terminal Command.

 

Alternatively you can do this without a workflow at all using a snippet with dynamic placeholders - see https://www.alfredapp.com/help/features/clipboard/dynamic-placeholders/

The snippet-solution is perfect. Thanks for pointing this out. Sometimes, things can be so simple

Hello everybody.

The problem:

I am dealing with a lot of files in my office-job. We have a naming convention, that every file starts with the recursive date. For loremipsum.txt created today, it would be 160615-loremipsum.txt, basically %y%m%d-filename

I would like to have a workflow that creates the date automagically.

The solution?

In theory I think I know how to do it

(1) Keyword

(2) Terminal Command, which executes 

date +%y%m%d

(3) Copy to Clipboard with the option set, to automatically paste to front most app.

I tried setting up a workflow like described above, but wasn't successful. It just opened up a terminal executing the command. But the terminal should not open, ideally the command is executed in the background and the output of the command should be pasted to the front most app, which my version of the workflow didn't do as well.

I am thankful for any advice on how to set up a workflow for this problem correctly.

splendid!

I know this is more of a cosmetic request, but still:

I would like to be able to set up Alfred to use random themes.

1. Defined by separately chosen themes I want to have included  in the "random selection"
2. Defined by timeframes I can choose (let's say every 1h a different theme or every 24h)

In addition I would like to be able to use any font in an Alfred theme that is installed on my machine, even though that makes sharing themes complicated.

Thx for an amazing piece of software which I am happy to support as a Mega Supporter

Not sure about Launchbar, but here is a rather lovely OS X Yosemite theme for Alfred:

Alfred will be getting the newer OS X Helvetica Neue font at some point in the not too distant future

good news Andrew. is it just the "Helvetica Neue" font or will Alfred allow users to use any font they have installed on the system (which of course will be a problem in sharing themes, due to non-standard fonts being installed on each specific system).

I gave it a try, but didn't spend much time on it.

I chose the dark theme of Launchbar, which looks like this:

The result in Alfred looks like this:

It comes close, but is far from perfect.

I would be happy, if somebody else gives it a try, because I am sure, somebody with more experience and skill can come closer to the original.

What font do they use in Launchbar?

Oh, I see you are not seeing *any* linebreak at all. Can you launch Terminal and type this (replacing with the path to your cap file):

cat YOUR_PATH

It will print out the contents of the file. If you see line breaks there, maybe it's a TextWrangler setting to do with what it consider linebreaks. See if there's a setting mentioning Unix/Windows linebreaks and play with that.

Found the solution, it was a wrong TextWrangler setting. Thank you for your help.

Since it's line breaks – which isn't the most obvious to read – we might be talking past each other Try this:

echo "{query}xx

yy" >> YOUR_PATH
echo "{query}"

Do you observe the line breaks in your text file and the xx and yy "markers" appearing separated by empty line(s)?

With exactly this code, I get the following result:

Is it maybe textwrangler acting funny?

Fantastic, very good workflow, but, may add date and time for each entry? thanks

I managed to do it with this code in the script:

echo "$(date): {query}" >> ~/Desktop/notes.txt
echo "{query}"

Since I don't need the time, I am using this code instead, which simply display the date:

echo "$(date +"%B %d"): {query}" >> ~/Desktop/notes.txt
echo "{query}"

Still, without a proper line break - which I am not capable of creating, due to missing knowledge - the txt file is getting quite messy to read, so far. 

echo "{query}" >> YOUR_PATH
echo "{query}"

 

to:

 

echo "{query}
" >> YOUR_PATH
echo "{query}"

Followed your advice, but didn't manage to get a line break this way. Do you have a different idea?

hi hboon,

thanks for sharing this. so far i was doing exactly the same, but was always using a txt-editor, which i had to open first and then i tended to use an empty file for each idea // note - ending up with a million of opened txt files containing one liners.

so this one comes in handy.

one question: would it be possible to end each entry with two line breaks automagically? this way notes wouldnt be appended to each other but be separated in blocks.

i've been trying a LOT of themes and always came back to the standard alfred theme.

this is the first time a theme convinces me despite of the size of the font that i changed.

thanks for sharing!

I added this to your desktop and download workflow, (also added force empty) and now it empties it too! 

 Racer, would you kindly provide your updated workflow with the deleting mechanism? Thank you very much

Thanks for creating and sharing it. This will be very useful.

I've been waiting for a "plain text"-lorem ipsum workflow. Great, thanks a lot.

Great! I've been waiting for it. Thank you for creating and sharing it.

I updated the above version to something with a darker highlight color. I stick to it since quite a while, so I thought I'd share.

Maybe useful for someone. Enjoy.

even though I don't understand all you said (I am not that tech-savvy) – it makes sense to me, to keep it as it is. and as I said before this is a great workflow, which I will integrate in my morning routine

thank you for creating it.
