That completely nullifies all the work I did on this workflow. Alfred should have a merge feature on workflow import.

The workflow is very simple to use: select the text you want to lookup and hit the control (^) key combo to do a search at the site most relevant. Duckduckgo ^/ (general search) Acronyms ^A (language) Bandcamp ^B (music) Discogs ^D (music) Etymology ^E (language) IMDb ^I (entertainment) Meme ^M (social) Slang ^S (language) Twitter Who ^T (social) Whois ^W (internet) no setup required unless you already have control key combos mapped to the trigger characters. Simply change the activation key or delete if not relevant. https://github.com/noivad/alfred_workflows/releases/tag/Alfred

After the upgrade breaking some of my “prized*” workflows, I’m looking forward to this change. Since I already know AppleScript, it’s easier for me to write & call an Applescript embedded in a workflow. Perhaps next update the workflow imported can parse for calls to “Alfred 3” and change it to the next rev? At least the solution is embedded in the example text, so it was a 5 second fix to go to each script and change from “tell application "Alfred 2"” to “tell application "Alfred 3".” So, ~ a minute or two to ferret out all the scripts. Thanks. *okay most were trivially easy using Applescript

Hi, I wanted to check out your workflow, but the link is broken. Is there an updated link to DL it?

I realize there are other Lyric Lookup workflows, but I wanted one that jumped directly to the lyrics page, assuming that song was tagged properly. So, I used LyricWiki’s format of artist:song name to at first make one where I type that in, but then decided to make an applescript to autofill that. It’s an early rev, but hitting ^L will lookup the lyrics to the currently playing song. If no song is playing, then it will lookup the lyrics for the selected song. shift-^L will also lookup lyrics for the selected song. It’s rough and very raw and could probably be done better, but assuming your artist:song name matches, you can look it up. I also pastes that format to the clipboard in case the song name doesn’t match exactly, then you can type “lyrics” and paste them in to edit it. It works pretty well so far, I only wish I could scrape the class “lyricbox” to copy the lyrics and open iTunes lyric tab to allow me to paste them in, but perhaps in another rev? It is available here: http://blog.noivad.net/2015/06/28/quick-lyric-lookup-for-alfred-powerpack-users/ Sorry for the roughness of this, and I am too new to this forum to figure out how to upload? (such a noob here) I’ll have to look into that later, but for now I’ll just share it the only way I know how vs. holding it up cause I’ve already added lyrics to about 100 tracks since I made this a few days ago in a lot less time than it usually takes!
