Workflow dealing with files in folders with spaces in the name
shadylane replied to shadylane's topic in Discussion & Help
Wow. I had no idea... this is so much cleaner and better!!!! Why did I think I needed to use NSAppleScript? Was that maybe the case back in the beginning, when workflows got introduced initially (with Alfred 2 I think)? I never even questioned that, I always assumed the correct way to deal with "stuff" coming from the first node was to use NSAppleScript... God damn it. Now I want to immediately start to clean up all my workflows ;D One last question if I may (sorry to keep you occupied) : what would be a "very good reason" to use NSAppleScript? -

Hmmm, this actually does make sense. Now I look at all my cobbled-together workflows and wonder how much easier and more efficiently I could have achieved these things not always relying on Applescript... I always use the selection-hotkey and then text item delimiters to spit up the filepaths - but that does look incredibly complicated now in comparison... Oh well. Lots to learn Thanks again! -

@vitor Thank you, seriously, I really appreciate it that you are taking the time to (try to) explain this stuff to the least logical thinker you will ever meet. I had to turn the music off in the background to use all my brain power to read your answer I'll admit that bash scripts are pretty much gibberish to me, I lack the basic understanding... I had no idea what the difference between "input as {query}" and "input as argv" is - or the difference between single and double quotes - I just throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks, basically. You did clear up some things for me though -

I'll be damned... THANK YOU!!!! Seriously, stuff like that is driving me insane - I do my best to find answers to problems like these myself online, but it's like pulling teeth for me. Next time I visit Essen I'll buy you an actual beer Cheers from Austria and thanks again, Anna -
Hi everybody! OK, I am desperate - I've spent the last two days trying to cobble together a tagging workflow and I am totally stuck... I would be extremely thankful if some of you Alfred-specialists around here could take a look at my issue. I kind of know my way around Applescript but everything else is a total mystery to me. So here it is: The Workflow uses "tag" (https://github.com/jdberry/tag/ - installed via homebrew, if that matters) to assign my custom tags to files selected in Finder. The workflow should work with a hotkey - be it via a "selecti

A little late to the party, but: THANK YOU, this is exactly what I have been looking for :)

Clipboard viewer stuck on screen after wake from sleep
shadylane replied to shadylane's topic in Discussion & Help
Sooo, after rebuilding the clipboard database, I had no problems for two days - but today the issue was back... I just wanted to report my "progress" ;D I don't know if my internal SSD could be responsible - I haven't noticed anything drive-related being wonky and it's the original drive that came with the MacBook Pro. Whatever the case may be, it's not a big deal - I can always just quit and relaunch Alfred via the menu bar item and get on with my life I will definitely keep an eye on the clipboard issue, but I'm kind of hoping it will just go away with a future update to e- 5 replies

shadylane replied to shadylane's topic in Discussion & Help
Hi Andrew, thanks so much for your reply - I'm sorry it took me so long to get back to you, I must have missed the notification email. The clipboard issue went away and came back since my initial post, there's really no logic to it, it seems. I have cleared the history just now - I must admit that I never even noticed the "Clear Now" button... that might be it, I'm using the clipboard history A LOT (for big stuff as well, like graphics from Illustrator & InDesign) and have never cleared it before... I will let you know how it goes Thanks again & cheers, Anna- 5 replies

Hi guys! I keep seeing a weird little issue with Alfred 3.5.1 and I just wanted to ask if you've heard about it before: Oftentimes when I wake my MacBook Pro from sleep in the morning, Alfred's clipboard viewer will be stuck on the screen, with Alfred not responding to shortcuts or anything like that - I can move down the clipboard list (so the viewer is at least responding to the arrow keys), but I cannot do anything else with Alfred and I cannot make the clipboard viewer go away, no matter what I do. It stays on top of everything else and just sits there, the only way to get- 5 replies

DJ Pedro - iTunes playlist based on Last.fm similar artists
shadylane replied to smirky's topic in Share your Workflows
Thank you for your reply, smirky I really appreciate that you're open to the idea! Also, it's great to hear that you've got an update coming (I have to say though that DJ Pedro is doing a flawless job already!). Thanks for your continued work on this, DJ Pedro has totally replaced iTunes Genius for me Cheers, Anna -

DJ Pedro - iTunes playlist based on Last.fm similar artists
shadylane replied to smirky's topic in Share your Workflows
Hi smirky! I love your workflow and I use it all the time - thank you for that I have one question though: would it be possible for DJ Pedro to create a playlist for Spotify? I'm asking because the best part about Last.fm (for me) is discovery - right now DJ Pedro can only use stuff I already own and know to create a playlist. If Pedro could make a playlist based on the massive catalogue of Spotify, that would be truly awesome. I would be perfectly happy if Pedro could just spit out a plain text list (artistname - trackname), then I could go to Ivy and convert that list into a S -
Hi Enhorn, I would love to get this working with Spotify as well - but I cannot find the line you mentioned anywhere in the workflow folder. What I have (in alfredfm_helper.rb) is this: def itunes_running? %x{osascript -e 'get running of application id "com.apple.itunes"'}.chomp == 'true' end I suppose the direct-download-version of the workflow (on the first page) doesn't have the swinsian changes yet. Could you maybe share your version of the workflow (with the changes applied)? @Filipe, or maybe you could update the direct download, that would be awesome

Love the workflow, thank you!
