funkymonkey Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Very nice thanks! Looks good too! xilopaint 1 Link to comment
imurban Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Terrific! Any plans to make results stay visible in Alfred even after a to-do has been acted upon by modifier key (i.e. cancelled or deleted)? Would be wonderful not to have to invoke Alfred each time an action is taken. Thank you for the workflow as it stands now, though! Link to comment

As Alfred is now called back after the actions I have removed the notification functionality. Edited September 28, 2017 by xilopaint Link to comment
xilopaint Posted September 29, 2017 Author Share Posted September 29, 2017 Update (v1.1.1) Fixed a bug in Add To-do action that added new to-dos at the end of the list instead of the beginning. Link to comment
xilopaint Posted September 30, 2017 Author Share Posted September 30, 2017 Update (v1.1.2) Fixed a bug in which a to-do marked as completed or canceled was still displayed in its original list after Alfred was called back. Link to comment
xilopaint Posted October 4, 2017 Author Share Posted October 4, 2017 Update (v1.2) Added support for areas. Link to comment
xilopaint Posted October 10, 2017 Author Share Posted October 10, 2017 (edited) Update (v1.3) This update changes how deadlines are displayed in subtitles for consistency with Things; Simplified connections in Alfred editor for better maintenance.

imurban Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 (edited) These have all been great enhancements. I noticed this workflow also deprecates gracefully when running Things 2 instead of Things 3. Thank you very much! Edited October 12, 2017 by imurban Link to comment

imurban Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Probably just my bad use of tech terminology! I just meant to say that when I am only running Things 2 (for organizing my job workload), your workflow works with it, indicating the old foci ("Next", "Scheduled") with the Areas icon. When run both versions of Things simultaneously, the workflow conveniently interacts only with Things 3 (no conflicts). I'm attaching an image here to demonstrate. Anyway, it's a helpful bonus.

xilopaint Posted October 12, 2017 Author Share Posted October 12, 2017 (edited) Oh, I didn't know the workflow worked with Things 2. In this case I might consider to set the icons of Anytime and Upcoming lists for Next and Scheduled. What do you think about this idea? Besides that, is there any workflow feature not working with Things 2? Edited October 13, 2017 by xilopaint Link to comment
xilopaint Posted November 2, 2017 Author Share Posted November 2, 2017 Update (v1.3.1) Added new areas icon for consistency with Things app. Fixed a bug that could cause conflicts in some actions when multiple to dos in different lists had the same title. Link to comment
xilopaint Posted November 8, 2017 Author Share Posted November 8, 2017 Update (v1.4) Added support for non-English languages. Link to comment
xilopaint Posted November 9, 2017 Author Share Posted November 9, 2017 (edited) Update (v1.4.1) Fixed a bug that caused the wrong list was displayed in Things UI when a to do was actioned in Alfred. Minor code improvements. Edited November 9, 2017 by xilopaint Link to comment

I'm still heavily using both versions of Things, so this workflow has been a real help. The new Areas icons look sharp, too. Thanks for all your work on this. Link to comment

I get that this is dependent on q_workflow and oneupdater, I am just not sure what to do with that. Anyways, as you can see I don't know what I am doing. Is there anyone out there that would be willing to help people like me with instructions on how to make this happen? I would greatly appreciate it. If the keyword todo is not working for you, please paste here what you get in the debug console after typing it. Link to comment

I would welcome any advice Regards Anteric Welcome to Alfred community. You can learn how to operate the workflow by holding the action modifiers keys and reading the item subtitles. In order to create a to-do just select the target list and use ⌥ + ↵. Edited March 22, 2018 by xilopaint Link to comment
