Dear Alfred users,

Here is another screenshots workflow for Alfred. I created it while I has learnt how to write an Alfred workflow. Maybe you find it useful.

Alfred 3 workflow for taking various screenshots.

Currently supported storages are the following.

• Local drive
• Clipboard
• Dropbox service with an ability to share a link to the uploaded screenshot.
• Transfer.sh service with an ability to share a link to the uploaded screenshot.
• 0x0.st service with an ability to share a link to the uploaded screenshot.
• File.io service with an ability to share a link to the uploaded screenshot. After uploaded image is downloaded, the file is completely deleted!!!

Installation

1. Install alfred-various-screenshots workflow.
2. All further updates are handled automatically.

Usage

In Alfred, type ss, which stands for ScreenShot and initiates a submenu which offers three options.

1. Screenshot - Area
2. Screenshot - Screen
3. Screenshot - Window

 

By default, the screenshot is stored in a file located at your ~/Desktop directory. This could be overridden, either by pressing the ⌘ key, ⌥ key, ⌃ key, ⇧ key, or Fn key.

• ⌘ - instructs the workflow to put a screenshot to the clipboard.
• ⌥ - shares a screenshot via Dropbox and stores a sharing link to the clipboard.
• ⌃ - shares a screenshot via Transfer.sh and stores a sharing link to the clipboard.
• ⇧ - shares a screenshot via File.io and stores a sharing link to the clipboard.
• Fn - shares a screenshot via 0x0.st and stores a sharing link to the clipboard.

Screenshot files will be named according to the following pattern screenshot_%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S.png

       Y       Year in full form (e.g., 2006).
       m       Numeric month, a number from 1 to 12.
       d       Day, a number from 1 to 31.
       H       Hour, a number from 0 to 23.
       M       Minutes, a number from 0 to 59.
       S       Seconds, a number from 0 to 59.

Default local screenshot folder ~/Desktop can be changed by the workflow DefaultLocalScreenshotFolder variable.

Dropbox

There is no need to install a Dropbox software to your MacOS. The only requirement is to log into the web Dropbox account and create an access token for the workflow.

---

Such generated access token shall be placed to the workflow DropboxAccessToken variable.

Hi, really like the workflow. How could I change it so it automatically adds a certain type of screenshot to my Apple Photo Library? Some screenshots need to go there (usually screenshots from online calls) while others need to go in a standard folder (other screenshots) on my hard drive. Could I adjust this workflow to accomplish this. And if yes (as a complete newbie) how?

TIA
