workflow format

[notverypc]

I've found a workflow for LDAP lookups (https://github.com/frdmn/alfred-ldap) but I need to edit the script to see if it will work with our ldap.

 

After downloading the "raw" source, I can't workout how to turn it into a .alfredworkflow file.

Any pointers would be gratefully received

Hi @notverypc There's a link to the .alfredworkflow file at the bottom of the page:

https://github.com/frdmn/alfred-ldap/releases/download/0.1.6/alfred-ldap.alfredworkflow

 

Once you've installed the workflow, you'll be able to edit it within Alfred's Workflows prefs.

 

Cheers,

Hi @Vero

Thanks for the reply but the script that I need to edit is the ldap.sh one. 

Alfred's Workflow pref only show the Query, unless I've missed something?

Right click on the Workflow’s name on the list to the left and chose “Open in Finder”.

 

To expand a bit on the format, an .alfredworkflow is a renamed .zip file. When you add it to Alfred, it unpacks it in your Workflows directory and reads the unpacked source from there.

@notverypc @vitor You can also click on the icon (aka the Shreddies square) next to the Cancel/Save buttons to open the workflow's folder, where you'll find scripts, icons, and other files that are part of the workflow.

I always forget about that option!

@vitor and @vero

Thanks for your help with this. 

I was able to edit the script ? but unfortunatly that didn't fix the issue I was having the workflow.

Now that you mention it, it does look a wee bit like a Shreddie (Shreddy?)

There is a really awesome workflow you can use for this called WorkflowDirectory.

 

It can let you search all workflows you have on your system and open them in your preferred editor, go inside them to see contents (→  arrow). Or if you develop workflows I added an action to export the workflow to the Desktop for making new releases.

 

Here is my modified workflow with the export action.

 

Although the export function by @vitor fails when I try to export workflows that don't have the user.workflow.0EK.. name. Not sure how to fix it.

 

Here is how it looks when searching:

By removing the check that aborts when Workflow directories to not follow that pattern. It has been removed from the script I published in the forum, so you should use that:
