Many workflows unreliable after upgrading to High Sierra

[sushinger]

Hi, I have just upgraded my mac to 10.13 via fresh install, then installed Dropbox, waited to finish sync, installed Alfred and fetched all my workflows.

 

Now I realize that a few workflows are not working anymore Examples:

 

"Dial with iPhone" - When entering the API-key from Prowl, I receive a confirmation notification, but when hitting "dial 00493042018191" I will be prompted to re-add the API-key. After 3 times adding the key I gave up.

 

"linguee-alfred-workflow" - When I enter the keyword "de", the Alfred modal is showing that the workflow has started. But as soon as I start to enter the first digit of the query, that this workflow ought to work on, the standard workflows are displayed again (Search Chrome for "searchquery", Search Amazon for "searchquery" etc.)

 

"Top Processes" This is not working at all …

 

Anyboy here  who has similar experience or someone to help me?

 

Thank you and kind regards,
Sascha

When making a request or a bug report pertaining to specific workflows, please do so in their specific threads. Making a new thread, while it seems like it’ll give your problem visibility, will only fragment the discussion and make it less likely the authors and users of the workflows (the people that can actually help) will see it. Please read the Reporting Problems with Workflows topic, as it gives a nice overview on how to make a report with a better chance of being addressed.

 

I understand that in this case you may feel like this is a more general problem, since several Workflows broke, but it’s just as likely you’re using old versions of the Workflows or that they have some incompatibility with High Sierra. For example, the original Top Processes hasn’t even been officially updated to Alfred 3, and it has been broken for a while, as a consequence.

 

By instead asking in their respective threads, you may at least find an alternative.

I don’t use Dial with iPhone, but as an alternative to Top Processes you may try ProcessControl (disclaimer: I’m the author), and as an alternative to linguee-alfred-workflow you may try @deanishe’s Duden.de Search Workflow.

Not the same thing, I'm afraid: Linguee provides bilingual dictionaries; Duden is a monolingual German dictionary.

 

If it's German–English you're after @sushinger, I have a private Linguee workflow.

 

 Regarding the above workflow, @vitor, what do I do to make the colours of the flag icons less "dead"? They look awful, and I don't know what's wrong…

The colours do indeed look a bit washed out. They look as if they were converted between colour formats. A possible solution is to increase the contrast:

And they're in the workflow… Thanks!
