[SOLVED] Bash commands for dock position not working on List Filter

[Bhishan]

I was trying to run dock repositioning commands in Alfred using List filter.

The link is given in github.

I was can see the list names, but when I click them none of them works.

 

How can we fix them ?

Help will be truly appreciated.

You’re making it more complicated than it needs to be.

The python Run Script is unnecessary, as is the duck Keyword. Just have the List Filter with the options spelled out and the bash Run Script.

@vitor    I deleted the redundant python script, but this still does not work.

 

The List Filter is giving problem, If I delete LIST FILTER the script works, but I want to keep it.

Is there any way I keep the list filter and when we click on "Hide" on list filter, it will hide the dock ?

 

 

The updated link is shared here.

This is how it should look:

@vitor   Thanks a lot. It works now.

 

But, can we change the bash script like this:

 

# Wanted version
[[ "${1}" == 'var_show' ]] && defaults write com.apple.Dock autohide -bool FALSE; killall Dock
[[ "${1}" == 'var_hide' ]] && defaults write com.apple.Dock autohide -bool TRUE; killall Dock

# Ugly but working version:
query=$1
if [ $query = "hide" ]; then
    
   defaults write com.apple.Dock autohide -bool TRUE; killall Dock            
fi
if [ $query = "show" ]; then
    
   defaults write com.apple.Dock autohide -bool FALSE; killall Dock            
fi

I don’t understand your question.

[Bhishan]

 

The last bash script in the workflow has following code:

query=$1
if [ $query = "hide" ]; then
    
   defaults write com.apple.Dock autohide -bool TRUE; killall Dock            
fi
if [ $query = "show" ]; then
    
   defaults write com.apple.Dock autohide -bool FALSE; killall Dock            
fi

 

Can we refactor this code so that it would look nicer, and still works on Alfred?

 

My attempt was this, but it did not work:

 

[[ "${1}" == 'var_show' ]] && defaults write com.apple.Dock autohide -bool FALSE; killall Dock
[[ "${1}" == 'var_hide' ]] && defaults write com.apple.Dock autohide -bool TRUE; killall Dock

The problem is the var_. Remove those and it’ll work.

Thanks, it works now. I was using var_show previously, forgot to remove var_.
