Adding snippets via scripts or CLI tools

[jerry]

Hi, 

 

Earlier version of alfread had a sqllite based db for storing snippets. Is that still the case for Alfred 3?

 

Is there some direction on creating snippets from scripts or other CLI tools possibly bundled with alfred?

 

The workflow for cmd+s from clipboard view seems tedious for every day/hour workflows. https://www.alfredforum.com/topic/3119-create-new-snippet/ was very handy workflow.

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

Thanks

See https://github.com/derickfay/import-alfred-snippets

 

The script there requires some manual intervention but it should be easy to automate further if you need to,

Thank you dfay. That helps a lot. I was not quite sure if just generating those is the way to go. I noticed these json files when I moved from v2 to v3.
