Awesome! Glad to see other options for standardizing workflows. I like the rescue feedback idea—mind if I take a look at how you did it and see if it can be Pythoned?

Hey,

 

I’m working on a very simple workflow using the alfred2-ruby-template, but I haven’t figured out how to set custom icons for the items in the result list. I have the icons available in .png and .icns format in the workflow folder. This is an example of one of the items:

fb.add_item({
    :uid      => "lessons"               ,
    :title    => "#{wkresult.fetch("lessons_available")} lessons available"          ,
    :subtitle => "Action this to go to the lessons"        ,
    :arg      => URI.escape("https://www.wanikani.com/lesson"),
    :valid    => "yes"                  ,
  })

How do I add a custom icon here? Thanks.
