Using PDF files as script filter feedback result

[hpiwzqda]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to get filters out of the "Trickster" app via AppleScript. For unknown reasons filter icons in Trickster are PDF and not PNG files. When attempting to build script filter feedback from them I see broken image icons instead (blank square icon).

 

Not sure how to fix this.

 

Thank you.

We can’t tell you what's wrong with a script or workflow we’ve never seen.

 

Please upload your workflow somewhere and post a link to it.

Here is the workflow: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mbpgja97bsfvy37/Get latest files from Trickster.alfredworkflow?dl=0

 

Relevant script filter looks like this (see attached).

In above code the "fileicon" results in PDF file type icon being shown in Alfred results.

 

If I change "fileicon" into "filetype" or completely remove "type" attribute from "icon" node I'll get this (see the broken icon):

Somebody will know the reason. Have you tried contacting the Trickster developers? Maybe it’s a bug and you’re trying to build a workaround for something that will be fixed on a newer version.

I've contacted Trickster developers as well. Waiting for their answer.

 

But from Alfred workflow side:

 

1. what file types are allowed to be used as extensions in "Script Filter" feedback results?
2. is there a way to convert PDF into PNG on the fly?

It works for me if I remove the type attribute (which is the correct configuration):

sips. But PDF should work.

Thanks @deanishe, that is exactly what I needed.

 

It seems that there is no "type" attribute value that works the same as if "type" attribute of the <icon> tag isn't specified. I was using https://www.alfredapp.com/help/workflows/inputs/script-filter/xml/ for documentation.

That is correct. Omit type if you are specifying the path to an image file you wish to show. Use type="fileicon" to show the icon of the file you specify (e.g. an application's icon), and type="filetype" if you are specifying a UTI (e.g. public.folder).
