Calculate Anything

[biati]

Hi everyone. 

 

I don't know what's the best way to notify about updates to the users? do I simply put a comment here? do I update the main post? I just want people to know that the workflow is maintained in case they want to use it.

 

Anyway the workflow was rewritten, added cryptocurrency support, there was 3 or 4 updates with bug fixes and improvements since the last time I published a comment here in the forum.

Both is best. Most people looking for workflows won't bother reading the whole thread.

I might need some help. I am Lima, Peru that's GMT -5 but the workflow does not read that correctly. I tried to set base timezone but time is still wrong. I tried with UTC with P -05:00 and all the options there are :((

Hi @tosbsas you need to set the timezone like America/Lima

Please try it and let me know if it works-

One of the best workflows on Alfred. This should be the first one to be download. Superb job!

[biati]

Thank you @az566 I'm glad you like it. Hope more people get to know about this workflow.

Hi there,

 

Unfortunately I can't find my local currency among the 168. My currency is UAH (ukrainiah hryvnia). How can I add it?

 

Thanks,

Pavlo

@biati When I first installed your (awesome) workflow, I could do "time +30days" and it showed me the date 30 days from now. After editing a few settings (eg. timezone, measurement, base currency), it no longer shows me the date, just how long 30 days is in weeks and the timestamp. I've tried formatting it in different ways with the same outcome as well, time now + 30days, etc. 

 

I've also deleted and reinstalled the workflow, but it keeps the settings. Is there a way to reset the workflow to original settings?

Updated 2.0.3

 

- New: Improved currency conversion speed.
- New: You can use quick calculations for VAT.

- Changed: Vat action modifiers to be the same as currency, etc.
- Fixed: months to year calculation
- Fixed: updater error causing the workflow to not work

 

Download the latest release from https://github.com/biati-digital/alfred-calculate-anything/releases or open Alfred and type calculate update

Hi,

 

I had the same issue and the update fixed it for me.

 

However, the currency calculation does not work as expected on my end.

I added EUR, USD, AUD and CHF as base currencies, but I see some strange behaviour.

 

Typing "100 eur" (or "100eur" or "100 euro" or "100€") does not bring up the base currencies.

 

 

 

Typing "100 usd" brings up the base currencies, including USD which then shows 1,100.00USD, which doesn't seem right.

 

 

 

Using "100€ to $" doesn't seem to work at all for me.

 

I hope that is helpful.

Hi, unfortunately that does not help me at all to know what's happening. If you have a Github account you can check the issues template here https://github.com/biati-digital/alfred-calculate-anything/issues/new?assignees=&labels=&template=bug_report.md so you can respond some questions and provide the required information so i can take a look.

That's a really good issue template. Mind if I steal it for my workflows?

 

There's also the thread stickied at the top of this forum:

Hi @deanishe sure, you're welcome to use it for your workflows.

@biatiThis is a killer workflow. Thank you for building this. I can eliminate multiple workflows because of this. 

 

Is there an easy way to exchange the string "VAT" for "HST"? In Canada, we use HST instead.

 

Thanks for the great workflow. Is there a way to support you or buy you a beer?

Hi @Kevllar I'm glad you like this workflow. For now there's no way to change that string, I'll try to find the best way to allow users to configure this 😀

 

Again, I'm really glad this workflow is useful, you can donate any amount you want to my PayPal account.

Hi,

 

This workflow looks super interesting to me but I'm running into the same issue as @Iron: although I see "UAH" when I type the "list available currencies" command, it doesn't seem to work for conversion. When I type 25 USD to RUB, for example, it works, but 25 USD to UAH doesn't. Could someone look into this?

 

Cheers

Has Big Sur broken this workflow? I just recently installed this workflow and cannot get some of the configuration functions to work. Correction: I can't get the add date format function to work still after running Fixum. Love the workflow, by the way, thanks very much for it!

Welcome @postnumbers. When asking for help, please be specific. If you say some configuration functions don’t work, which? And which do work? Help the developer help you. The more information you provide, the likelier anyone will be able (and willing) to help.

[az566]

Love this workflow!

 

It has recently stopped working however. When I use the currency conversion it returns 0.00 rather than the real result.

 

I've run Fixum but that didn't fix the issue.

Yeah having the same issue. 

[thelittlemugatu]

Yes, same here! It just stopped calculating any current conversions. I hope it can be fixed - I use this tool every day!

[deanishe]

Guys: Screenshots of the workflow not working aren't helpful. Please check Alfred's debugger to see if there is a real error message.
