hi @Fanghao a base unit for what? please provide more info, examples, etc.

A base measurement unit for metric(or UK/US). For example, if i set metric as my base measurement unit, when I input 10inch it automatically converted to 25.4cm.

And here is a screenshot of measurement units setting in MacOS system preferences. Thanks if you add this option in the next version.

hi @Fanghao For now it's not planned, you are welcome to open a feature request in the Github repo to see if other users would like this to be implemented.

I'm getting an error with this workflow even when not using it. When I just launch Alfred I got an error that this workflow is broken. I've updated to the latest Monterrey version.

 

Attached is the screenshot I get.

@az566 That has been addressed quite a few times in the thread, already. It’s also covered in the top post, fairly near the top. In sum, you need to install PHP via Homebrew. The linked posts go into detail.

Hi,

 

I cannot get the time command to function properly. 

The debugging tool gives me multiple errors in the line of:

Any idea what the problem may be?

Running OSX Monterey, latest version of alfred and latest version of php from the brew command.

Thank you.

When debugging, never say “latest” but always the exact version. With “latest” we don’t know if you mean the latest beta or stable version, nor do we know if you’re really on the newest version. You may think you’re up to date but be mistaken, or might be a version behind because the auto-update hasn’t kicked yet, or we may be on what we think is the latest version but isn’t, or a multitude of other reasons. “Latest” also makes it difficult for people who face the same issue later on and find the conversation, as they’ll have no idea if their version matches the one in the report.

Thank you for your advice. Problem as quoted. Furthermore

I am on:

Alfred 4.6.1; Build 1274

MBP M1 PRO, OSX 12.1 Monterey

Me too.

Monterey 12.1 , M1 Mac

PHP 8.1.1

Same for me. Exactly the same setup and versions. There's A LOT of deprecation messages in the debug log, but I also found this error:

[19:57:58.026] ERROR: Calculate Anything[Script Filter] JSON error: JSON text did not start with array or object and option to allow fragments not set. around line 1, column 0. in JSON:

Ok, so I was able to fix the problem with time by downgrading to PHP 7.4. If someone has a better solution, please share, but this is what I needed to do:

Uninstall PHP 8

brew uninstall php

 

Install PHP 7.4

brew install php@7.4

 

Now, this is where it gets fun. Alfred does not support custom paths for script languages, so it won't find your PHP installation because Homebrew installs PHP 7.4 to a different folder. You need to:

 

Go to the Homebrew opt folder

cd /opt/homebrew/opt

 

Create a symlink for the PHP installation folder

ln -s ../Cellar/php/7.4.27 php

 

Go to the Homebrew bin folder

cd /opt/homebrew/bin

 

Create a symlink for the PHP binary

ln -s ../Cellar/php/7.4.27/bin/php php

 

Now Alfred should be able to find your PHP 7 installation and you should be able to use time.

Time function is not working for me as well. I have php 8. Will be there any update from developer, or should i downgrade php version ? Thanks 😶

[vitor]

@mnmkng You just need:

brew uninstall php
brew install php@7.4
brew link php@7.4

[ryan1233]

do I need a power pack to use this ?

[vitor]

Welcome @ryan1233,

 

Yes, all Workflows require the PowerPack, as do features like the Clipboard History and Snippets.

[biati]

It's been a few months since the last time I posted here. There has been a few updates since then (I think I never posted those updates here) but today we released an update and just wanted you to know that the workflow is still maintained.

 

Version 3.4.0

• New: You can now provide a workflow variable to define the duration of the currencies cache
• New: Support for more cryptocurrencies, up to 5,000
• New: You can also define custom cryptocurrencies
• Updated: Fixer.io API now uses API Layer, the workflow will validate your API key to avoid errors. Old API keys will work without problems.
• Improved: Now the workflow shows a message when it's updating currency and cryptocurrencies rates
• Improved: Replaced file_get_contents with curl for some operations
• Fixed: datastorage_force_binary was not working as expected
• Fixed: No output in cryptocurrencies when "from" and "to" were the same
• Fixed: Error on updater not working correctly with some PHP versions

 

If you find a bug please create an issue on the Github repository.

 

As always you can download the update from https://github.com/biati-digital/alfred-calculate-anything/releases

@biatithanks for the update man. i've found some bugs (i hope it's just me). 
i can't convert money currency for some symbol(i've try SGD & GBP). ex 76SGD, it will show me an error

The crypto currency is not available, check the docs.

 

But for somereason, it works pretty well for USD and other symbols. Any fix?

Hi @afridho thank's for letting me know, I'll take a look at it this weekend.

[afridho]

@biatiok. let me know if it's just me have this bug.
Great workflow btw! *must have

[alfredpanda]

I've noticed the same all of a sudden - it thinks GBP is cryptocurrency.

 

 

[biati]

@afridho @alfredpanda Version 3.5.0 is out and should fix that problem. As always, you can find the code and the latest version here https://github.com/biati-digital/alfred-calculate-anything/releases

Thank you, it works well now. 💯

[Briscoe]

Thanks for this workflow - but how do you properly convert USD to Ethereum?

 

I've set my base currency as USD and inputted my Coinmarket API. 

 

I've tried the below and nothing works:

• 1000 dollars in eth
• 1000 usd in eth
• 1000 dollars in ethereum
• 1000 dollars to eth

Really interesting and useful.

 

But I've noticed some cooking and everyday small life US-American units aren't supported:

 

For example, teaspoons, tablespoons, cups... and fractions: 1/8 inch, 1/16 tablespoon

 

It'd be nice to have those.

 

Would really love to be able to convert to these US volume measurements.
