Search and add bookmarks to Raindrop.io

[Vero]

@toxman Can you check that you're on the latest version (Alfred 5.0 build 2057)?

[toxman]

@Vero - yes, 2057.

[vitor]

Welcome @toxman,

 

I’ve opened a pull request to fix this. At the bottom of the post there’s a link to the fixed Workflow.

[andreas.w]

The issues with opening links in Alfred 5 is now fixed in version 2.0.7, which you can get here.

 

This version also adds support for the browsers Arc and Sidekick, and fixes some encoding issues when saving bookmarks.

 

Thanks @vitor for the help with fixing the Alfred 5 issue!

Hey there,

Recently, when i remembered that i have this amazing Raindrop Alfred workflow on my computer, i wanted to have a new try with it, but i experienced some errors in the trials.

 

Below is what comes from the Alfred Workflow debugging console when i try to search with the term "design" as an example : would you guys have any clues on what is (not) going on please ?

Have a good one,
D.

PS: Config wise, in am under Mac OS 10.15.7 with Alfred 5 and the 2.0.7 version of the workflow

Hi @dyab

 

I answered this on GitHub here: https://github.com/westerlind/alfred-raindrop-search/issues/19

 

The quick summery is that I think it is possible that it might be possible to solve this issue by forcing a log out and then log in to Raindrop again the next time you use the workflow, which you can do by removing the raindrop-search object from Keychain Access.

Hi there! 

I love this workflow but I was wondering if there's a way to make it faster like caching it so the results will return quicker?

Thanks!

This workflow has been working for me for a very long time, but it suddenly stopped working correctly this morning.

 

I had to reauthenticate, which seemed to work fine.

 

If I do the ra command, it will still allow me to add new bookmarks.

 

However, when I type r, to search for a bookmark, it no longer allows a search, it just says 'Search Your Raindrop.io bookmarks', and gives me an option to open the app page in my web browser.

 

Is anyone else experiencing this?

 

I'm using Alfred 5 with a Powerpack.

 

I'm using 2.0.7, which is listed as the most up to date version of the workflow.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

having the same exact issue T_T

[heyJoeCampbell]

I am unable to get the workflow to connect to my Raindrop.io account.

 

Any suggestions? 

[andreas.w]

Hi @heyJoeCampbell, @kibbles and @jstncwlcx

 

I think that the workflow should have your issues fixed in the latest version, so check if it works better if you upgrade.

https://github.com/westerlind/alfred-raindrop-search/releases

[heyJoeCampbell]

I installed v2.0.9, but that did not seem to help.

 

There's still no connection to my actual account.

 

[andreas.w]

@heyJoeCampbell Are you getting any error message, or some other hint of what might be going on?

[heyJoeCampbell]

No error message.

 

Blank when I try to search for a bookmark.

 

When I add a bookmark it does not give the option to select a collection (likely do to it not properly connecting to Raindrop.io). I receive a notification as it would with a successful addition, but when I search on the Raindrop.io website, the bookmark is not available. 

[andreas.w]

Try to open Keychain Access and search for raindrop there, and remove the item that matches this workflow, and then open the workflow again and try to search or add a bookmark.

If you do that, you should get to re-authenticate, and hopefully thay will fix the problem.

[hoffjero]

Hi @andreas.w

 

It will probably become really tiresome but I seem to be having the same problem.

I have read through all the messages here, but I keep getting stuck.

 

I uninstalled the workflow

I deleted the keychain item (without using the search field, otherwise it does not delete the item)**

I reinstalled the workflow (2.0.9)

I authenticated the workflow

 

typed "r ch"

and instantly receive the error "interface conversion: interface {} is nil, not float64"

 

Hope you can help me out!

Is there anyway to configure this so that any search inquiry will also search inside of raindrop? I find it harder to switch away from my chrome bookmarks because it's a little difficult to remember the "ra" key to enter

No, there isn't (at least not that I'm aware of).

 

What is possible though, and how I have been using this workflow myself, is to bind it to any keyboard shortcut you want, so that you get directly to the Raindrop searching (or adding a bookmark) without having to go through standard Alfred first.

 

I have for example been using it like this:

Trigger Alfred: cmd+space

Trigger Alfred Raindrop Search: option+space

Trigger Alfred Raindrop Add Bookmark: cmd+option+space

 

But you can of course configure it to what you prefer.

 

If you go to this workflow in the Alfred settings, the object that you will need to double click to set the shortcuts are the two green ones with a white field in them, up in the top left corner. (There is a description of this below these objects too).

 

You can also change the "r" and "ra" keywords to anything you like (so that you can use something that you remember more easily) at about the same place in the configuration (you will see the green objects with "r" and "ra" as titles.
