Clean Duplicate AppleScript Dictionaries

[rice.shawn]

In another thread (http://www.alfredforum.com/topic/792-alfred-applescript-dictionary-installed-multiple-times/), a solution was posted for a problem in which AppleScript dictionaries would have multiple entries. These duplicates don't have any effect on your system, and removing them doesn't either.

 

Here you go: https://github.com/shawnrice/alfred2-workflow-remove-dup-applescript-dicts/raw/master/Clean%20AS%20Dictionaries.alfredworkflow

 

There's just one command: "clean dict"

(Now with Alleyoop support).

This is a great idea, I'm looking for that since months!

 

However, duplicates are still here...

The command that I used was here:

 

/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user &

 

Try that in terminal, and see if it works for you. (http://www.alfredforum.com/topic/792-alfred-applescript-dictionary-installed-multiple-times/)

 

I'm using 10.8.2, so the command might be different between different different versions os OS X.

Running the command from the Terminal has the expected effect. On 10.8.3.

 

Is the language of the script usr/bin/php right?

[rice.shawn]

The script included is in php, but it just has a shell_exec() call with the command inside of it. I just pushed a new version of the workflow that changed the escaping, which might make it work better for people. Also, I added alleyoop update functionality to it. So, it can now be self-updating (although I don't think this will ever need an update).

 

I can't really test it again because I need to wait until some program updates itself again in order to get that duplicate entry to test. Maybe when we get the next Alfred2 update I'll test it again.
