vdesabou Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 That's awesome, I will use it very often! However, it is not working on my side. Trying to execute the python script on command line, I get: python main.py "test" Traceback (most recent call last): File "main.py", line 31, in <module> keyword = ",".join([o['config']['keyword'] for o in plist['objects'] if 'alfred.workflow.input' in o['type'] ]) KeyError: 'keyword' Any idea how to fix this?

vdesabou Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Thanks it is working fine now! This workflow is awesome ! It would be great to have also the hotkey, but I don't know if this is easy to get from the plist. Cheers! Link to comment

It would be great to have also the hotkey, but I don't know if this is easy to get from the plist. Cheers! You can get hot key information from plist variable in main.py For example, Cntl-Command-E is represented as '{'type': 'alfred.workflow.trigger.hotkey', 'config': {'leftcursor': False, 'argument': 0, 'hotkey': 14, 'action': 0, 'hotstring': 'E', 'hotmod': 1310720, 'modsmode': 0}', but I don't know the whole information how to interpret.

Carlos-Sz Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 It is very useful! Great workflow. Link to comment
ramiro.araujo Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Great!! I had this kind of extension planned to do, but my idea is to build an extension to browse other installed extensions, see their keywords and basic description, and launch them on enter (re-open Alfred with the keyword typed in). What do you think? Link to comment
Benzi Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 This is great! especially the option to open the workflow folder directly. If you path.join the workflow folder and "icon.png" and set that as the icon element value in the XML, you can see the icons for each workflow... Nice work! Link to comment

nickvitale Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) Oh thank god! 3 nights in a row I was going to put in a request for this and 3 times I hit the backspace key and lost my text, thank you so much! So valuable!! I just needed a way to view all my installed workflows without opening the Alfred Preferences pane. I'm a workflow addict. I'm not a developer and this tool has HUGE potential in my opinion. I'm sure you're well booked with other requests but it'd be great if there could be non-developer features added to it.. For instance, generating a link to share the creators URL The ability to open Alfred Preferences focused on that workflows, even if it just populates the search box for you It's awesome you got the keywords in, can you do the shortcut keys as well? I could probably go on and on... Thank you again, this is really so great! Thank you thank you! ### EDIT ### I was so excited I didn't even read the other posts. Now I see you can actually launch the workflow with the shift modifier. I don't know what to say. Thank you again, just awesome. Edited March 28, 2013 by nick Domenic 1 Link to comment
CarlosNZ Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Hmmm, this could be very useful, but for me it's getting stuck on "loading..." Nothing happens after that. jmjeong 1 Link to comment

I hope version 5 will solve this problem. This happens when 'info.plist' does not exist. Edited March 29, 2013 by jmjeong Link to comment
CarlosNZ Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 I hope version 5 will solve this problem. This happens when 'info.plist' does not exist. Still a no go I'm afraid. I do have some workflows in my list disabled - any chance that might have something to do with it? jmjeong 1 Link to comment
jmjeong Posted March 29, 2013 Author Share Posted March 29, 2013 could you post the generated message by 'python main.py' in extension directory? Link to comment
CarlosNZ Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 (edited) Okay, when I run that from the command line, I get this: Traceback (most recent call last): File "main.py", line 29, in <module> plist = plistlib.readPlist(os.path.join(dirname, d, 'info.plist')) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/plistlib.py", line 78, in readPlist rootObject = p.parse(pathOrFile) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/plistlib.py", line 406, in parse parser.ParseFile(fileobj) xml.parsers.expat.ExpatError: no element found: line 1, column 0 Hope that's helpful.

FiXER Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Hi, it's not working for me. I edited the export.json file to this: { "workflow-export" : {"directory" : "~/Desktop", "enable": true}, "source-export": {"directory" : "~/Desktop", "enable": false} } Export always fail and it also created folder src in ~/Downloads. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks. Link to comment

Am I doing something wrong? Thanks. I tried it in Battery.alfredworkflow, but I can't find any problem about export function. Did you tried the new version? You can the latest version from https://github.com/jmjeong/alfred-extension/tree/master/managealfredextension FYI, export.json file should be located in extension directory where you want to export such as "/user.workflow.DD0D36FD-8588-4FFE-8FC6-XXXXXXX".

Domenic Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 (edited) If i try to open a workflow in the terminal it says the folder doesn´t exist: DS-iMac:~ DS$ open -a Terminal /Volumes/Macintosh HD 2/Dropbox/Alfred.alfredpreferences/workflows/user.workflow.CC24CD39-4B60-4456-98E0-6B364329EEB0 The files /Volumes/Macintosh, /Users/DS/HD, and /Users/DS/2/Dropbox/Alfred.alfredpreferences/workflows/user.workflow.CC24CD39-4B60-4456-98E0-6B364329EEB0 do not exist. DS-iMac:~ DS$ I think that´s because of the spaces. If I paste the path like this: cd /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD\ 2/Dropbox/Alfred.alfredpreferences/workflows/user.workflow.CC24CD39-4B60-4456-98E0-6B364329EEB0 It works. Could you possibly change this in your workflow? Would be great!I like this workflow very much! Domenic edit: [...] I'm not a developer and this tool has HUGE potential in my opinion. The ability to open Alfred Preferences focused on that workflows, [...] That would be awesome! offtopic: Is it possible to edit a post and quote someone inside that edit?(with name, date, time) Edited April 1, 2013 by Domenic Link to comment
