Open As Project in Chocolat workflow and a couple of questions

[franzheidl]

Just reworked a simple Alfred v1 extension of mine to a workflow for Alfred 2:

 

Open the current Finder folder as a project in Chocolat by keyword ("choc") or as a folder/file action:

It's truly great to be able to configure the two input methods (either by keyword or as an action) drag'n'drop-like!

I was doing a bit of gymnastics in my v1 extension to do just that (check if the query is a valid POSIX path passed by Alfred, or default, etc.) and now it's so easy to set up!

 

I tried to run an external Applescript file (located in the workflow directory) from within the workflow, but that didn't seem to work the way it worked for me with v1. Is that due to the non-finished Applescript implementation or by design? I'd love to have the option to do that, esp for more complex scripts instead of having the whole script in the Run Applescript Module of my workflow.

 

Also, since my old Applescript is working, am I correct in assuming Alfred 2 also passes the POSIX path of the folder/file  an action was called upon as the only parameter?

 

Anyway, no quirks or glitches so far, and v2 feels darn fast…

 

Edit: Updated the link, removed the non-working external script

On topic of the Applescript not working, did you remember to wrap the code in:

 

on alfred_script(q)

 

end alfred_script

 

can you confirm that you did wrap your code in that?

[franzheidl]

Yes of course, here's the full code that called an external .scpt file and worked fine in v1

 

 

 

on alfred_script(q)

set theScript to my runScript("owc_main.scpt", q)

end alfred_script

 

on runScript(fileName, aQuery)

tell application "Finder"

set myScript to load script ((do shell script "pwd") & "/" & fileName)

set runMyScript to myScript's main(aQuery)

end tell

end runScript

The external-Applescropt-not-running question has been answered by Andrew here.

 

I have reworked Open With Chocolat as a workflow (as well as it's Open With Sublime Text 2 sibling) now and opensourced them here:

GREAT ! Thank you very much ! I'm a total newbie in scripting and this is great for me to get how it works. I'll use and edit them for my own workflows for sure !

[franzheidl]

Also on AlfPT now.

Updated that one also according to a pull request by dbingham to my Open With Sublime Text 2 Workflow.

 

Use the updated download links above or pull from github: https://github.com/franzheidl/alfred-workflows

[franzheidl]

Updated the workflow to use "choc" as keyword (equivalent to Chocolat's CL tool command).

[franzheidl]

Updated Workflow to also open files or folders in Chocolat if user entered a path beginning with '~/'.

Use the updated download link above or pull from github.

Thanks for the time on the Chocolat workflow. Very nice!

[franzheidl]

Much appreciated, good to see someone liking Chocolat as much as I do
