You add PATH; don’t need to change the script shebang unless it’s called without python (rare); update the python library if present; change every reference of /usr/bin/python to python.

Noted, thanks

There you go. But I won’t add it to the table because it’s a repeat of another. The goal of the repo is not to promote usage of Python 2 Workflows.

 

Thanks. Pls check and re-share the link as above is not working

As to your other questions, I don’t use Excel or OneDrive so can’t say or test. If you’re finding Workflows which use GUI scripting for the OneDrive app, chances are it doesn’t support proper automation. If they fail to go all the way, you should ask the creators who have already made progress towards the goal. If you find a way to do it programmatically (there might not be one, in which case you need to ask the OneDrive team to implement it), we can help you make it work in a Workflow.

Hoping to get some inputs from other Onedrive or excel expert user. I will also look for similar workflows and reach out to the creators.

With macOS Monterey 12.3, Apple removed the bundled Python 2 interpreter. That means older Workflows dependent on Python 2 will no longer work without modification. You can reinstall Python 2,

Looks like the Workflow may be having trouble fetching airport data. That’s out of scope for the fixes; they’re being corrected so they work again with Python 2, but any behaviour problems with the Workflow itself have to be reported to the creator.

Is it possible to leave file icon for pdf, excel etc

 

@giovanni You can do that by adding to the Script Filter code:

  

"type": "file",
"icon": {"path": fullT, "type": "fileicon"},

 

Technically you only need the second line, but the first adds other niceties by letting Alfred know it’s a path.

The link itself for download was not working. But never mind, we can leave it out

I found that Word Search by Isaac Pohl-Zaretsky no longer works for me now. This is one of my most used Workflows so it's a big hit to my productivity and would appreciate your help.

 

I deleted the Workflow and re-installed it via the link provided (https://github.com/jun6lee/Alfred-WordSearch) but the issue persists. I don't know much about coding so I didn't know where to go from there.

 

FYI, I'm using a Mac Mini 2018 with macOS Monterey 12.4 and it has no issues for anything else.

As the previous post showed, when I type "syn" followed by a word, there are no results.

 

I tried re-installing Python 2 but it lead to a whole other error, so I'm not sure what went wrong...

 

I ran it through troubleshooting (before reinstalling Python 2) and this is the result:

Please let me know how to fix this (bearing in mind I'm naive to coding).

Thanks!

That one has three alternatives listed on the table.

sudo xcode-select --reset in a terminal should fix it.

 Is there a better version of this onenote navigator / search available? The current one has limitation on number of database / notebook that are open. Also searching inside the page content does not work in very reliable manner. Thanks in advance for your time and help

Did any of you guys manage to get Python installed on your Monterey machines? It's not working for me. I installed Homebrew, then tried using the provided terminal command to install Python and get this result:

Appreciate any help, could love to the get the classic Conv workflow going again. :)

Thank you so much, that worked a treat. 

 

For completeness, the snippet below is what I used, after installing Homebrew with the snippet from here 

  

export PATH="/opt/homebrew/bin:/usr/local/bin:${PATH}"
eval "$(brew shellenv)"
git -C $(brew --repo homebrew/core) checkout master
brew install pyenv
pyenv install 2.7.18
ln -s "${HOME}/.pyenv/versions/2.7.18/bin/python2.7" "${HOMEBREW_PREFIX}/bin/python"

Can I download Python here instead? https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2718/

 

After the installation Python is here:

Please help me thanks.

I tried following these steps but emoji taco and Word Search (syn) are still giving errors. Debug shows "No such file or directory". Help! On an M1 Monterey 12.5.1 with Alfred 5.

That’s the problem. You can’t alias python to python3. The former is supposed to be Python 2.


But none of those Workflows needs these steps. They both have updated version which are linked to in the tables. Download the proper versions: EmojiTaco; WordSearch.

For future reports, please make sure to post the exact full errors. It’s not possible to properly help without knowing what exactly is happening.

That worked (switched the alias, downloaded latest – I thought I had the latest).

Thank you!
