poritsky Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 (edited) I made a workflow to search the Ulysses database for the new Ulysses III. This feature is missing from the app itself (for now) so I put together this workflow to get around that. The workflow simply adds search scopes for Ulysses' "sheet" and "group" filetypes. As a bonus, there's also an "Open in Ulysses" File Action included with the workflow. It works on .txt and .rtf documents, which will come into Ulysses parsed as Markdown.

69wpm Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Thank God for this workflow. The coders said they would implement a search function in U3, but who knows when. Thanks a lot. Link to comment
Carlos-Sz Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Here if I find a group and hit Return Ulysses does not open it. Link to comment
poritsky Posted April 11, 2013 Author Share Posted April 11, 2013 Here if I find a group and hit Return Ulysses does not open it. Hmm. I just tested this and it's working on my end. Is this still happening? Link to comment
DugRay Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Nice! Although, for some reason, I had to limit the scope to the Ulysses 3 container for it to work. Otherwise, it wasn't finding anything. Link to comment
Carlos-Sz Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Hmm. I just tested this and it's working on my end. Is this still happening? It is working on my iMac. I will have to see what is going on in my MacBook. Nice! Although, for some reason, I had to limit the scope to the Ulysses 3 container for it to work. Otherwise, it wasn't finding anything. I had to do the same and if you have an external source you also have to add it. Link to comment
DugRay Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I had to do the same and if you have an external source you also have to add it. It seems to be because the ~/Library/Containers folder isn't in the default Alfred search scope. I guess you could add the whole Containers folder to the default scope, but that might muddy up all searches too much. Link to comment
potatonerd Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 (edited) Gday, I'm having no search results from this workflow, Id love to be! alfred could just be quicker than that missing search function in U3 anyhow!

THANKS! Edited May 27, 2013 by potatonerd Link to comment
robwalton Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Hi @poritsky, Your workflow looks super useful but unfortunately the link is broken. I made one last year too but it doesn't search inside sheets like yours: https://www.alfredforum.com/topic/9662-ulysses-workflow/ http://support.hogbaysoftware.com/t/alfred-2-workflow-for-taskpaper-3/2481 Link to comment
