This is so good it should be a native Alfred feature. Absolutely necessary for your productivity, not only can you do more without the mouse, you don't even have to create a Hotkey! I'm triggering it with Cmd+Space.

Say if you’re the author or submitting someone else’s workflow.

I'm not the author, @Benzi is.


Share a link to its thread on the Alfred Forum, if available.

 

Share a link to its main page (e.g. GitHub).

This one is unsigned so it cannot go in as is. It’s in Swift, so perhaps it could switch from being compiled to pasting the code in the language dropdown.

 

It’s important to note that not being in the Gallery does not prevent a workflow from being shared on GitHub as is, that doesn’t change.

Signature looks correct, but you also need to notarise it otherwise there’s going to be a dialog about how Apple wasn’t able to scan it for malicious software and it won’t run.

 

First set up your credentials:

 

/usr/bin/xcrun notarytool store-credentials --apple-id 'YOUR EMAIL' --team-id 'YOUR TEAM ID'

 

To notarise a raw binary, first zip it then use notarytool on the zip:

 

/usr/bin/xcrun notarytool submit '/PATH/TO/THE/ZIP' --keychain-profile 'PROFILE NAME SET WITH store-screndials' --wait

 

After it returns successfully you can trash the zip, it’s only necessary to send it over. From then on, the first time a user runs your binary it’ll contact Apple’s servers to verify the notarisation then keep the information locally.

 

If you use Xcode, there should be a flow for notarising without having to leave it.

@vitor I have 1.9. I can't seem where to find a 2.0 download on the github page. I don't know if your second question is still relevant but I got this

 

/PATH/TO/MENUBAR/BINARY/HERE: No such file or directory

And I found 2.0 just as you sent that link. I deleted 1.9 to start fresh and see if the warning would pop up and upon install of 2.0 there was no warning.

 

And thank you for your continued patience.

Thank you for the update, @Benzi, working great! This will be available later today at http://alfred.app/workflows/benziahamed/menu-bar-search/.

 

@sepulchra It’s no longer relevant but /PATH/TO/MENUBAR/BINARY/HERE was to be changed with the correct path on your machine. For future reference, you can do so by right-clicking the workflow in Alfred Preferences and revealing it in Finder, then dragging and dropping the file into the Terminal.

I'm laughing now @vitor! I see I my brain was a bit too literal.

@vitor and team - thanks for getting the workflow up on the gallery! 🙂

 

Have a question on new versions: If I were to update my workflow to say `2.1` and create a new release on GitHub, what steps are needed so that the gallery picks up the change?

So long as you create a new release on GitHub (and assuming the original Gallery workflow was taken from GitHub) it will be picked up automatically by the Gallery and the update on the Gallery will follow. Note there is a delay between a release and it showing up in the Gallery which allows the workflow creator to add requested features and deal with any feedback.

So I tried to run this workflow, and I keep getting this error, on pressing 'm'

I'm running alfred 5.1 and all the accessibility settings are enabled. I've tried to install the older versions of the workflow, and all of them show the same error.
