Calculate Anything

[Floating.Point]

Not my workflow

Requires PHP

 

[vitor]

@biati This would be a good addition to the Gallery, but I see it’s using Workflow Environment Variables instead of Workflow Configuration. Is that a change you plan to make? Or would you take a pull request? 

[biati]

Hi @vitor yes, its planned but i'm having a lot of work this past months so i had to postpone it, i think i'm really close to finish the update but i need to finish some paid projects first.

@vitor The workflow has been updated, it includes a lot of changes including the new Workflow configuration window.

@biati Massive update!

 

I don’t see documentation on how to use color. And time always fails for me.

 

Alfred 5.0.6
macOS 13.2.1 (22D68)
PHP 8.2.4

[vitor]

@biati Please ping me when you make the update and I’ll continue with the addition.

Hi @vitor i did not even notice i replied in another thread, anyway i've published the update https://github.com/biati-digital/alfred-calculate-anything/releases/tag/4.0.1

 

I've one question, If the workflow is added to the workflow gallery, will current users have to reinstall it from the gallery so Alfred can handle the updates?

 

Please let me know if it requires changes.

No need to redownload, the Gallery will detect it’s the same workflow.

 

This is now live at https://alfred.app/workflows/biatidigital/calculate-anything/

 

I do have a suggestion for the next release. Say you’re trying to convert 12km to inches. As you type:

• 12: You see a result in Alfred.
• 12km: Result disappears.
• 12km t: Result reappears, with an error.
• 12km to i: Result disappears.
• 12km to in: Result reappears.
  

The disappearances make it seem like something may have gotten wrong, but it’s simply a matter of no results being returned. Perhaps you could detect when no results will be output and show a generic message (e.g. the above error message)? So users can easily see everything is working and it’s just a matter of needing to continue to type.
