This looks great trying it out now!

This is fantastic, @pseudometa! Would it be possible to set user-defined upvote thresholds? (i.e. to show only posts with at least X upvotes)

Haven't thought of that, but that's actually a good idea!

 

Added a minimum number of upvotes as a new setting with the latest release: https://github.com/chrisgrieser/alfred-reddit-browser/releases/download/1.1.0/alfred-reddit-browser.alfredworkflow

[dood]

Thanks, @pseudometa! The setting doesn't appear to be working on v.1.2.4, but I appreciate you looking into it!

[pseudometa]

It requires a reload before they take effect. You can force reload with ":reddit"

[dood]

Sweet, thanks!

@pseudometa Don't mean to give you more work, but it'd be awesome if we could set specific upvote thresholds for individual subreddits (since these can vary greatly according to the size of the subreddit) 🙈 No worries if this isn't possible

no worries, there is no harm in asking!

 

I was thinking about that too, and while it technically not hard to implement, the tricky thing would be how to create a good interface for the user to configure it. Alfred currently does not allow to flexibly change the number of configuration options, so it would have to be done in all in a big text field, which in turn can be prone to errors when by the user. 

 

Anyway, it's in my mind and if the workflow has more users, I'll try to think of something (right now, the workflow only has two dozen downloads, compared to other workflows/plugins with thousands of downloads, so I gotta prioritize where I spend the time I have 😅)

[dood]

@pseudometa I noticed that the "old.reddit.com" setting only applies to opening a post in the browser... When I Quick Look a post in Alfred using the Shift Key, the window opens with the new Reddit interface.

 

Would it be possible to make the "old.reddit.com" setting apply to the Quick Look URL as well? Thanks!

[pseudometa]

@dood It already does, if it is not an image post. For image posts, the preview prioritizes to show an image, and for images, old-reddit does not seem to work properly, little I can do, sorry

[dood]

oops, you're right! thanks @pseudometa

[dood]

Hi @pseudometa – would it be possible to have a setting to only show "new" posts (i.e. those that don't have the "new" tag/icon)?

Edited December 5, 2023 by dood

[pseudometa]

yeah, but tbh I don't have the time rn to implement it. If you could open a Feature Request on GitHub, it'd allow me to keep track of it to maybe implement later?

[dood]

ok, thanks!

[hedkase]

I keep getting this error for any subs I've added to the workflow.

 

"title":"r/Alfred","subtitle":"⚠️ error or subreddit not found (see debugging log) 👥 5 878","arg":"Alfred","icon":{"path":"icon.png"

 

Any ideas?

I suggest you copy and paste the debugging log here. Alternatively open the debugger, run the workflow and copy and paste the full output of the debigger here. That may help the workflow author diagnose the problem.

 

Welcome to the forum.

@Stephen_C

 

oh right, guess that would help.

@hedkase Could you post your workflow configuration?

The only thing I changed in the config was adding of the subreddits. is there a way to export my config?

Edited January 20 by hedkase

[pseudometa]

@hedkase Okay, I figured it out then. The issue is simply an error warning when the subreddit has no icon. Workflow works completely fine by defaulting to the default icon, only falsely throws an error even though there is none.

 

Fixed the issue in release 1.3.5. You can directly download the new version directly here, or wait 1-2 days for the Alfred Gallery to update.

(In case you directly download the fix, it will show an "update available" icon next to the workflow for a day or two until the Alfred Gallery is updated to include the new version, do not update it then, since it will revert you to 1.3.3, which is currently the most recent version on the Gallery.)

[pseudometa]

@doodCannot tell via the debugging log alone, really. Just to be safe: do you have more than one subreddit added in your configuration?

 

If so, could you share your config, so I can have a look whether it's an issue related to a specific setting?

Edited March 12 by pseudometa

[dood]

 @pseudometa here's my config – I do have more than one subreddit added
