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

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

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

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 😅)

@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!

@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
