Color Picker

[zeitlings]

Pick a color to get its hex, rgba, hsl representation or NSColor initializer.

Usage

Activate the Color Sampler with the keyword (default: cp) and pick the desired color.

Color History

To review previously picked colors, activate the workflow with the keyword preceded by a colon (default: :cp).

v1.2.0 implements the new grid view for the color history

Am i missing something? I type cp and hit enter. Nothing appears. Alfred 5.5, macOS Version 14.4.1 (23E224)

Hey @Textdriven

 

Unfortunately, there is no error message in the logs to suggest a solution. :cp doesn’t work because there is no color history to show yet.

The only thing I can think of is this: The script is compiled on your device the first time you run the workflow. This seems to be required since macOS 14. 

For this to work, you may still need to install the Xcode command line tools to run the swiftc command that compiles the swift code into an executable. This can be done by running the following command in the terminal: 

 

xcode-select --install

 

However, if I'm not mistaken, macOS should have prompted you with a popup asking you to install the command line tools if they are not present 🤷‍♂️

Your OS is too old for at least one of the functions called here. I'll check if I can add support for macOS 12.

@clement You can try again now with the updated version from Github. Let me know if it works!
