Case Converter (including Title Case) - now working on MacOS 12.3

IMHO it makes more sense to let the converter treat acronyms wrong (and the user fixes it manually) rather than not doing anything at all.

 

Which is a valid and understandable preference, but from my anecdotal experience most title case converters disagree. I’ve researched these extensively as the vast majority don‘t do it quite right (because some capitalisations depend on context) and broadly they don’t mess with already capitalised text (exceptions do exist).

If I understand it correctly, workflows doesn't touch words that are all Caps, right?

 

No, it has nothing to do with workflows, which can work anyway the developer makes them work. It’s not a technical limitation, it’s a choice by the creator.

 

As per above, you can work around it by lowercasing the text first then title casing. That will get you exactly the result. But if it worked as you suggest always, the reverse wouldn’t be possible. Perhaps that’s why most choose to have it this way.

Hi

 

How do I get this working with Ventura 13.6

 

Thanks!

Welcome to the forum.

 

Are you using the latest version from the Alfred gallery?

Thank you.

 

Yes, I deleted and downloaded a new version this morning.

 

Thanks.

Welcome @albi55uk,

What exactly is the issue? You haven’t explained how you’re trying to use it or what happened.

 

Think of it like going to a mechanic and asking “how do I get my car working on this road?”. We don’t know if you’re driving the car correctly or if there’s a problem you noticed. It’s impossible to help without details.

 

Make sure you read the Gallery page carefully to understand the proper way to use it, and if it’s failing look at the debugger and paste here the result.

Thank you for the video. The debugger output is also necessary to see what error is happening.

Hi Vitor

 

I ran the debugger, and it said I hadn't agreed to the Xcode license agreement.

 

I've agreed now, and all is good!

 

Thanks for your help.

Hello! This workflow has not been working for me for a while. I just learned about the debugger and it looks like there's a permissions error for "./case3.py" How can I solve this?

 

Here is the full debugger output:

[15:21:26.637] Case Converter 3[Hotkey] Processing complete
[15:21:26.645] Case Converter 3[Hotkey] Passing output 'case converter test' to Script Filter

Thanks for your help!

@bowie-nation If it was working for you before, redownload and reinstall the workflow. It looks like one of the files lost the executable permission. That can happen for example if you use Maestral instead of the official Dropbox client to sync.
