😕 Because we're bad at making LaunchBar plugins?

 

Because we are so prolific at development that a LaunchBar user chooses the Alfred Forum to request a LB plugin.

Now that you mention it, I think the LaunchBar forums were made read-only a few months ago, so I guess you can't ask there… Sorry, @Ptujec! I suppose this currently is as good a place as any to ask.

I know this is for Alfred. But is there any chance someone could make an Aktion like that for LaunchBar. Pretty please. And please don't hate me for using LaunchBar. 

Hi,

 

You don't need a workfow for such tasks in Launchbar. Launchbar has a pretty good system integration, so the only thing you need is a system service for text manipulation, as described here: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/LanguagesUtilities/Conceptual/MacAutomationScriptingGuide/ManipulateText.html

Here is a bigger collection but you will also find other if you google. After you install such a service, you can call it directly from LB.

Hi, 

First thanks for the great workflow. 

 

I've noticed an anomaly in its behavior with Microsoft Office apps (in Excel in particular is a bummer as that's where it's most useful). It's adding a backlash before any parenthesis (at least that's the only one I've identified, it doesn't touch { nor [ ).

I'm adding a screenshot of the text in Excel (blue background, ordinary spaces, no line returns), and of the resulting text in Case Converter. 

 

Any idea? 

 

Thanks a lot!

Hmm I'd never noticed that but there's an easy fix - go into each of the Run Script objects and the Script Filter and uncheck Escaping....Brackets.

Gained a perfectly working workflow in Office, and I finally understand what "Escaping" means in this case. 

Thanks a bunch!

This doesn't work with other languages.  With Russian, Turkish or Azerbaijan character (sets?) for example.

 

Any ideas?

It certainly works with Cyrillic. Have you downloaded the correct version of the workflow?

Thanks a lot. I just assumed that the version on GitHub would be the latest. It wasn't.
