Paperless

[Crocmagnon]

Hey 👋🏻

 

TL;DR

Here's a workflow for searching your paperless files via Alfred and opening them in your browser.

The latest version is available on the GitHub release page: https://github.com/Crocmagnon/paperless-alfred-go/releases. 

⚠ I don't have an Apple Developer account, so there's a big scary warning when you first run the GitHub release version.

Instructions are available in the readme.

 

 

The trigger keyword is "ppl" and it expects a document search string (documentation here).

The workflow fully supports french alphabet, including accents. I suppose (without having tested) that it will support other alphabets just fine.

 

A bit of context

I was looking for a paperless search workflow.

I found the nice "paperless-alfred" by Naam on GitHub (https://github.com/Naam/paperless-alfred).

Unfortunately, this workflow presented several issues for my use case:

• multi-word queries were broken
• queries with French accents were broken

 

The workflow was also quite complex, downloading files before opening them locally.

I needed something simpler, so I wrote my own.

 

I hope this helps!
