Florian Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 Hey Andrew, would it be possible / would you consider to have the items display in the results as they arrive? For some scripts with a little latency, it would be a major improvement. For example, I scripted something to get films : image from amazon, description and title from imdb. But getting one of these takes about a second or two. So a list of these is way too long... But if you could display them as they arrive! I hope you'll consider this one if it's not too much work. I'm having so much fun with this beta Tyler Eich 1
Tyler Eich Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 I would love it if Alfred updated results as they echoed! I sometimes can't tell if my script is dysfunctional or just taking a while to download content. If I could echo something like "Loading results...Please wait", I would know a little better.
loris Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 I think both of your requests have nothing to do with Alfred but the way you implement your workflows. Your workflow should be able to tell Alfred to display a "Please wait" feedback item, then populate the feedback list as soon as you receive data.
Florian Posted January 20, 2013 Author Posted January 20, 2013 Do you have an example of a script that does that? I've tried a few different thing without success...
Florian Posted January 20, 2013 Author Posted January 20, 2013 Though for you tyler, I encourage you to use the terminal to debug your scripts. You can message me in private if you don't know how.
jdfwarrior Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 I don't know that that's going to be possible guys..
Florian Posted January 20, 2013 Author Posted January 20, 2013 Yeah I had my doubts It'd be neat though
ClintonStrong Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 Do you have an example of a script that does that? I've tried a few different thing without success... I think loris meant that you can set a placeholder title/subtitle in your script filter that says that it's loading, which gets replaced when you output your results.
