Is there a way to auto refresh results?


Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

I wrote a simple countdown program in Python and use it in Alfred with a script filter.

It basically shows the remaining time to a date.

Everythin works just fine, but the result is, of course, a fixed remaining time.

I was wondering if there is a way to refresh the result (for example every second) to have a live countdown?

I tried it with a loop/sleep in Python, but that doesn't work since the script doesn't end and Alfred seems to wait for that.

Thanks in advance!

Hey Vitor,

thanks for your reply.

Nice idea, it's sufficient for my use case, so thank you! However, a built-in function could suppress the complete reload of the Alfred window, of course.

I totally agree with you, it's not a must-have-feature coming from Alfred, I was just wondering whether I just missed it.

There might be some similar use cases to the ones mentioned in your post (top, wolfram; e.g. ping, download progress, ...), we'll see what the community will come up with.

Best regards!
