nikivi Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Really love this workflow. Thank you for sharing it. I can't seem to make it so I can set multiple timers running at the same time. When I try to do it, I get this notification popping up : Is there a way to avoid it? Thank you for any help. Link to comment

Maybe you are trying so set up multiple timers that would sound their alarm at exactly the same time? Link to comment
nikivi Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 No, different timers with different times. Link to comment
TJung Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Did you try timer nuke to reset all your settings? This solved a problem I had today (the timers command wouldn’t list the running timers). Link to comment
alanfluff Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Hi, I can't get a list of current repeat timers, I've tried Nuke but the timers keep popping up and I still can't see a list. Does anyone know if this is just because Alfred 3 and eggtimer v2 are no longer compatible? Cheers, Link to comment
Greth Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 (edited) I just posted this in another topic funnily enough, yeah this particular app is hardcoded so you need the Alfred 2 folders: EGGPREFS="$HOME/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/Workflow Data/carlosnz.eggtimer2" EGGWD="$HOME/Library/Caches/com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred-2/Workflow Data/carlosnz.eggtimer2" Which are ~/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/ and ~/Library/Caches/com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred-2/. If you have those folders it does work with Alfred 3, as I use it all the time. Edited November 16, 2016 by Greth alanfluff 1 Link to comment

Benjamski Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 First of all, I love this workflow and use it constantly. Recently it started showing weird behaviour; not always showing the notification, never showing current timers, and sometimes it just worked and others it never went off. I just deleted the workflow and reinstalled from here, with migrated settings (pretty sure i never changed anything) And now it works, but doesnt show me the confirmation notification, doesn't show in current timers, and doesn't notify me when it goes, off, just rings. I'll include the debug log of me trying "timer 1 TEST" [2016-11-18 13:43:46][STDERR: input.scriptfilter] ls: /Users/Benjamski/Library/Caches/com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred-2/Workflow Data/carlosnz.eggtimer2/recent_timers: No such file or directory ls: /Users/Benjamski/Library/Caches/com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred-2/Workflow Data/carlosnz.eggtimer2/running_timers: No such file or directory ls: /Users/Benjamski/Library/Caches/com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred-2/Workflow Data/carlosnz.eggtimer2/running_autotimers: No such file or directory ls: /Users/Benjamski/Library/Caches/com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred-2/Workflow Data/carlosnz.eggtimer2/running_alarms: No such file or directory [2016-11-18 13:43:46][input.scriptfilter] <?xml version="1.0"?> <items> <item uid="newtimer" arg="newtimer" valid="yes"> <title>New Timer</title> <subtitle>Create a new timer with EggTimer</subtitle> <icon>icon.png</icon> </item> <item uid="newalarm" arg="newalarm" valid="yes"> <title>New Alarm</title> <subtitle>Create a new alarm with EggTimer</subtitle> <icon>resources/icon_alarm.png</icon> </item> <item uid="timer" arg="" valid="no"> <title>No timers or alarms currently running</title> <subtitle>Enter "timer help" for usage instructions.</subtitle> <icon>icon.png</icon> </item> </items> [2016-11-18 13:43:47][input.scriptfilter] <?xml version="1.0"?> <items> <item uid="newtimer" arg="new 1 Reminder" valid="yes"> <title>New Timer:</title> <subtitle>"Reminder" in 1 minute</subtitle> <icon>icon.png</icon> </item></items> [2016-11-18 13:43:48][input.scriptfilter] <?xml version="1.0"?> <items> <item uid="newtimer" arg="new 1 Reminder" valid="yes"> <title>New Timer:</title> <subtitle>"Reminder" in 1 minute</subtitle> <icon>icon.png</icon> </item></items> [2016-11-18 13:43:49][input.scriptfilter] <?xml version="1.0"?> <items> <item uid="newtimer" arg="new 1 T" valid="yes"> <title>New Timer:</title> <subtitle>"T" in 1 minute</subtitle> <icon>icon.png</icon> </item></items> [2016-11-18 13:43:49][input.scriptfilter] <?xml version="1.0"?> <items> <item uid="newtimer" arg="new 1 TE" valid="yes"> <title>New Timer:</title> <subtitle>"TE" in 1 minute</subtitle> <icon>icon.png</icon> </item></items> [2016-11-18 13:43:49][input.scriptfilter] <?xml version="1.0"?> <items> <item uid="newtimer" arg="new 1 TES" valid="yes"> <title>New Timer:</title> <subtitle>"TES" in 1 minute</subtitle> <icon>icon.png</icon> </item></items> [2016-11-18 13:43:49][input.scriptfilter] <?xml version="1.0"?> <items> <item uid="newtimer" arg="new 1 TEST" valid="yes"> <title>New Timer:</title> <subtitle>"TEST" in 1 minute</subtitle> <icon>icon.png</icon> </item></items> [2016-11-18 13:43:52][input.scriptfilter] Processing output of 'action.script' with arg 'new 1 TEST' [2016-11-18 13:43:52][action.script] Processing output of 'output.notification' with arg 'Reminder in 1 minute: "TEST"' I did notice the missing directories at the top, but I don't know enough about what they should be to want to dig in there without sound advice?

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance for any help! Hi @Benjamski I'm no expert of the log output so can't comment, but I had problems, I reinstalled a clean copy from here, which I think is the 'official' location and then followed the instructions to create the two directories, which is the bit you're stuck on? If that is the bit you're stuck on, then in more explicit language this is what I did: open Finder from my Home folder (in my case Macintosh HD > Users > Alan), I clicked to open the folder `Library`, it may be hidden, if so then click to select the folder Macintosh HD > Users > Ben (assuming that's your home folder) in the Finder menu on the menu bar click Go > Go to Folder and in the drop-down type 'Library' (without the quotes) and enter you should now find your Finder window is showing the contents of your Library folder, so now you should be able to click to select Application Support > Alfred a > Workflow Data in the 'Workflow Data' folder create a new folder called precisely carlosnz.eggtimer2 so that's no spaces or uppercase now use Finder to choose the same Library folder (just below your home folder) and this time click to go into the caches folder, and in this folder create a new folder called precisely com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred-2 with these two empty folders created, quit/restart Alfred and try the Egg timer again, for me it then worked AOK Good luck and hope this was helpful and not stating the obvious!

Hi @Benjamski, Here https://www.dropbox.com/s/tu8detakhi3hsbo/eggtimer_v2.0_Alfred3_compatible.alfred3workflow?dl=1 is the original workflow with all paths updated to work with Alfred 3. Enjoy.

On 5/10/2016 at 6:21 AM, CarlosNZ said: Anyway, you might be able to fix it by manually updating the preferences location. Reveal the workflow in Finder, go into "scripts" and open "first_run_check.sh" and "includes.sh" in a text editor. Change any references to "Alfred 2" to "Alfred 3". Then "nuke" the workflow by running "timer nuke" and see how it goes after that. Agh, I just downloaded EggTimer, and had the same issue as @nikivi with the "resume your running timers" prompt every time I tried the workflow. Thanks @CarlosNZ, your suggestion to edit `first_run_check` and `includes` worked like a charm! Link to comment
dave_the_rave Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 This workflow is even greater than the most paid Pomodoro apps out there! One question: Is is possible to run lets say 25min timer directly through a shortcut key without even alfred to show up? I tried to make a shortcut key passing the keyword but it shows up the alfred. Please advice. Sorry for my bad English Link to comment
dave_the_rave Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Is it possible to somehow automatically show Alfred after the timer ends with the "timer" string already input? Link to comment
nikivi Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I would love to tweak this workflow so if I create a new timer whilst a timer is already running, it would override it. Right now it doesn't do that and just does the ringing sound. Link to comment
Ben6532 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I just installed this and no matter what I do - open the documentation, start a new timer, etc. it always opens a window asking me If i want to resume after restart, and does nothing else. the exact text is this: Would you like EggTimer to resume your running timers when you log back in to your computer after a restart? See documentation (“timer help” in Alfred) for more info. Is anyone else getting this? Am I missing something? oreadings 1 Link to comment
ianhowson Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 It looks like this is unmaintained, so I took the latest release, made the tweaks to suit Alfred 3 and stuck it on GitHub. Grab it at https://github.com/ihowson/EggTimer2/releases/tag/v1.0.0 utsolomon14, cands, Jasondm007 and 4 others 7 Link to comment
Jasondm007 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Like most people, I love the EggTimer. In fact, it might be my favorite Alfred Workflow. Thanks @CarlosNZ, @ianhowson, and everybody else on this chain!! By chance, does anyone know how to specify a different notification style for when the alarm/timer is being set, and when the alarm/timer is actually going off (i.e., indicating that its time is up)? I'd like to have the EggTimer behave like a banner and automatically dismiss its notifications when I'm just setting an alarm/timer. However, when the alarm/timer is actually going off, I'd like its notification to behave like an alert, requiring me to manually dismiss it. At the moment, both forms of notifications appear to be controlled by the same settings in System Preferences - Notifications - EggTimer (or EggTimer Alarm). I'd like to avoid using Growl. Also, I'm new to Alfred and am unfamiliar with MountainNotifier, so please be gentle. Ha Thanks for any help you can lend!! All the best! Link to comment

At the moment, both forms of notifications appear to be controlled by the same settings in System Preferences - Notifications - EggTimer (or EggTimer Alarm). Actually, EggTimer behaves just like this ony my system! Unfortunately I can’t remeber how I set it up like this. :-( Maybe it’s because I’ve set the general Alfred notifications (System Preferences - Notifications - Alfred 3) to "Banner", while System Preferences - Notifications - EggTimer is set to "Alert". Try this, and if doesn’t work, report here again. Then I’m going to try to find out what else I might have done to get this behaviour. EDIT: Obviously, that’s it. I just realized that cpmalone posted this trick on Feb 25, 2016 (see page 4 of this thread). And probably, that’s where I got the idea. :-) Edited July 17, 2017 by TJung Link to comment
