TextSoap cleaners on the Clipboard

[raguay.customct]

In case anyone browses the forum to figure out why this workflow stopped working after upgrading to Alfred 3, just go through the workflow and update scripts as follows: [e.g., tell application] "Alfred 2" → "Alfred 3".

 

@raguay.customct, this workflow is indeed the best. Thank you once again!

 

It may be my imagination, but it seems that this workflow is even faster on Alfred 3. Fantastic! :-)

 

It is faster on Alfred 3 because Alfred 3 is much faster, or as I said, snappier than Alfred 2. I have the workflow updated to Alfred 3, but they have asked us not to upload them to Packal and such until Alfred 3 is out of beta. Should be in a couple of weeks.

[raguay.customct]

I'm working on uploading all my workflows udated to Alfred 3, but I have over 50 of them. So it is taking a little while. I'm also working on a tutorial for Tuts+ about Alfred 3. Stay tuned for it's publication.

Any chance that you'll publish the updated Alfred 3 workflow? Thanks!

[raguay.customct]

I've had it updated since Alfred 3.0 came out. Sorry, I haven't updated the link. It is now updated and you can get the latest version from the GitHub account:  https://github.com/raguay/MyAlfred/blob/master/Alfred 3/TextSoapCleaners.alfredworkflow

 

All of my workflows in this branch work great and I use them a lot.

[fncll]

Thanks! You might want to look at this note for developers: textsoap8agent is being deprecated. It already is for SetApp users (like myself), so I ended up modifying all the scripts to refer to textsoap and textsoap.app ... which should also work with non-SetApp version of TextSoap as well!

Hi @fncll,

 

Just updated the workflow on GitHub:  https://github.com/raguay/MyAlfred/blob/master/Alfred 3/TextSoapCleaners.alfredworkflow

 

It's now future proofed for Alfred and TextSoap. Just set the TextSoap application name in the environment variables and the scripts will call the right application. I changed all the AppleScripts to JXA (JavaScript for Automation). Seems to be working for me. Let me know.

[fncll]

Works like a champ! Thanks for the update!

Thanks a lot for this awesome workflow. It has been reliable for several years, however, it stopped working for me when updating to TextSoap version 9. There is no information from debugging mode in Alfred, the workflow acts just as before and confirms that cleaning was performed, but the text is not transformed. Any ideas how to fix this?

 

I'm using version 4.0 of the workflow on macOS 11.6 and Alfred version 4.6.1. I'm using the Setapp Edition of TextSoap version 9.0.5.

Hi, I'm glad you like it. I just updated it a little bit to 5.9 that you can download from my GitHub repository: https://github.com/raguay/MyAlfred/blob/master/Alfred 4/TextSoap Cleaners.alfredworkflow

 

Let me know if that helps.

Yes, with the new version you provided it works again, thanks a lot for the quick update!

Hi. Thanks for this tool!

tc:clean or tc:full do not retrive my custom cleaners at the moment. Although the Run Last Cleaner action works every time.

 

Version 9.1.2 (3058) ~ Quick screen capture here.

 

Let me know if you can help!

Could you turn on the debugger and send me the results? Also, screen capture the settings panel so I can see how you have it setup. Thanks.

Alfred 5, Textsoap 9 

Hi, I downloaded but am unable to run the workflow. All I get is the notification below if I run for example tc:full

I can run textsoap 9 independently no problem, so it's not a textsoap installation issue.

thanks in advance for your time and help and thank you for all your work writing this workflow.

 

 

 

[vitor]

@rob213 For anyone to be able to help, the requested information is necessary. In particular the debugger should show what is going wrong (but even if there are no errors, whatever it shows can still be useful).

[raguay.customct]

@vitor is right. I need the output of the debugger window and you environment variables. Otherwise, I can’t tell you what is wrong.

[raguay.customct]

Also, I live in Thailand. So if you are in the UK or US, it will take me a night to get back with you.

[rob213]

@raguay.customct

I am working on it. My profuse apologies for the delay. I was trying to find the problem myself.

Catalina latest update

Alfred 5  latest update

TextSoap 9.1.2

 

What I did: 

call up Alfred ⌥ Spacebar

typed tc then clicked on Get a list of cleaners available

result: one notification appeared as per below: saved full list of cleaners.

 

Dubugging (below) (thank you @vitor )

Can’t get application "textsoapAgent.app".

 

Please note that TextSoap 9 is installed and I am a registered user (paid copy)

I looked at textsoap 9 and discovered that textsoapagent is a supplementary module which has to be added separately, which I did.

 

Now, when I run the workflow again and debug the workflow, I get the same result (notification) but no error messages.

I was expecting to see a list of cleaner to choose from but only get a notification.

There is perhaps something basic I don't understand with your workflow.

So I'm at a loss at to what I should do next.

 

Thanks very much !

You have to run `tc:getcleaners` in the Alfred prompt and wait for it to copy a list of cleaners. I do it this way because the query can be slow. Then you use `tc:clean`  to select a cleaner to apply to the text in the clipboard.

I ran get tc:getcleaners which seems to have worked and then tc:clean which does not. 

I don't see a list of cleaner to choose from (although I have many in TextSoap 9), and the debugging suggests I have a problem

I can use the textsoap agent with a global shortcut, no problem.

 

thanks again

In the environment variables, there is one called `compiled`. If it’s zero, you have to have nodejs on your system and set it’s path in the `nodeapp` environment variable. If it’s one, it will try to run the compiled program I made for it.

last question and I will leave you in peace. 

Where are environment variables in the workflow. The Alfred Help did not help me understand. thanks again very much
