MailTo: Select multiple Contacts *and* Groups and compose in your favourite email app

[deanishe]

I can't do anything with a screenshot. Please post an actionable description of your issue.

 

Open Alfred's debugger (to turn on debug mode), run Force Reload from MailTo's settings screen (keyword mailto), then open the log file with mailto workflow:openlog and post the log messages from the update_apps.py script.

[MEs]

Thanks. Here it is :

Seems like Airmail 3 is detected properly, but I can't select it. But I did all this reload previously, and I wasn't able to choose Airmail. Now I can...! Not sure why.

 

Unfortunately, every time I try to run mailto, I get a "Python"process using 99% of CPU. I realised it because after 2-3 process Python running aside, I hear my fans running

So far, only one is running, even after using the Mailto workflow a few times.

Is it because of the contacts updating ?

[deanishe]

Nope. The workflow has an out-of-date version of a library that doesn't get along with Sierra. That is almost certainly what was preventing you from selecting Airmail.

 

Here's the solution. Run that workflow and it will fix MailTo and any other workflows you have that are affected by the bug.

[MEs]

Thanks a lot ! Worked perfectly !

 

One last question, is there any reason why "mailto" followed by the name of a contact won't find my contacts when "@" works ? Looking at the workflow, I thought both would show me the contacts corresponding to my query.

• @ + ENTER — compose a blank mail (no recipients)
• @ [part of name or email address] — search your Contacts for matches. You can also add email addresses not in your Contacts.
• mailto — see and change current settings

 

[MEs]

Ok then. For some reason it used to work with mailto just like with @ ...

[deanishe]

Yeah. In the first version mailto was the keyword for sending. And then I realised that it should be @.

[MEs]

Okay so I wasn't a full

Thanks again for your help and your great workflows !

No, that's how version 1 worked.

[kjaymiller]

Great tool here... Can you explain how you got the multiple contact acceptance to work.. I would like to implement in an unrelated project.

Edited July 1, 2017 by kjaymiller

[deanishe]

I'm not clear on what it is you're asking. What do you mean by "acceptance"?

I mean the ability add multiple values before sending the entire list of email addresses. 

[deanishe]

By setting the autocomplete value on feedback items. TABbing on a result adds the full email address plus a trailing comma to the input. The workflow script treats everything after the last comma as a search query.

Bonjour,

depuis le passage à High sierra 10.13.1 (17B1003), la connexion avec le carnet d'adresse est rompu.

Impossible de reconnecter. (capture 9:11)

Si je veux juste créér un mail, une notification apparait.(capture 9:12)

Merci pour votre aide.

Alain

Hello

since switching to High sierra 10.13.1 (B 17, 1003), the connection with the address book is broken.

Unable to reconnect. (capture 9:11)

If I want to just create a mail, a notification appears. (capture 9:12)

Thanks for your help.

@Alain Welcome to the forum. Could you please fill in your Powerpack email address in your forum profile? This is only visible to admins, and allows us to confirm your Powerpack status.

Je crois que j'ai fait

It's done, I think

[Vero]

@Alain Thanks for filling that in  

 

I think @deanishe will be in a better position to help you as it's his workflow, but in the meantime:

 

- Check if there are errors reported in the debugger

- Let us know whether you're using the default Contacts app in High Sierra, or a third-party contacts manager, etc

 

Cheers,
Vero

[Alain]

Merci, j'utilise Contacts de Mac.

Hi Alain,

 

I need the log file, not the debugger output. The debugger only shows what the Script Filter is doing, not what the script that reads your contact list is doing.

Enter @ workflow:openlog in Alfred to open the log file in Console.app, then enter mailto in Alfred and run the Force Reload action.

[Alain]

Bonsoir merci de votre aide

Remove contact details

[deanishe]

@Alain I have no idea what's going wrong there. The error message doesn't make any sense (I'm not using any dates), and I can't replicate the error, as I don't have High Sierra.

 

The only thing I can suggest is editing the update_contacts.py file within the workflow to turn off groups: Change line 237 from for group in iter_groups(): to for group in []:

 

That way, you can still use the workflow to address individuals, but no groups.

 

Is anybody else having this issue on High Sierra?

[Alain]

Désolé, ça ne marche pas…

 

[deanishe]

What doesn't work? The change I suggested? Could you post the log again (removing any names and email addresses first)?

Remove irrelevant log entries

[deanishe]

Not sure how to fix the issue, tbh.

 

I've just released a new version that should ignore groups that cause problems. Could you update to that one and try again? Also force reload once more and post the log? But not the entire log, please. Just the lines between Executing task `update-contacts` in background... and Task `update-contacts` finished.
