How do you keep your workflows up-to-date?

[sr_navarre]

I just updated all of my workflows manually by going through the forum and redownloading each one. I tried Alleyoop a while ago, but it was hit-or-miss and I understand it's not being developed any more.

 

Is there a current method of batch-updating workflows, or are we still waiting on one to be developed?

 

Thanks!

Auto update for workflows is coming to Alfred in the future, for now, have you taken a look at the wonderful http://www.packal.org which has an updater workflow

"Auto update is coming" great news! 

 

I think would be even better to have a version manager for workflows. Because Alfred lets me personalize my environment to such a degree (which is terrific) there are cases I  think I might not want to have the latest version of a workflow. To me, a rvm/homebrew for Alfred workflows > an auto-updater for workflows.

 

Can't wait! Exciting times ahead!

Yep. If you download a workflow from Packal, then then Packal Updater will update it for you whenever one comes out. If the author doesn't release them on Packal, then you generally have to check back in on the release pages (either here in the forums or on Github or wherever else) to find the updates.

FWIW, workflows built with my Python library can update themselves from GitHub.
