Download

Get the workflow from GitHub.


Usage
 

  • fake [<query>] — List/filter available fake data types
    • , ⌘+C or ⌘+NUM — Copy one fake datum to clipboard
    • ⌘+↩ — Paste fake datum into frontmost app
    • — Specify number of datasets to copy to clipboard
    • ⌘+L — Show generated data in Alfred's Large Text window
  • fakeconfig [<query>] — Activate and deactivate locales for fake data
    • — Toggle selected locale on or off

If you specify multiple data, e.g. fake Name 〉 10 for 10 names, the data
will be separated by newlines (\n).

In the case of Paragraph and Address types, the data will be separated
by two newlines (\n\n).

Supported data types and locales

See the GitHub page for details.

The ⇥ action is built in to Alfred. It shouldn't highlight anything, and the workflow can't affect its the way it works, AFAIK.
 
Could you enter fake catch in Alfred's query box and tell me what Alfred shows in its results list and also in the debugger?

But now I have a problem - that python process hangs up. Many python processes had heavy CPU usage. 

Tried this workflow https://github.com/deanishe/alfred-fixum/

But it doesn't help. 

 

No, Fixum won't help because it has the same version of the library. This isn't that bug.

 

I can't get the workflow to misbehave in that way. Could you kill the offending Python processes and see if it happens again?

 

Also, which version of macOS are you running?

I killed python process and when I tried to use today's fakeum again - everything repeated. 

My OS is High Sierra 10.13.1 (the latest one). 

I'm one of those users who try to tweak their computer in many ways, even if they don't understand what exactly they do. So, I might mess up with python by myself. And maybe my problem is very specific:(

It sounds like a re-occurence of the Sierra bug. I did change that section of the code in the latest release of Alfred-Workflow (which Fakeum uses).

 

I haven't had any issues on El Cap or Sierra, but I don't have High Sierra to test it on (and I'm not going to install it, as it's still rotten with bugs).

 

At this point, I'd like to wait and see if anybody else is having the same issue (which should soon become apparent, as Fixum—the workflow that fixes the Sierra bug—also installs the latest version of Alfred-Workflow). If they are, I'll back out the changes to the forking code.

Hello,

 

I am sorry but "newbie in progress"…

 

I have just installed Fakeum on my newly installed AlfredApp (on a totally new MacBook Pro M1 - MacOS Monterey).

Fakeum seems to be correctly installed on Alfred (Present in "workflows")…

 

…but I can't succeed to generate any fake data. 

I am a little bit lost…

 

Any help would be most welcome.

 

Very best

 

Eiffel
