wow...

[raguay.customct]

Great. I had been using the older version that did not always align the columns. This one is working great with my theme! Thanks.

[owenwater]

I'm so glad if you like it. 

[guiluchesi]

Aweeeeeesome!!

[deanishe]

Kudos. That's some seriously clever coding.

[lidow]

I do the config - change the start day to Monday.

I saw the calendar once

2nd try gives me this for both cal and calconfig

OK fix it, somehow this file was empty. I delete it and create it again.

@lidow Can you tell me the version of your workflow? You can find it under workflow directory. And please tell me if you saw this issue again. 

[deanishe]

I've seen this a couple of times. I'm beginning to think we introduced a bug with the atomic write in AW. Or we didn't solve the problem of workflow's being killed by Alfred.

 

In a versioned workflow like this one, AW should always write the version to settings.json after the workflow completes ("__last_run_version").

[owenwater]

Interesting. It never happened on my laptop. Maybe because of the SSD the writing operation is fast enough?

[deanishe]

My machine has SSDs and it has happened to me…

 

I'm thinking AW should probably keep backups of settings.json. Say, the last 10 versions (it's not a large file). This could be  a very hard problem to track down.

 

Perhaps checking that the new file isn't empty would be a good idea.

Or `Immediately after each character typed` + `Terminate previous script` is just not a good idea? Let's discuss it on the github, I may have some other idea.

[deanishe]

I've opened a corresponding issue here: https://github.com/deanishe/alfred-workflow/issues/69

Can I configure it opens with BusyCal or Fantastical 2?

[RuslanI]

This is awesome! Thank you. 

Could it be possible to act on specific dates - like open selected date in the calendar or fantastical apps? 

[owenwater]

@jTux Those two are not free softwares, let me see if I can develop by trial version.

 

@Ruslanl Because the Alfred workflow can only select one line at a time. Selecting a specific date will increase too much complexity of user interface.

[deanishe]

You can open a date in BusyCal with busycalevent://date/2015-08-15

There's a bit more info here.

I don't have Fantastical 2, so I can't comment on that.

[owenwater]

Thanks @deanishe, I have downloaded both one and Fantastical 2 can be opened in a very similar way.

See http://www.alfredforum.com/topic/1272-add-to-fantastical/?hl=fantasticalre Fantastical

[owenwater]

Hi @jTux, I just update the workflow and it supports BusyCal or Fantastical 2 now.

[Doom]

I love this idea.

I love to config it and I also love the way how you display a calendar in alfred, pretty creative!

[deanishe]

I have another feature request: Google Calendar.

 

The URL looks like this:

[owenwater]

@deanishe Google Calendar is supported now. 

 

@FirePanther I'm so glad you like it.

[deanishe]

Works like a charm. Marvellous.

 

FWIW, I've changed the keyword to ".cal" because "cal" shows a bunch of other stuff, too.

 

Also, any chance you'll turn on AW auto updates? I was ever so slightly disappointed that "cal workflow:update" didn't work, and I had to actually click on a link like a plebian

 

I mean, you're already using GH releases and semantic versions…
