xwoker Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Hi Everybody, just got my mega supporter license and "Wow. Alfred 2 is fast!" Just created my first workflow: A File Action that creates a new OmniFocus Task with the File attached. Took me some time to get the applescript right (started out with the script in a screenshot http://patricklenz.com/posts/create-omnifocus-tasks-via-hazel-redux/ that didn't work for me) and refined it a little. You can download it here: http://d.pr/f/zdSH If you find any bugs just let me know. Christian anas 1 Link to comment
rice.shawn Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 This sounds great. Can it add items to places other than the inbox? Can it add tasks without files? Can it add a task with a specific context and folder and project? This would be pretty great to expand to control Omnifocus completely. Maybe it could even add folders, projects, and contexts...

xwoker Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 No, it can't. There is already an extension for OF in Alfred 1 (http://support.alfredapp.com/extensions:productivity). I assume that it will migrated to Alfred 2. You can easily define your own WF for 2 using the script in http://forums.omnigroup.com/showthread.php?t=21781. Creating a task with an embedded file was something I hadn't found else where so I created FW to get a feel for Alfred 2. It was a bit trickier than I thought. (If Alfred 2 is released and nobody creates new WF for OF, I might create & share them. But OF2 is also in the making so let's see that they provide in terms of Applescript support, etc).

rice.shawn Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 From a blog post on OF2 that comes from the Omnigroup: The Pro edition of OmniFocus will offer the option of building custom workflows like OmniFocus 1 does today, with its support for Perspectives and AppleScript. So, they indicate that the regular version will leave out support for those things. Annoying. Link to comment
fly Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I've only just signed up as a Mega Supporter and played around with Alfred 2 Workflows for the first time this evening. My first attempt was a simple OmniFocus workflow, just to get a task into the Inbox, as I can never remember the hot key combination that I defined for the OmniFocus quick entry box. (I posted it online here but it's very basic and nothing most Alfred users couldn't figure out for themselves). Getting Alfred 2 and the forthcoming OmniFocus 2 working together seems like a really promising opportunity. Looking forward to seeing what additional AppleScript support is in OF2. Link to comment
Buja Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 As I understand, this workflow creates a link to the file instead of a physical copy inside of OmniFocus, right? Link to comment
randystokes Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Hi. I downloaded this Workflow and installed it in Alfred 2, but I don't see how to activate it. What's the trigger "word" for causing the workflow to execute? Link to comment
