jayphen Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 I'm having problems with version 4 on Yosemite. I'm getting the following – [ERROR: alfred.workflow.input.scriptfilter] Code 1: 0:50: execution error: System Events got an error: Can’t get property list file "/Users/Jayphen/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/Workflow Data/com.sztoltz.recentitems/settings.plist" of application "System Events".

PS: you can try to move the plist file ("/Users/Jayphen/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/Workflow Data/com.sztoltz.recentitems/settings.plist”) to a temporary location then try the workflow again.

Hmm, there actually isn't a plist file in that location. PS the 3.3 beta does seem to work. Edited August 10, 2014 by jayphen Link to comment
Marcin Bogdanowicz Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 A fantastic workflow! Thanks a lot. The workflow is enormously useful. I'm trying to turn a custom category 1 into images/photos/pictures. However, in all probability I've set wrong file type names because Alred says "there is no recent images" after me entering into this newly created category of mine that I called "images". Could anyone please provide respective type names here? Most likely it'll start working like magic after typing in proper file types. Link to comment

The file type (UTI) for images: public.png,public.jpeg,public.image To test, make sure to open an image. Link to comment

Thanks a lot, it works very well even without opening an image beforehand - Alfred showed me three .png images, two of which opened as far as four days ago. By the way, I've noticed that the command "rec doc" shows not only recent docs but also images, in fact on the list of so enumerated "docs" I have now exactly those three abovementioned .png images. So does the category "doc" comprise images, incl. other than .png images, as well? Link to comment

Marcin Bogdanowicz Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Thank you. However, with regard to your category of "docs" I've noticed that Alfred shows not only .png but also .jpg files because I opened a lot of them yestarday, which fulfilled almost whole of Recent-files workflow's list of recent docs. Therefore I was wondering if it won't be difficult to turn a custom category, say c2, into documents exclusively, i.e. excluding images altogether? I've made some quick research and found a pretty handy web page with UTI types which may turn out to be useful for someone (see below). Nevertheless personally, I've finally come to a conclusion that unlike images there is far too many UTI file types for documents to be found out only there, let alone including .odt, .ods, and many other Open Office and Windows Office newest types (i.e. .xlsx, .docx, etc.), which are not listed on the page: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Miscellaneous/Reference/UTIRef/Articles/System-DeclaredUniformTypeIdentifiers.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40009259-SW1 but hopefully, you know some simple solution to this document-only issue... And if there is no better solution than ferreting out a few-yard long list of UTI document types , I rather stick to the "doc" category of yours and my newly created custom category of "images".

The workflow could remove .png and .jpg/jpeg from the list instead of collecting all known documents type. I’ll think about it. Thank you for your feedback. Link to comment
Marcin Bogdanowicz Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 It would be great. And by the way what about updating your workflow, sorry I'm a newbie and don't know if it happens automatically or not. Link to comment

I feel sorry to be alone in this case. Regards. F. Link to comment
Smith007 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Hi, Can confirm it doesn't work on Yosemite. You type "fav", "now" and it just defaults to google. "rec" also doesn't show the options in the workflow as per initial post. Cheers Link to comment
Rob Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I got the same problem with OSX 10.10. Workflow cannot find "/Users/(USER)/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/Workflow Data/com.sztoltz.recentitems/settings.plist”" Could someone please upload an old v3 version as long as v4 is not fixed? Thank you Link to comment

emai Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Just want to confirm that 4.1 works for me. Had same problem with not finding plist file with 4.0. As by now the linked file on first post is not 4.1. Maybe you could update the link? Thank you very much for that great workflow and the cool upgrades. Carlos-Sz 1 Link to comment
politicus Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 +1. Was in the same situation as emai. Had to scroll all the pages of this thread + install the workflow a second time because the link in the first post was not updated. Gave me the opportunity to rediscover how this workflow is FANTASTIC Link to comment
