A countdown timer extension for Alfred.app

alfred-countdown-timer's Issues

Is there a way to change the alarm sound?

Is the .mp4 file bundled anywhere where i can change it? Not very familiar with alfred extensions but id be happy to share my results if anyone can point me in the right direction!

The reason for wanting this is that the sound is too dominant for me to use it at work as i want, but the timer has been really helpful so i would like to make it work :)

Find a way to build .alfredextension and .alfredworkflow from the command line

Building the .alfredextension and .alfredworkflow files by exporting from Alfred is very clumsy.

There should be a way to create these files via some command line magic. Then we could simply do make packages to build a new release.

Restore workflow on Monterey

By default, this does not seem to be operational on MacOS Monterey.

Suggested workaroung:

 pip3 install -U pyobjc

Then, in Alfred Preferences, pick this workflow from the workflow list. Click the Run Script object, use Configure Object from the context menu.

Then, edit script. Use direct reference to Python3.

/usr/local/bin/python3 timer.py {query} > /dev/null 2>&1 &

Notification Icon

Is it possible to change the notification icon? I'm getting Finder icon right now.

Also would be nice to have a command line argument for volume and alarm sound. So it can be easily customised by the users from the workflow page.

Thanks for the awesome workflow!

Investigate Alfred 2's "External Triggers" feature

Alfred 2 recently introduced a new External Trigger workflow object that listens for AppleScript messages and injects them into the workflow's message pipeline.

Maybe we could use this feature together with the Post Notification to replace the somewhat hacky OS X notifications code.

I've played a bit with this idea and the Python applescript bridge:

import ScriptingBridge

alfred = ScriptingBridge.SBApplication.applicationWithBundleIdentifier_("com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred-2")

alfred.runTrigger_inWorkflow_withArgument_(
    "org.dbader.timer",
    "org.dbader.alfred.timer",
    "Hello, World."
)

You need to run this with the system Python like so: $ /usr/bin/python2.7 alfreddemo.py.

Pros:

• Automatically works with Growl or Notification Center because notifications are posted by Alfred

Cons:

• Less control over notification contents and style, e.g we always get the workflow icon as part of the notification and we can't set the title:
  
• Because this relies on the ScriptingBridge module being present this means we have the same problems with people replacing their system Python install or manually removing the module. A workaround could be to run the osascript command line tool from a Python script to post notifications

Alfred 3

Hi

i was able to get a post notification with alfred 3 just by adding a new node. No idea how to put this into code.

however, I am not able to get the notification to output my message

Any ideas?

Snoozing!

As a user, I want to snooze alarms so that I don't forget but I don't have to take action immediately

As a user, I want short timers to have short snoozes... maybe 5min default, but if the timer is less than 5min, make it 1min? I dunno...
OR
As a user, I want two snooze buttons, one for a short snooze, one for a long one

I might try to work on this - will you merge it if I do?

something wrong

hello,when i run the timer.py it tells me that:"no module named ojbc"
i check every file but can't find the module,it's kind of you if you tell me what's matter with me.thank you

single quotes anywhere inside the label part of the query make it fail silently

like "0 it's time to get up"

pause functionality

Why is not there any pause functionality.

Add ability for timer at a certain time

Loving the simplicity of this timer, would be good to have a feature where I can set a timer for a specific time e.g @17:30 would set the timer to go off at 17:30 whereas without the @ symbol current behaviour is kept (17 m 30s).

[Feature Request] Add easy ability to change timer chime

Even allowing basic system default sounds would be nice

Nothing happens :-/

I just tried your extension for Alfred, hoping to be able to remember that my tea was done, but it didn't work, and my tea is ruined! Ruined I tell you, ruined!!

Well not really, but still, I can't get the extension to work. I type "timer 5:30" into alfred, it recognizes the alias but when I hit ENTER nothing happens. I tried making it non-silent and the terminal showed python: can't open file 'timer.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Please let me know if I can help figuring this issue out :)

List all current timer items

It'd be great that we can list all current timer item and having an ability to cancel them :)

What do you guys think ?

Turn off audio

Thanks so much for creating this workflow. I can see myself using this a lot.

Is there a way to turn off or change the audio notification?

Thanks.
