Support for Alfred 3?

[JonDror]

Hi,

Workflow updater doesn't show any notification - fear that it might not work anymore.

Is Alfred V.3 supported?

I haven't tested it against Alfred 3 yet. Theoretically it should still work. I do have another version which is a complete rewrite in the works. That one will definitely work for v3.

[JonDror]

I guess I'll wait for the new version.
Will be happy to help test it if needed

Looking forward to the update!

I am also looking forward to the update. Currently Packal does not work on my El Capitan System and Alfred 3 at all.

Hey @JonDror, I think that you should reopen this issue since it is still unresolved, and anyone viewing the issues tab of this repository should know that Alfred 3 support is on its way.

So I checked the output today when running Packal, since today I finally had the presence of mind to try again after, say, updating to Alfred 3...

ahem

And the tl;dr? The directories and files for Alfred have different names between version 2 and version 3... As in the ones being called don't exist now.

Hopefully this'll help, bc I really did use this a LOT....

Try:

cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/
ln -s "Alfred 3" "Alfred 2"
cd ../Caches/
ln -s com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred-3 com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred-2
cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/Alfred\ 3/Workflow\ Data/com.packal/
rm manifest.xml
wget https://raw.github.com/packal/repository/master/manifest.xml

@klebercabral Thanks, it worked like a charm!

[mdeboer]

@klebercabral since the last commit in master the manifest.xml is empty. Are they abandoning the manifest file or has something simply gone wrong on their end?

Also the search function on the Packal site is still broken (PHP error) for quite a while now. It kinda feels Packal is being abandoned..

[shawnrice]

The search thing was something that I was working on. But I've just been really strapped for time. I'll check into the blank manifest, which is quite a bit more critical.

[mdeboer]

@klebercabral that's not my point 😉 I saw the manifest in the other commits and they seem fine. However, as packal-updater (and probably others) depend on the latest manifest file for updates, they will now show there are no updates.

@shawnrice No worries, feel free to send me a message so we can discuss what work needs to be done. I'd be happy to help you getting it up and running. One thing I'd also like is being able to search on bundleID or link to bundleID's directly instead of workflow name (which are not unique). This simplifies linking to specific workflows programmatically.

It's 2018, is this repo (or packal) still maintained please? If not, is there any alternatives?

@sfdye Seems like to be dead with no reaction from @shawnrice.
