I know you mentioned that the workflow can't do this (yet) in your readme, but I wanted to add it as an official feature request. :)

Hey, I realized that all the actions in alfred2-layout couldn't work properly after my OS update from OSX EI Capitan to OSX Sierra.

I've tried other similar workflows and found alfred3 cannot operate any window resize actions.
div and layouts v2.0

I noticed this shouldn't be the truth since someone has discussed about this.
#12 #13 #15

And I'm sure I've enable Alfred 3 in System's privacy settings.

I've tried disable it and re-enable it. I've tried uninstall alfred3 and re-install it, but not working still.

I open the debug info.
The action will be run by my self-defined trigger key, debug info like below.

[2017-05-14 15:34:09][trigger.hotkey] Processing output of 'action.script' with arg 'fullscreen:toggle'

but nothing happens.

And when I leave the debug window alone and say surf the internet for a while and get back to the debug info, it reveals some error info like below.

Any idea?

Thanks for reading.

It would be nice if you could create custom names for certain layouts.

Does this work on Sierra + Alfred 3?

Below is Error Message. I've tried to fix, but not familiar with Perl and macos's System Event.

What about sharing this nice workflow at packal.org. With it, it is easily for everyone (maybe someone, who did not use e.g. git) to update this workflow.

hi,

Layout has become one of my most used workflows and I was considering updating alfred to version 3 but will this workflow still work ?

Thanks

Hello,

I have an external monitor connected with my laptop. When I remove my external connection, my browser is resized correctly to my monitor. However, the browser is also visible below my dock, which is placed on the right side of the monitor.

When I choose "Lay Full", it doesn’t resize correctly and my browser is still behind the dock. However, when I try "Lay Left", and then "Lay Full", then the browser is correctly set with the dock being transparent.

Hope, the bug report is clear.

Hi,

I get the following output on a new mac

What could be wrong ? Anyone know ?

Thanks for wrote this tool! 👍

But it not works in my mac with OSX version 10.10.5, and alfred2-layout version 1.2/1.3

Below is detail info:

1. When debug in alfred, it says:
   Can't call method "position" on unblessed reference at layout.pl line 229

2. There's error in syslog:

   AppleEvents: Send port for process has no send right, port=( port:16911/0x420f rcv:1,send:0,d:0 limit:5) (findOrCreate()/AEMachUtils.cp #526) com.apple.main-thread
   

3. I found that findMainWindow returns a SCALAR(SCALAR(0x7fa5120089c0)) but not a reference.

I don't know how to fix it. Can you help to fix this issue?

I was trying to add some new layouts by editing layouts.yaml in the workflow path.
When testing the new layouts I saw that this file is never being read by the layout_select.pl script.
Only then I figured out that there's a keyword for that purpose (lay_config), but yet, when using Alfred3, this keyword's logic will create the files in a wrong path (which will still work, but won't be as nice).

Absolute paths for files, like in this line from lay_config bash script:
if [ ! -d ~/Library/Application\ Support/Alfred\ 2/Workflow\ Data/de.leanovate.alfred.layout ]; then
Makes the target files being created in wrong paths for Alfred3 users.
In addition, layout_select.pl uses this same absolute path to load custom layouts.

This issue can be easily fixed by using relative paths, Alfred runs embedded scripts from the main workflow path so ./Data/de.leanovate.alfred.layout/layouts.yaml will suite the case.

Thanks for this very useful workflow!

As title, can we add such feature to allow user move certain application's window to another screen?
It is really useful when using multiple monitors.
Thanks.

I am talking about this option :

Can't quite figure it out from the code. Thank you.

I tried to resize the browser window when surfing this website, but none of the resize actions worked....
Confirmed in Safari/Chrome/Firefox, layout ver. 1.4
FYI, the previous version worked flawlessly.

The windows do not span on the whole screen, when the automatic hiding of the menu bar is on. When using multiple displays, this seems to affect only the main one. On the other screen the windows are maximized properly.

* I got exception when i debug it*

Are there docs about how to build the src into a workflow? Maybe I just didn't search enough?

Can you add the minimize feature :)

e.g. 1280x720 oder 1920x1080 if you'r going to record a screencast.

cheers
