Rank default unit conversions better about alfred-converter HOT 7 CLOSED

I've disabled a bunch of units and added the option to specify a blacklist through the alfred variables.

If you add kelvin to that list you won't see it anymore :)

Additionally, if the units are too large/small compared to your input it won't show them anymore. So no more femtometers :)

The ranking is actually decided by Alfred. That means you can easily influence it by selecting the "correct" result a few times so it learns from your queries

It might help a bit if I only show the top 10 "close" units by default. So 1 kilometer won't show the femtometer conversion. That might help in the searching.

As for inch to inch, that's probably a side effect of the fractional versions of inches (i.e. 2.5" vs 2 1/2. That needs to go however, if it's identical it shouldn't be there.

Got it, thanks for the reply! That definitely makes sense. Also makes sense why I keep seeing this, because I never need to select the unit conversions manually.

That's a good idea about the close conversions. Would it also be possible to turn off some conversions? Maybe that would also help, but it might be difficult to implement.

Also, I apologize if I sound mad or anything! Didn't mean to come off like that.

No worries, I'm happy to see that people are using it 👍

I'm definitely going to try and improve the results a bit. It's definitely a bit too messy in some cases, but the drawback of hiding results is that it can be tricky to "guess" the conversion

Disabling of items would be an option as well but I'm not sure what would be the best format. Alfred does offer environment variables as configuration options so that could work. I'll have to think about that for a bit
