ScratchPad workflow

[cands]

Thanks for all the great Alfred workflows you've created, they have been very helpful and stable over several years. I think the ScratchPad workflow is a gem. Unfortunately it does not work anymore on Alfred 5.1.4 [2195] and macOS 13.5. I get the following error message in Alfred debugger:

Hi, I'm glad you like it. I've updated it for the latest version of Alfred and PHP. It is working on my system with PHP 8.1 installed. I'm assuming you have the latest PHP installed as well. If not, let me know and I will translate the script for a more standard configuration. But, since your error output is saying that the PHP usage is deprecated, you must be using the newer version already. You can get the updated workflow here: https://github.com/raguay/MyAlfred/blob/master/Alfred%205/ScratchPad.alfredworkflow Richard

Thank you very much, I confirm that it is working now!

Just another question regarding this workflow, the handling of umlaut characters does not seem ideal, this is a minor thing but if it would be easy for you to fix it would make the workflow even more convenient. For example, for the Swedish word "hallå" (hello) the umlaut character should be (as copied from Vim character info) "<å> 229, \345, U+00E5 LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH RING ABOVE" but when using the ScratchPad workflow instead becomes "<a> 97, \141, U+0061 LATIN SMALL LETTER A <°> 778, U+030A COMBINING RING ABOVE".

Just updated the routine to check for proper UFT8 encoding and convert if not. It seems to work for me, but I don't use your language. It's great with Thai. Please give it a try. Richard

Thanks a lot for looking into it. Unfortunately, is still does not work for Swedish characters (which it should with proper UTF-8 encoding, however the behavior is the same as before). Nevertheless, it is still a very useful workflow (I also write a lot in English), thanks again for creating it and keeping it updated.
