alfred-extra-pane's Issues

[Setup] ExtraPane doesnot show up

Relatively new to alfred coding here, I followed the Configuration instructions to change the json file to show the extra panel on the left, but when I define a word with the native alfred Dictionary feature, I still see the old UI without the extra pane. Am I missing something?

Extremely buggy and inefficient on Apple Silicon

Alfred extra pane hangs for over 20 seconds on first launch while being complete out of alignment. It is also always at 5-15% cpu usage despite being rarely invoked, causing a large than expected drain on battery.

extra-pane panel rendering html as Latin-1 instead of utf-8

When writing unicode characters (>255) like å or ñ the extra pane appears to render them as Latin-1 instead of utf-8.

for instance the alfred script:
echo '{"items":[{"title":"test", "quicklookurl":"~/test.html"}]}'|/Applications/AlfredExtraPane.app/Contents/Resources/scripts/alfred-extra-pane

where ~/test.html is:

<html>
  <body>
    <h1>
      å
    </h1>
  </body>
</html>

results in the extrapane panel:

however the alfred quickview renders it correctly as:

FR: Syncing `config.json` should be located in Alfred Preferences Location

Thank you so much for the recent updates, they work wonderfully!

Would it be possible to put the config.json into the Alfred Preferences folder, maybe instead of a folder in the user library? Reason being that when you use Alfred on more than one device and sync your Alfred Preferences, it's a bit of a hassle to also manually sync the config.json.

Like, it's not impossible by using something like symlinks. Nonetheless, it would make much more sense to have an Alfred-related config file located in the Alfred Preferences folder, for example as …/Alfred.alfredpreferences/AlfredExtraPane-config.json.

Mute extra-pane, e.g. for video URLs

Using some workflows, such as the Chrome History search, results in the extra-pane opening a URL to a video site like youtube.

Not only do they auto-play (which isn't that big of a deal), but they also by default have audio. Suddenly getting full-blown sounds while going through your browser history is really a bit irritating 🙈

I think as a preview-window, it'd make sense to have any opened URLs be muted?

Can you share your configuration for the dark mode dictionary extraPane from the your landing page?

I'm not really into coding but could you share this in an easy way?

FR: rounded corners?

Mostly an aesthetic thing, but would it be possible for the extra pane to have rounded corners, like with the Alfred window itself? My Alfred window having rounded corners and the pane having sharp corners feels somewhat visually unpleasing.

(btw, only noticed today that it works super well with my workflow for Reddit! That was a welcome surprise, thank you so much for this :) )

Adjust Pane Width

The extra pane is rather squished to the side for me, being able to adjust the width would be quite useful

Python error: no such file or directory

I'm getting the following error despite having python & python3 installed on my system. How do I change where AlfredExtraPane looks for python? In Monterey 12.3.1 it should be /usr/local/bin/python not usr/bin/python.

./search.sh: AlfredExtraPane.app/Contents/Resources/scripts/alfred-extra-pane: /usr/bin/python: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

Does not show on Apple Silicon

I just downloaded the newest release alfred-better-dictionaries, but I've been unable to get the extra pane to show up at all. I can see that the application shows up in Activity Monitor, and I can even watch the cpu usage go up when I use the workflow.

M2 Macbook
macOS 13.6.1
Alfred 5.5 [2257]
alfred-better-dictionaries 0.2.14

How do I uninstall this program?

Need to provide uninstall method

Alignment Issue on Dual Monitor Setup

I recently opened an issue on the Better Dictionaries repo mr-pennyworth/alfred-better-dictionaries#12 but later found out the problem was actually due to the Extra Pane. I have a dual monitor setup combining my Macbook and an external display. When I unplug the external display, the app seems to work nicely. On the other hand, when the external display is on I have some issues. As I stated on my previews issue, this does not seem to be a problem with the choice of theme.

Better Dictionaries
For example, when I open the Better Dictionaries on my external display, the word preview doesn't show up (as shown on the referred issue)

When I open it on the MacBook screen, the alignment does not seem right.

AsciiMath
When using the AsciiMath workflow, even if I open Alfred on my external display, the LaTeX preview still shows up on my MacBook screen.

Fix width / transparency

x: alfred.minX,

This should take alfred.MinX and add alfreds width to it. So that you only draw your program to the right side of alfred. We don't want to draw behind alfred.

x: alfred.minX + alfred.Width
