Following the tips, I create a Writer Pro workflow containing four File Filters that search for documents in different state by its search scope. One of the tips for Alfred Powerpack users is to combine related actions into one workflow. Remove the rest of file types and add note as the only readable file type in nVALT.
You can click the hidden plus (+) beside the minus (−) to add more file types into the list. If you’re on Mavericks, head over to preferences and find the hidden setting under Notes » Storage » Extension.
Therefore I need to configure nVALT so it only reads the documents with note file extension.įortunately, nVALT has a setting that lets me choose which file extension are included in the storage. I used to separate the notes in Note state from the rest of states by telling nVALT to only read notes from ~/Dropbox/Notes/Note/ folder, however, I’m unable to do the same since documents in every state are inside the same folder. When the note carries enough potential and information as an article, I change the document’s workflow state from Note to Write to indicate that I’ll be working on a new piece of writing soon. NVALT, also known as my idea bank, is my favorite app to quickly jot down ideas - it’s the most powerful tool to work with plain text documents. Finish the setup by sorting the documents by kind to group same workflow state together. Since iA Writer Pro distinguishes the documents’ workflow state by file extension, I can move the documents into a folder at ~/Dropbox/Notes where I store plain text documents. ~/Library/Mobile Documents/27N4MQEA55~pro~writer/Documents/ You can find the documents in iCloud in the following path: I turn off iCloud for iA Writer Pro and move the documents to Dropbox. I avoid storing documents in iCloud because I’ve lost an entire Ember library due to the sync problem. Each workflow state has a matching new document icon that follows the cursor color - this approach adds character to iA Writer Pro, I can also use it to tell the documents’ workflow state from a quick glance.Īnother major feature in iA Writer Pro for iOS is Dropbox sync support. The moment I update iA Writer Pro, it‘ll move documents stored in iCloud out of its folder and change the file extension according to its workflow state as following: note, md, edit, and read. If you’ve followed my setup to sync Writer Pro to Dropbox, this guide will show you how I adapt the update to my writing workflow. Information Architects has released an updated version of iA Writer Pro which adds Dropbox sync and develops a new way to handle workflow state - instead of placing documents inside different folders, now it changes the file extension.
