And I'm not trying to answer to every user cases. I absolutely agree with your last sentence. So, would copying the magnet link to the clipboard helpful? Scripts could then catch it up. I don't mind adding something at all, I just want to understand the issue, and add it correctly. Yeah but the workflow isn't outputting the magnet link. I'd really like that to be seen as a problem for users to solve for themselves. via a script).Īdding a custom command option is certainly helpful.įor my part, I just don't want to live in a world where users expect every workflow author to add custom opening logic because for some reason or another, they aren't happy with the way they've set up their own system. Personally I find it more annoying to check in the browser when I need it rather than having the Transmission app running in the background and sending a notification once it's downloaded but ok I see your addition to CLI clients, some people use seedboxes (at home or elsewhere), so they need to send magnet links/torrents to a different machine (e.g. With your workflow + transmission-cli I can have my downloads delivered at the proper folder in the most alfredish way, which means no browser, no Terminal, no third-party GUI apps, just the Alfred panel.

Or better than that, just create a bookmark for this URL and use Alfred to open it.

You will have a functional web Transmission GUI. Not a problem, just type 127.0.0.1:9091 in your browser's address bar. "Oh, but I want to check the download progress sometimes and I don't want to type a command in Terminal for this". It will be downloaded in your ~/Downloads folder. No GUI, no distractions. Just add your torrent and forget about it. The main and obvious advantage of the CLI is the same of Alfred: you can do tasks without a GUI.
