# Typinator Set Converter

Alfred file action for converting Typinator sets to Alfred snippet collections

The workflow supports only Typinator sets exported as plain text files.


(.tyset and .typubset are proprietary binary formats and cannot be read)

 

When converting Typinator snippets, the workflow replaces Typinator’s cursor marker `{^}` with Alfred’s cursor placeholder `{cursor}`.


Other Typinator markers are not supported.

 

The workflow uses [OneUpdater](https://github.com/vitorgalvao/alfred-workflows/tree/master/OneUpdater) for automatic updates.

### Installation

Download and install the [latest release](https://github.com/targumanu/Typinator-Set-Converter/releases/latest).

### Usage

- Select one or more Typinator snippet sets exported as plain text files

- Invoke Alfred’s file actions pane `⌥⌘\`

- Select `Convert Typinator Sets`

- Press `↵`

### Options

The configuration options are set using the workflow’s environment variables.

All the configuration variables, except “prefix” and “suffix”, are “pseudo-Boolean”:

- “True”, “yes” or “1” are case-insensitively interpreted as `true`

- Any other value or no value means `false`

| Configuration Variable | Functionality                                                |

| :--------------------- | :----------------------------------------------------------- |

| `customicon`           | Use the workflow’s custom icon for created snippet collections |

| `dontautoexpand`       | Disable automatic expansion for all snippets                 |

| `dontcompress`         | Do not compress the folder containing the converted snippets.
This option may be useful, if you want to make some manual changes to converted snippets.
To compress manually, just zip the folder and change its extension from `zip` to `alfredsnippets` |

| `noprefix`             | Do not use any prefixes for converted sets.
Even if all keywords in a set have the same prefix, they will remain unchanged, and no prefix will be added to this set’s preferences. |

| `nosuffix`             | Do not use any suffixes for converted sets.
Even if all keywords in a set have the same suffix, they will remain unchanged, and no suffix will be added to this set’s preferences. |

| `prefix`               | Force the specified prefix for all converted snippet sets.
The specified prefix will be added to the preferences of converted snippet sets.
If a snippet keyword has the specified prefix, it will be removed from the keyword.
For example, if you set `prefix` to “//”, then “//keyword” will become “keyword”. |

| `suffix`               | Force the specified suffix for all converted snippet sets.
The specified suffix will be added to the preferences of converted snippet sets.
If a snippet keyword has the specified suffix, it will be removed from the keyword
For example, if you set `suffix` to “//”, then “keyword//” will become “keyword”). |
