I’ve modified Dr. Drang’s SnapClip for use with Alfred. You should start by reading about his use with Keyboard Maestro.
Dr. Drang’s script requires access to four non-standard utilities, all of which must be installed for this to work properly.
First, download Pashua. You will also need to install the Pashua
bindings for python. I’ve installed this in my ~/src/python folder.
Second, you’ll need Pillow, which can probably just be installed with
pip install pillow or similar.
Third, you’ll need Alec Jacobson’s impbcopy. Dr. Drang is hosting a binary that you might be able to just download, and I’ve created a separate repository with the source code.
Fourth, you’ll need OptiPNG, which is
available on Homebrew with brew install optipng.
With those preliminaries out of the way, you’ll also need to install the
Alfred Workflow in this repository. It has a hard dependency on
snapclip.py, which is also in this repository. If you put everything in a
repository at ~/src/python/snapclip/ then it should “just work.”
Several things make this script less portable, but the two that stand out are Pashua and OptiPNG. Neither is strictly necessary. Pashua could be replace by tkinter, which is available by default on most python installs. OptiPNG could simply be disabled or only used when present. These are things I probably won’t do, but I would be happy to merge.
