Alfred Mac Integration
Hello all,
I've created an Alfred workflow to integrate with Logos and I figured some of you may be interested in it.
The current version allows you to open a few bible versions to a specific passage and search your library.
You can grab the latest version here: https://github.com/vmitchell85/logos-alfred-workflow
I'm also working on being able to search your library within Alfred. Here is a sneak peek:
Would love any feedback or suggestions.
Thanks,
- Vince

Well I finished up that search feature last night, it's available here: https://github.com/vmitchell85/logos-alfred-workflow
Eager to hear if it works as well for others as it does for me.
Thanks for this, Vince!
This is a big step forward from my own simple attempt to use URL lookup without any script to clean the Bible reference.
I'd like to see the addition of some Greek and Hebrew texts and using a Filter in Alfred workflows to search and list resources to open in Logos, optionally supplying a term to use Logos to search within the chosen resource. Someday I'll make an attempt to do this if someone like you doesn't beat me to it. :-)

Hi Vince,
the workflow works pretty well, thank you for the sharing.
meanwhile, is it possible to add "copy/paste" function into the workflow, so that one may search a passage or ranges and at the same time the searched passage being copy into clipboard for paste into word document without leaving the workflow.
Thank you for the help.

I do not think this is possible. Logos uses a sqlite database to keep track of resources, which is what I use for searching resources. I then use what is called "deep links" to get Logos to open Resources and Passages. Once i've handed the request off via a "deep link" I can no longer interact with it.
If Logos adds any AppleScript hooks then I would be able to do more, but at this time I'm not sure of a method to do any copy/paste.
Unfortunately, I don't have either of those.
The database is located here:
/Users/[USER NAME]/Library/Application Support/Logos4/Data/[ONLY FOLDER THERE]/LibraryCatalog/catalog.db
I look only in the records table and in the following columns when attempting to open:
If you wanted to search in that file and see if those resources are there you can use TablePlus which should show you all the data if you open the catalog.db file with it.
I would say you could send the database file to me, but I'm not sure there isn't sensitive information stored in other tables so I don't think that would be a good idea.
I've uploaded a preRelease version here that I think will work with mac OS Monterey:
https://github.com/vmitchell85/logos-alfred-workflow/releases/tag/1.0.0-rc
Please give it a go and report back on this GitHub Issue (or here if you don't want to deal with GitHub):

You will have to figure out the Logos short version of the bible, then enter it for the Preferred Bible.
You can see a screenshot on GitHub: https://github.com/vmitchell85/logos-alfred-workflow
If you can't get it working create an issue on GitHub and I'll try to get it setup for you.
Thanks,

Hi Vince, I continue to use, and depend upon, this integration every day. It's a critical part of my work and a huge blessing, so thank you!
You asked for suggestions a while back, but this might be unsolicited now... nevertheless, is there any way you could add functionality to copy/paste verses directly from the Alfred dialogue box, without having to look up the verse, CMD+J, then paste it into word etc.?
I hope that's clear...
Thanks
Vince,
Thank you so much for making this tool. It's made Logos twice as useful for me as far as I am concerned!
I created a version of this for French, a bit of a "frankenstein's monster" of a workflow (I am no programmer), but it allows me to get Bible references working in French, which is neat.
Thanks again!
I know this is a bit old, but your idea really inspired me, and I wanted to share that inspiration: GitHub Link.
