I'm about to start a website for app recommendations and use your tool every day. Thank you so much. I like the standalone app, but it would be nice to set the cursor automatically in the textfield when starting the app. Is the launch bar any different in that regard?
Do you use LaunchBar? It's much more convenient and you input the string right in LaunchBar itself, no popup.
The iTunesIcon app is an automator workflow, so I have no control over the interface, unfortunately.
I use Alfred, but would give launchbar a try if that works even better with your icon app.
Oh much thanks for the Alfred love here too!!
LOL. I actually tried to hack your script into a workflow myself to no avail before reading down the comments...30 min later! Now I've learnt the one critical difference of changing the input TERM to the Alfred {query} - thanks!
I made a couple minor tweaks to the Trigger:
* seemed an appropriate time to bring out (OPT+SHIFT+k) for the Keyword!
* Enhanced the subtext to remind of the syntax:
Enter an application name [#platform] [~size]
