Version 1.0.5 corrected Issue #4: task names with apostrophes no longer throw errors.

But now any task whose name has an educated (smart) apostrophe, single quotation mark, or double quotation mark is not detected when the user inputs the portion of the task name that has those marks into Alfred.

Many users have activated OmniFocus > Edit > Substitutions > Smart Quotes, but Alfred's input generally takes only non-smartened characters ' ", and it seems that the workflow is treating those literally instead of allowing those inputs to match ‘ ’ “ “.

Example inbox tasks that yield a workflow message of "No results" unless the user explicitly types the smart marks (which is a hassle) because Alfred does not automatically correct the non-smartened marks:

  • “test”
  • the task’s test

Hmmm, an interesting one this. I don't think the old version of the workflow handled this correctly either. I'll have a think.
