Standalone keyword to reset the workflow #109

Closed idpaterson closed 8 years ago

After fielding a support request on Twitter this weekend, I've finally had my fill of asking people to delete certain files at certain paths to reset their workflow. I don't like that the easiest recourse is to delete everything including your workflow preferences and even that solution requires using the Terminal or digging through Finder.

A standalone command (i.e. pure Alfred with no dependencies that can break) would save me some time in debugging and avoid deleting preferences or otherwise inconveniencing users.

The command cannot start with wl since it would appear whenever wl is typed. Instead I think _wl-reset will work. It doesn't need to be discoverable, just something I can ask people to try. It would be beneficial to have a gentler version that clears caches and nonessential data files without wiping out workflow preferences or the authentication token. Perhaps _wl-reset and _wl-full-reset.
