Creating a new tag

[garymh]

Hi - this might be a dumb question, but I'm a little confused on how you enter the tag section. Typing the harvest keyword brings up:

but after that, hitting return on the Tags section just closes the Alfred window. Typing any arguments (harvest tag) just goes to my default search...

I'm using Python 3.12.2 and pillow 10.2.0_1

Hi @garymh

I'll try to figure out what's causing the issue. Could you give me the Alfred logs ?

[garymh]

Sure!

really strange, could you confirm me that you have version 1.3.0 of the workflow ?

When I trigger harvest :

I am seeing this :

From there you can create tags and associate it to emojis.

[garymh]

Oh weird... hmm. Yep, I have version 1.3.0. Something might be configured differently in Alfred... or in Python?

[BenjaminOddou]

could you check that you have tags-en.json file here : ~/Library/Application Support/Alfred/Workflow Data/com.benjamino.emoji_wineand also please check for any error in the workflow logs located here ~/Library/Caches/com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred/Workflow Data/com.benjamino.emoji_wine

[garymh]

Yep- I have tags-en.json:

~/L/Application Support/Alfred/Workflow Data/com.benjamino.emoji_wine
❯ cat tags-en.json
   1   []

My emoji_wine.log file is:

  1   2024-02-26 12:36:07,687 - ERROR - unimplemented feature
   2   2024-02-26 20:20:22,459 - ERROR - unimplemented feature

   5   2024-02-26 20:42:28,073 - ERROR - unimplemented feature

[BenjaminOddou]

Could you try to refresh your API ?

[garymh]

Weirdly, this started happening - I used to be able to get the initial list of emoji

[BenjaminOddou]

Yes I think something is not configured correctly but I can't really know what's happening. How did you install python ? Could you also give me the new logs ? Could you maybe try to reinstall the workflow (just to make sure). I'll try my best to debug.

[garymh]

I installed Python via homebrew. I uninstalled it via command line and then reinstalled it through Alfred, but nothing. I reinstalled the workflow several times after clearing out ~/Library/Application Support/Alfred/Workflow Data/com.benjamino.emoji_wine and ~/Library/Caches/com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred/Workflow Data/com.benjamino.emoji_wine

The only log I get is the ERROR - unimplemented feature line...

[garymh]

It must be something with convert_emoji_to_png- I commented out the call on line 94 of api.py and everything worked perfectly. 🤔

[BenjaminOddou]

Ok then. Could you confirm me that you don't have any emojis icons when you trigger wine ? There might be something with pillow but as you seems to have the latest version 🤔. Could you also check that you have the emoji font here /System/Library/Fonts/Apple Color Emoji.ttc. I put that raw meaning I expect it's always available under this path, but maybe on newer Macs (I have an intel chip) the path is different ?

[garymh]

Some of the emoji icons appear, I'm not sure if they're sorted but it stops at "person facing right".

Yep- emoji font is in the same place. I am on an M1 though

[BenjaminOddou]

mhh kind of weird. Is it possible that the emojis without icons are emojis from unicode 15.1 ? There aren't available yet but the unicode is already in the api since end of 2023 (see this article). But it shouldn't be a problem, for me it looks like this:

Could you delete these elements from the cache folder ~/Library/Caches/com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred/Workflow Data/com.benjamino.emoji_wine before refreshing the API ?

EDIT : Could you try this python script ?

from PIL import Image, ImageDraw, ImageFont

def convert_emoji_to_png(emoji):
    image_size = (74 , 74) # set image size
    image = Image.new("RGBA", image_size, (0, 0, 0, 0))  # Set transparent background
    font_size = 64  # Adjusted font size
    font_path = "/System/Library/Fonts/Apple Color Emoji.ttc"
    font = ImageFont.truetype(font_path, font_size, encoding='unic')
    draw_position = (int((image_size[0] - font_size) / 2), int((image_size[1] - font_size) / 2))
    draw = ImageDraw.Draw(image)
    draw.text(draw_position, emoji, font=font, embedded_color=True)
    image.show()

try:
    convert_emoji_to_png("🚶‍➡️")
except Exception as e:
    print(e)

it should render this

[garymh]

Same result after dumping the cache 😞

Oh, but the python script did:

❯ python3 test.py
unimplemented feature

[garymh]

it possible that the emojis without icons are emojis from unicode 15.1

I think you might be on to something! 🍄 works but 🚶‍➡️does not. I wonder if it's because there's a modifier on that one?

I'm not sure how emoji works, but is there an emoji + skin tone modifier in Unicode?

[BenjaminOddou]

I can fix that by just ignoring emojis that fails to be converted into images, or assign them a default image. Also, is there any improvement in the tags section (that was the original subject 🙃)?

Yes some of the codes can be "merged" as one emoji (👋 + 🏻 = 👋🏻, see here). When the Unicode consortium approved an emoji, each platform (Google, Facebook, Apple) can integrate these codes with a design. Note that the design can change over the years but not the codes.

What I still find weird is : why the behavior is different ? Maybe we can create a GitHub issue in the pillow repo. I can do that if you can provide :

• The python version (3.12.2) ?
• The pillow version (10.2.0) ?
• The MacOS version
• Your chip

Yep! Disabling the line here let me run everything correctly. Definitely seemed to be a unicode hangup.

Yeah, that's very strange. I'm wondering if macOS changed something recently too. Here's my info:

Python 3.12.2
pillow stable 10.2.0
macOS 14.4
Apple M1 Max

[BenjaminOddou]

@garymh it should be fix in the v1.4.0. Emojis that fails to be converted should have this icon :

[garymh]

Awesome!! Thanks for the help, Benjamin!!
