macosxguru Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Could you explain how this works. Please. Macosxguru Link to comment
spacecadet9 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 This is really rather awesome... I can see myself using it a lot. Thanks Link to comment
ahmadt Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 Very useful workflow! Is it possible to add this feature: If there are no open/save dialogs open, make the directory open in Finder instead. I think one of the scripts here has similar functionality (this, plus the opening in Finder instead if no open/save dialogs are out). The script in question is Carlos-Sz's Recent Items workflow (http://www.alfredforum.com/topic/713-recent-items-40-docs-folders-apps-custom-categories-favorites-interaction-with-opensave-dialogs-and-more/), and the functionality is in "alt" modifier of the "fav" script filter. Hi I'm not expert in AppleScript, but you can go ask Alfred to open any folder if no open/save dialogs is available In Alfred window just type 'Folder_Name then hit enter and it will open the folder in Finder Link to comment
paulw Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Fantastic! Really the only reason I have Default Folder X installed. Now I can just use this. Link to comment
2pilvic Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 It could include images to explain how it works? Please Link to comment
Empyreal Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 I'm a QS -> Alfred immigrant, too. I love QS, but having to learn ObjC in order to add modules is a show stopper to me. Love this workflow, ahmadt. Thanks for having created it. Quick question, but can you invoke a File Action with a keyboard shortcut? Say I've got a save dialog open in Atom, and I browse for a directory in Alfred, can I configure it so that when the selected directory is show in Alfred, I can just hit something like Shift-Cmd-G to tell Alfred to run that File Action?

deanishe Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 @Empyreal: A File Action is just a trigger: it doesn't do anything on its own. You can add a Hotkey trigger and connect it to the same action the File Action is connected to. Set the Hotkey's argument to "Selection in macOS" and it should work. Link to comment

How do you stop using "Default Folder X"?. Could you explain how this works. Please. Thank you Edited July 4, 2017 by 2pilvic Link to comment

kodiak Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 This is easily one of the best workflows ever, but it doesn't work in Adobe Photoshop. Any idea why? Link to comment
