Just popping this into the "Share your Workflows" section so that others can enjoy it

As far as I know, Thunderbird doesn't make its data available for searching, so I don't think it'll be possible (though if Thunderbird has evolved, I hope someone will pop their head in to help) As far as Mail goes, I'd suggest switching off things like "Store draft messages on server" (under Accounts > Mail Behaviour) for any accounts you have, which might ease things a bit as it won't connect every three seconds. You should then be ok to use the Mail workflow.

Having said that, if you want to simply remove one entry from your clipboard history, you can do so by pressing Function + Backspace.

I had a brief chat with someone at Daylite who pointed me to these developer docs: https://www.marketcircle.com/daylite/apidocs/ So for those who like Daylite, this is a starting point

Hi Carlo, Could you please fill in your Powerpack email address in your forum profile? It's only visible to me (as administrator) and allows us to confirm your Powerpack status. Once this is done, we'll be happy to answer your workflow question. Thanks!

Could you give an example of a file and its location? If you can provide some more details, I'll be happy to help you out. The file type you're looking for may not be part of Alfred's defaults, so if you prefix your search with the keyword "open" (or press the spacebar as a shortcut for this keyword). You can see the basic file search keywords in the first section of this page: http://support.alfredapp.com/features:file-search Let me know how you get on

To clarify what Andrew said earlier, all results CAN be found and you can indeed customise Alfred to find as broad or as narrow a search scope as you need. The defaults have changed very slightly in v2, benefitting the vast majority of users by removing noise (from unwanted files in ~/Library/ in your Home folder, for example - but you can add this back in to Alfred's default scope). The best way to have instant access to everything "right darn now", as curmudgeon puts it, is to create a file filter workflow. By creating a file filter workflow, you can keep your default results tidy so that the essentials like Apps, Folders and Contacts are found instantly with nothing getting in the way the 99% of the time you need to perform a normal search. Yet when using your filter, you can search your entire Mac, including all file types and locations. I've created a filter for you as an example, with the keyword "all". If you have a look, you'll see that it searches your whole Mac HD, including System Files*. You'll see that results are filled with various library files, so if there are more specific file types you'd like to specify, open the workflow and drag in the relevant file types in the Basic Setup of the File Filter object. * Note that Alfred and Spotlight don't include System Files in search results by default, but I wanted to include them in the workflow to provide you with an example. Uncheck the box in the File Filter object > Search Scope to remove these.

These are just some default standard folders. If you start typing the name of a folder, it'll show up in the list below. Once you select it, Alfred will remember it for next time For example, I regularly move stuff to Dropbox and, having searched for and selected Dropbox once before, it now shows in my list of folders for "Move to..."

Hi there, Could you please fill in your Powerpack details in your user profile? We'll then be able to provide support on your question about 1Password. If you're unsure how to add your Powerpack email address, please drop us an email on info@alfredapp com and I'll be happy to help you out

With the Powerpack, you can set your Fallback search to be the "I'm feeling lucky" Google search. You could then disable local search by removing all file types and/or search scopes, so that Alfred doesn't find local results. Alternatively, if you want to continue also using Alfred normally, you could also create a workflow that allows you to bring Alfred up with a hotkey with the "lucky" keyword pre-filled in. This is the option I'd recommend as it doesn't hinder you from also using Alfred for local file searches

It is significantly more efficient to use a workflow to search email than to add it to default results. If your email influx is anything like mine, I wouldn't recommend adding these thousands of emails adding noise to default results! I've created a workflow for searching Mail.app emails, which you can grab here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5h3djhw2thf8xjp/Mail.app Search 3.0.alfredworkflow?dl=0 In short, this workflow uses three keywords: emfrom to search the sender's name and email address em for a general subject + content search emsubj to search specifically for a subject line So you'd type "emfrom Ryan" to look for an email where the sender's name or email address contains "Ryan".

Are any of the hotkeys working when you're showing the Mini Player? e.g. Ctrl + Cmd + up arrow for random tracks or Ctrl + Cmd + down arrow to play/pause? It's possible that one or some hotkeys are clashing with either workflows you've created or any hotkeys you've set for features like OS X's Mission Control. Let me know how you get on

Go to Features > Calculator > Input, and set your Input to "use decimal point as separator" if you want Alfred to only accept 10.3 as ten point three, or comma as separator if you want 10,3 to be the input format for the same thing. If you want Alfred to accept both formats, set it to "Use decimal point and comma as separator".

Are you referring to the input (what you type) or the output (what is shown below your text box)? Here are a few output examples that should help you out. To force the output to 100,000.00, set the Output to "Use decimal point as separator" and check the box for "Show delimiter for thousands" To force the output to 100.000,00, set the Output to "Use comma as separator" and check the box for "Show delimiter for thousands" With these options, your results will show as you want them, regardless of your system defaults.

The Output preference you're referring to is for setting the decimal separator, not the thousand separator. If you're looking to use the period as thousand separator, choose the comma as decimal separator. Moving this to closed as it isn't a bug.

[Moved to feature suggestions as this isn't a bug]

It's likely that the URLs you're seeing ignored don't have http:// or https:// prefixing the address (so may not be web URLs at all), and are ignored for that reason. Update these URLs and they'll most likely appear in the list. If that's not the case, please provide some more specific details (by email on info@alfredapp.com if you prefer not to share them publicly) and we'll take a look

Thanks for flagging it up - it's now been corrected

Alfred should learn from your selection, so it's possible that you'll need to repair permissions on your first Mac, as OS X may not be allowing Alfred to save his knowledge to disk. To do this, launch Disk Utility and click Repair Permissions for the appropriate drive. If this doesn't resolve the issue, it's possible that you're encountering a quirk in the way OS X updates dates for folders, which means that the "last used" date doesn't update when it should. One way to work around this for folders is to first reindex your Mac (via the "Rebuild OS X Metadata" button in Alfred's Advanced tab) then open Terminal and type: touch /Users/coandrew/Pictures/Screenshots From thereon in, dates should update correctly for folders on your Mac, allowing Alfred to use the "last used" as an accurate way to sort folders. Also, I would recommend excluding files like images from your default search results as we all have tons on our Macs, and this can create real clutter in search results. Instead use the "open" and "find" keywords to expand your search when you need to include more file types.

Have a look at this thread for the link to the first official 1Password 4 integration build (2.0.8 b208): http://www.alfredforum.com/topic/2881-1password-4-and-alfred-1click-bookmarks-icon/ Cheers, Vero

Hi there, Could you please fill in the Powerpack field of your forum profile before discussing Powerpack topics? Thanks, Vero

To create a custom fallback search, create a workflow with the Fallback Search trigger. Once you've created your workflow, go to Features > Default Results and set your fallback search by clicking the "Setup fallback results" button at the bottom

I'd be grateful if you could please use the forum search before asking for a new workflow in the future. There is already an existing workflow for Radium here: http://www.alfredforum.com/topic/859-control-radium-3-from-alfred/?hl=radium Cheers, Vero

So that fellow Alfred users can help you out, you may want to provide links to the software or hardware you're using, as there are quite a few apps and hardware called EyeTV out there. The more information you provide, the easier it'll be for other users to help you create a workflow (if possible at all). Cheers, Vero

Have you had a look at snippets? If you're copying the URL to your clipboard, you could create a snippet with dynamic content (http://support.alfredapp.com/kb:using-dynamic-placeholders-in-snippets) <a href="{clipboard}">KEYWORD</a> Assuming your latest copied item is the URL, you would get everything filled in except the keyword, which you would then need to add manually. Beyond this, you could also look at creating a workflow where a script parses your content and pastes to clipboard the format you need
