Several people have mentioned this issue. I've been putting it off for a while coz I've been busy but I'll try to get this resolved this week. Making a note of it now

I'm not a big Roboform user. I've been using 1Password for years but, I did quickly install Roboform to take a look around. I'm not sure if a workflow to integrate would be possible for Roboform or not. Just taking a quick peek, I wasn't able to find a local Roboform data file that could be read/parsed.

It sounds like a good solution for this would be a File Filter workflow. In the Alfred workflows area, click to create a new a new workflow. The quickest way to get going to is select the "File filter from keyword and open" template. Once selected, double click the File Filter item and set your keyword and description. Click the Search Scope tab and then drag and drop your root folder in the Search Scope area. Now, with that done, you have a keyword to search and show results ONLY in your root folder or subdirectories of it. Selecting an item will open it using the default application. If you want to take it one step further, double click the Open File item and drag and drop Sublime Text into there. That will make results shown from this search automatically open in Sublime Text rather than the default application. Let me know if this is more of the workflow that you were looking for. Have a great holiday!

You COULD make a workflow for this if you wanted, but this is actually something that can be accomplished very easily with Alfred already (assuming that I'm understanding what you want tot do). With the root folder or any folder selected in Alfred as a result item, press the right arrow, select Open With and then type a few letters to limit the final item down to Sublime Text. That would open whatever file or folder you have selected in Alfred. You could also do this from Finder by selecting the item and then pressing Cmd+Opt+\ and performing the same actions. There are several other ways you could configure this to work that may also make things a little easier/more convenient. If you could, try the method I mentioned and see if that's what you were looking for. If not, let me know and I'll help you get to the solution you're looking for.

Alfred's 1Password functionality is limited to launching urls saved in the login items section of 1Password only. That being said, I'm not entirely sure how you are seeing the result item that you are mentioning unless its something that is incorrectly categorized in 1Password.

Sorry it took me a while to get back to ya. You were working on this... a little before I got out of bed 2:40am is a little early for me ha. Glad you got it worked out

Have you checked your escaping options to ensure that they are set correctly? It could be escaping spaces in the file path and then when you have it set to save "{query}" its maintaining the actual \ to escape as part of the path which, could cause an issue. Or, if it's not escaping the spaces, putting the command in back ticks... The file path may need to be in quotes. Try adding an output->large type, or an output->notification and echo the values of a few of your variables and ensure that they contain the expected values.

Have you added any other drives to Alfred's default search scope? Perhaps an external drive?

Sure it is. Press Cmd+Down Arrow to navigate down into the selected item. This also works in Alfred's default search results

Theoretically yes, you could but this workflow would have to be adjusted a good bit since its not just using AppleScript to grab the current path there. It's using the current selection or a result action to grab the current path. If there is no selection, it just doesn't do anything. One way you could get around this is just to select a file on the desktop and then use the hotkey.

Haven't messed with the mysql part yet but the newlines.... try replacing echo with printf and it should work but you'll need a \n at the end of each one to have all of those commands on a new line, otherwise, it prints them all on one line

I know nothing about perl but doing a simple.. $i = "{query}"; print $i; Seemed to work when passing to a notification. In the notification, set the message to {query}

PHP can be configured to use a proxy but its something that, if your network configuration required it, would require the end user to go in and edit a config file or something to make it work, and then php read that and try. To my knowledge, you can't just say "hey php, use the global proxy settings set on this mac". It would be extremely convenient if you could, but I'm not sure that it's possible.

Thanks for pitching in and helping with this Tyler

You sir are absolutely correct. I went back looking and the previous was possible but it was probably after adding a few search scopes and such. The reason these things don't show by default is because they are located off of ~/Library/ which only specific folders there are marked for search by default. The easiest way to do this is with file filters to prevents having massive amounts of results when you try to look for something specific. I made the workflow for you, download it here. Install it and just type 'mail <search term>' or 'chat <search term>' to search Mail.app or iMessage conversations

Sure it can! I could explain it but I think Andrew's example would be a really good starting point so, take a peak at it because it would be a great example of doing this. In the workflows area, click the + in the workflows list, and select Examples->Should I watch this movie? This workflow takes input and opens several search pages from the single input all at once. If you take a look at it and still need a little help, let me know and I'd be glad to help out

This should work using the File Filter item. Is there somewhere you could share the workflow so that I could take a look at it? If not, you could email it to me, david @ alfredapp

When i said "open tel:" or "open sip:" I was referring to using it as a bash command. In this way, tel: and sip: are known schemes just like mailto:, http:, ftp:, etc. As far as your question about a regular expression here, and in the other post, if you were to grab the phone number using the contact action and setting it to the phone number field, just attach the Contact Action in the workflow to a Run Script item and run your regex there and then do "open" to run it.

Anything you can do in terminal, or via script can be done in Alfred, so yes. You may have to pass it through a script first, but most of it is usually possible one way or another

mmmm.. are you sure about this? Looking at it really quick, it looks like Messages.app stores chat history in ~/Library/Messages/chat.db. That folder isn't included in Alfred's default search scope so it wouldn't show results for that normally. Even if it did, I could be wrong on this but I don't think Spotlight indexes the contents of SQLite databases which is what that file is. Seems like I do vaguely remember this being possible before but not 100% sure on it. But, I think that was back when Message.app was beta and I think it stored the chat logs differently. I think it used to store them in your ~/Documents folder as text files which would have made a lot more sense that you could search them with Alfred. That being said that, it's not a difference in upgrading from Alfred 1.x to Alfred 2, it came as a result of upgrading OS and/or upgrading versions of Messages.app I think.

I doubt there would be a way to just save it off as a webloc built in to the AppleScript dictionary for it but may I ask what the end goal is for this? why do you want to save them as webloc? Are you wanting to be able to search through saved items or something? Also, it's been a little while since I've done it but, webloc files are just xml so you could grab the data you want, create a little xml string (in applescript or however you're doing it) and write that to a file. Wouldn't think it would be too difficult.

Drop to a terminal and do a 'which php' and see which version its using by default. See if it's /usr/bin/php, thats the default. Another thing you could do is to open the folder for those workflows and try to run them from the command line and see if they work properly that way. For instance, with Tyler's colors workflow, open the folder where the files are stored (right click on the workflow in Alfred and select "Show in Finder", then you can select a file, press Cmd+Opt+\ and select "Open Terminal Here"). Once you are at a prompt where the files are, try running if manually like this: php -f colors.php -- 'ffffff' 'hex' It should return some XML that would have been the results provided back to Alfred. Did this work as expected? Were there any additional errors? You should received ONLY xml back. If there is anything else, report back what it is. If the result of 'which php' was something other than /usr/bin/php, then try running the same command above by specifying that original version instead of whatever the current is. You can do this by specifying the full path to it.. so, in the command above, instead of just typing 'php ...' do '/usr/bin/php -f colors.php .....' Let us know what the outcome of this stuff is

I signed up for a free account on one of the sip providers just to test stuff and also found documentation to back this up but, opening a link using sip: or tel: should work fine so.. your idea of creating a contact action should work fine. Just make the contact action do.. open tel:{query} or open sip:{query} where query would be the contacts info passed to it.

Ah cool, gald you like it.

Try this Should grab whats in the clipboard, save that, grab the current selection, restore the clipboard, then tell alfred to search for what was selected
