Are you currently using any software to sync settings to other machines such as Dropbox, Google Drive, etc? If so, then most settings could easily be restored after the reinstall by allowing all files to sync back to your machine, then setting up syncing in Alfred again. If you currently aren't using some 3rd party app to sync settings, then Alfred's preferences and settings live at ~/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/ Those settings could be copied or backed up and restored after the reinstall.

This can be done multiple ways, it just kinda depends on what exactly you want it to do. If you just want to scroll through the list of options, you could do this without a workflow by just creating numerous web searches that use the same keyword. That is the easiest thing to do. If you wanted to filter the results by typing a portion of the name, you would use a workflow. So, how would you like this to function?

To make a new window in Safari, you could do the following... Make a new workflow, add a hotkey, add a run script, set the language to osascript and enter the following code. tell application "Safari" activate make new document end tell

What is the current method used to enable/disable this?

How are the plugins activated currently? It could potentially be done with some UI scripting but we'd need to know how you currently interact with them to determine if it were possible

Are you familiar with creating Custom Searches in Alfred? Custom Searches will let you use custom urls for a site to search it from Alfred. Copy the url below and enter it into Alfred. This should import a custom search that will allow you to search the site you inquired about. The keyword for it is 'tax' and uses the same search parameters the site does. So, in Alfred you would type 'tax Public John Q' alfred://customsearch/Property%20Tax%20Search/tax/ascii/plus/http://www.jcsoky.org/ptax_search_results_name.asp?WEONM1={query}

Roger, Sorry to hear about this happening. It's certainly not a common thing. Let's check a few things.. First off, where are your workflows/preferences currently stored? The default location is ~/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/Alfred.alfredpreferences. Or, are you using Dropbox or some other application for syncing your settings? Have you tried repairing permissions? There could be a permissions issue preventing the preferences from persisting. Have you tried rebooting?

I have it working again. I still wanna iron out some kinks and such but... here's what it looks like.. Today was Renee's birthday, so everyone wish her a happy birthday

I made a binary at one point that would do this but I think the last time I tried it, it didn't work anymore. It was basically, an obj-c binary that did nothing but query the calendar api for a list of matching events within a time span. I kinda looked at it again last night, and thought about doing it with Swift but didn't get to finish it. I'll keep poking around at it.

Try unticking the option in Preferences->Features->Clipboard, Advanced Tab to disable 'Auto Paste on Return'. See if turning that off will resolve the issue

You could also go to Preferences->Features->Terminal and select 'Custom' as the Terminal application to customize the command used by Alfred. This doesn't JUST work for using another application, you can also use it to customize how the command is passed to Terminal as well.

It's really weird.. it doesn't return the folder names when you try to retrieve them. You can tell it to "get folder 'itsname'" but it doesn't show the name on the returned object. TRy something like this.. tell application "Finder" activate open folder "NAS" of folder "Network" of the computer container end tell If you don't have any shares on the NAS mounted, it will just open to that device and require authentication to the device. If you have already mounted a share on that device, it should show the list of shares.

Mail.app wouldn't be required for doing something like this. Any mail application with AppleScript support could probably do this, or you could use some other scripting to perform sending mail from the command line.

Alfred COULD run a script to do things like this but this may be something better accomplished with a cron job. Cron jobs are run automatically at login and can be set to run on a regular interval.

I took a look at your question and I believe that this CAN be done but its a bit more advanced. Essentially, the way your doing this now is with a File Filter. It's basically the same as a regular file search in Alfred, but targeted to a specific folder or kind of file. To do what you're wanting to do would require a custom Script Filter. A Script Filter allows you to generate the output that Alfred shows through scripting. With that, you could make the text of the results show anything you wanted, but requires scripting knowledge.

Try checking here: <your sync path>/Alfred.alfredpreferences/preferences/features/websearch The defaults should be located there in folders and your customs should be located within the prefs.plist there

I've never used Jdownloader2 personally but do you know if it has some form of command line interface that would allow you to pass a url in? Or does it have an AppleScript library that would provide support for doing this?

I don't have access to the latest version of Outlook but just taking a glance at the workflow you mentioned, it looks like there may be one other thing to change. Without being able to see the structure, I can't confirm that this will fix it but, let try this.. In the workflow, it also specified a file type. The workflow specified a com.microsoft.outlook14.message file type. Try navigating to the area that you know the data resides and find a file that you can confirm is an outlook message. Remove the current file type in the workflow, then drag one of the files that you believe to be a message into the file types box. It COULD be that it was attempting to filter on an outdated file type. As mentioned, this is just a guess. Let me know back how this works please.

Originally.. sudo mdutil -E -i on /Volumes/Studio resolved your issue, which I believe would be required to enable indexing on this volume again. Have you attempted using the '-i on' switch this time as well?

Not sure the issue behind this one but thought I would mention Andrew... I tried several iterations of this and noticed that if I make a script, we'll call it convert.sh that does nothing but set a variable to the output of pbpaste, echo's that, and then also writes the value to a text file also. If I copy the text mentioned above, then run the script from a terminal, I see the text echoed as expected, but the string that's written to the file (just doing a simple echo $output > log.txt) shows the string like this when I use less to view it <D2>You<D5>re smart!<D3>. There's something weird with those smart quotes. It works as expected when I used a string that didn't contain those things. I wonder if they are getting encoded somehow. The strange thing is though is that, when I call the script from alfred, i'm getting those results. Alfred calls an external script that should do the processing and just returned the cleaned up output. I guess I'm rambling at this point. Just wanted to let you know some of the stuff I tested to see if it could help you track this down.

If they don't change very often you may be better served just making a workflow that has those paths saved and just updating it when necessary. You prevent having to have edit the xml all the time, just save the project name, description, path in an array and loop that.

Click/Select the item and press the Delete key. You'll be prompted for confirmation before deletion.

This obviously isn't very secure by the way. Storing your password in plain text and, if you use some syncing service... yikes..

Have you taken a look at Alfred's Web Search functionality? I believe that it should cover the use you are looking for.

Dude.. is that an iPhone 3G? I think it's about time for an upgrade?
