  1. You can drop those items in Spotlight's privacy section or you can add alfred:ignore to their Finder comment as well. Either method should hide the result from Alfred.
  2. An upcoming version of Alfred will provide support to Airmail 2.
  3. In Features->Web Search, the table listing shows an icon, and then the keyword for the items. These can be clicked to change the keyword for web searches.
  4. I"m not sure that this would be possible the way your are wanting this to happen. Does Triiing have some kind of connection back to your Mac where you can trigger a dialer from your computer?
  5. You could also do it with a keyword that attaches to a Run Script. Set the Run Script to grab the value in the clipboard using pbpaste and then "open" the url with the variable in place. Does that make sense?
  6. You could more than likely clear up both issues by clearing Alfred's knowledge. This would clear out the no longer relevant search and reset the priority of the other items that are jumping ahead in the second case. It may take a little training to get Alfred to put this items at the very top, but if you continue to type those two characters only and then select what you want, he'll eventually learn.
  7. Because of the location of these files, they may not show up just by adding them to the regular search scope. Try creating a File Filter workflow instead. Set the search scope to the previously mentioned folder, and make sure that you tick the option to "Show files marked as System File". If there are only certain file types that you would like to be shown in the result, set them in the file types area. Let me know how this works out
  8. The autocomplete would have to be provided via an API that you had access to in order to pull this off. So, good example is, the Google Search workflow that is included with Alfred. You can send a request to a single URL and it returns autocomplete results. You parse those and then provide feedback to Alfred.
  9. If you have 3 keywords that are all the same then you will have 3 things to choose from as options also. This would be similar to a script filter except a keyword does no processing. Or, maybe I'm misunderstanding? You could also do... 1. A keyword to Applescript that would launch Alfred with another keyword and input params prefilled. 2. Keywords to external triggers that activate another script with given input.
  10. What are you having to pop Alfred back up and paste the url in? What are you doing with it? If you just want to open it, then pressing Enter on the bookmark in the search results should do that. If you're wanting to do something else, there aren't actions similar to the file actions but you could edit the workflow to allow for different actions based on a key modifier. For instance, you press enter and it opens the url. If you press Cmd+Enter it does something else.
  11. So this would be a file filter with a limited scope, and you want to reveal them all in Finder? Would using the default Ctrl+Return hotkey on the result work? I guess I'm just trying to figure out exactly what you're wanting..
  12. No I'm afraid that Alfred isn't capable of doing that, as mentioned in the other post though, you could quickly jump back to the file you need by typing a few characters to filter back down to it
  13. Alfred using Cmd+Down you can begin typing again to filter them. Now, this isn't the same as performing an actual search so it wouldn't traverse multiple levels. It would simply allow you to filter what is visible within that folder. Is that what you are looking for? Also, you can use wildcards when filtering them as well so, *.xlsx would filter and show Excel files
  14. Have you tried simply pressing Cmd+C when the item was selected?
  15. Have you double checked the file to ensure that the metadata is actually there? I created a filter for a music directory, set the file type, the search scope and then added tje kMDItemAuthors tag and, in this case I was searching through a folder for a band called Thousand Foot Krutch, and specifically looking for a file called "We Are". Searching for "thousand foot krutch we are" returned exactly the file I was looking for.
  16. I also made a workflow for it a while back. It uses a little binary app to do the same thing. Its here
  17. I'd wonder if that would be some kind of issue with permissions, not allow things to persist. May not be but I'd try repairing permissions
  18. Alfred could do something things like this with AppleScript. As long as it's form fields you are filling or other items that you can reliably tab through to, AppleScript should be able to help some here. Clicking items that don't have a tab index wouldn't be possible though. All this would be done by simulating keypresses and such. So for instance, you click the first field, press a hotkey or something to activate a workflow that runs Applescript to fill in that field, press tab, fill in the next, press tab, etc, etc.
  19. With the Powerpack, you can absolutely do that work Workflows. Are you a Powerpack member?
  20. If I had to guess, this would be because a json file, even though you and I know it's text, to Spotlight/OSX it isn't and therefore it doesn't have a kMDItemTextContent property associated with it. Same reason why you can't QuickLook json files by default
  21. Well, there isn't a built in way to do this but the snippets are stored in a file that could be shared. The only down side of this though would be that, if they have any fo their own setup, it would overwrite those. The file is a sqlite database so, if you know how to tinker with sqlite you could get around that. Otherwise, if it's not a big deal for the user to lose their own snippets, then you could find the snippets.alfdb file where your preferences are located.. Alfred 2.alfredpreferences/clipboard/snippets.alfdb
  22. This currently isn't possible unless you are doing custom searches with workflows as opposed to the default web search functionality.
  23. You can actually, from the Web Search preferences, double click on the "lucky" keyword and edit it from there
  24. It not saving the theme sounds like a permissions problem. Could you try repairing your disk permissions in Disk Utility? If that doesn't resolve the issue and you currently use Alfred's syncing feature, could you try setting the sync folder to somewhere else temporarily? Perhaps within ~/Documents. Try those things and report back please
