Oh snap, so I have it working. I still have a lot of stuff that needs to be added to this to make it worth having but I can now search my plex library in Alfred, see results as feedback, select a file, and it plays. Right now it is only set to play on a remote player so.. in my setup, I have a computer hooked to the tv that is there solely for plex. The plex client is always running on it. I can control it and make it play/pause and all that remotely from Alfred now! Sweet!

Thanks for helping run this to ground Clinton

I updated my Rdio workflow to fix a few things.
 

 
1. Resized png icons and optimized (download is now ~210k, was over 2MB)
2. Fixed the Artist items not playing. Selecting an artist will now play their Top Tracks Channel.
3. Migrated to Workflows helper class
4. Added track count to Artist results
5. Increased performance of Now Playing item by limiting the number of Applescript calls made.

Actually, it may be more than what I originally thought. So.. here's what I've come up with..
 
Ignore the previous post about the hotkey, I don't think that's what it is anymore.. The solution I have.. works but, only if search isn't currently active.
on alfred_script(q) tell application "Airmail" to activate tell application "System Events" tell process "Airmail" to click menu item "Search Messages" of menu "Edit" of menu bar 1 delay .4 tell process "Airmail" to keystroke (q as string) end tell end alfred_script That seems to work as long as something other than search is active in Airmail and the reason is, is when search is active and you run the script, when it activates Airmail again, the search field loses focus. Telling it to search again at that point, doesn't focus on the search field so when it tries to type, it doesn't work. The above code works otherwise..

You could check to see if a config file exists on first run and if it doesn't, skip the execution and open a text file of instructions or display a notification that the workflow needs to be properly configured before it can work?

No no no, sorry for the confusion. In order to add the functionality that you are looking for, you need to add a keyword to the workflow. With that workflow selected in the Workflows area of Alfred's preferences, in the workflow editor (the area to the right), click the + in the top right hand corner and select Input->Keyword. Set your details for the keyword trigger accordingly and then save that item. Now, mouse over that item and a little tab should appear on the right hand side of it. Click the tab and drag it to the Run Script item. It should create a little line between them. This connects the keyword to the action. Once you do that, the keyword should work just as you expect it to.

Fallback Results aren't for contacts only. Fallback Results are for when you search something in Alfred and Alfred doesn't find anything. The default fallback searches are to provide the option to search Google, Amazon, and Wikipedia for the text you entered. By creating Fallback Searches though, you can modify the options that are available for when Alfred doesn't find anything.
 
If you need any further help or need any kind of explanation of what things are, don't hesitate to ask. That's what I'm here for

Quick little Contact Action workflow that will allow you to select a contact's address in the Alfred Contact Viewer and see that address in the Apple Maps app.

You will have to add the custom action. Use the screenshots below to guide you through setting up the contact action..
 


After the action is set up.. when viewing a contact in the Alfred Contact Viewer, you should be able to select the Contact's address and view it in the Apple Maps application.

By the way.. if you haven't seen this.. Documentation

When Alfred passes the file to you, it passes the full path to the file. So, the workflow is probably silently failing because the /Applications/ is not needed in the path when trying to open

This could be done by creating a separate fallback search that would handle the opening of the URL in your browser. This would have to be setup to work for your browser of choice (assuming it supports this -- needs applescript). Currently, to improve compatibility so that the URL opens correctly no matter what your browser is, Alfred performs the same action that you would at a terminal to open a URL. At a terminal, you could type "open http://alfredforum.com" and that would open the URL in whatever the default browser is. The OS grabs it and passes it off to the browser to let it determine how to open the URL. I'm not sure what config options are available for every browser but I know Safari only provides the option to open a URL in a new tab or a new window. Perhaps you use an alternate browser that has config options to set how the browser handles opening new URLs.

That doesn't necessarily need AppleScript. This could be done by editing a plist value and restarting Finder. Try this workflow. Download

This is done the same way that you specify a file to open with Sublime Text at the command line, using the open command. 
open -a /Applications/Sublime\ Text\ 2.app/ <file or folder to open> If you are looking to select an item in Alfred to open, you could use the previous command and replace the <file/folder> with "{query}" to open the selected file. You could also use the Open File action and set Sublime Text as the application to use to open the selected file. I have a workflow that when a file is selected in Alfred, I press the right arrow to get my list of actions, and I have an Open With Sublime action. It saves the step of "Open With.." and then specifying Sublime as the target app

Alfred doesn't support it natively yet since Mavericks isn't in full release yet (although it hit GM the other day). You can do this now though with a workflow (filter). Here is a workflow that has it built in (there is also another filter for folders in there, you can just delete that. This was a personal workflow and not something I have distributed.)

Maybe we should try rebuilding your Address Book metadata..  Could you try the method detailed here?

Updated 3/18:
NOTE: Set your location again so a default weather unit gets set initially, then change it.
Removed saving to the Workflow Data folder and actually save IN the workflow folder now. Should fix issue a few users are seeing and also allows syncing weather location.

URL History is one of the few items that doesn't sync automatically. Some options and data in Alfred is stored on a per machine basis. The URL History would be repopulated as you visited those sites but if you must have the settings from the previous machine, I believe that ~/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/Databases/urlhistory.alfdb is the file that you are looking for.

I believe that this is going to be controlled by the application/browser and not by Alfred. Alfred simply uses the open keyword (same that would be used from the command line or terminal) to open URLs in your default browser. I can't remember what all browsers support this but I know that some browsers actually support setting how the OS will handle opening new URLs by default (where it opens in a new window or a new tab) I would check your browser settings and see what they have been set to

My example wasn't attempting as much to accomplish that, it was simply to prove that, contradictory to the title, for loops do work. To solve  your issue, as mentioned above, try using IFS. This example performs what you are asking about.
query="John 192.168.1.25 johndoe" IFS=' ' read -a array <<< "$query" echo "Hello ${array[0]}, your IP is ${array[1]} and your login in ${array[1]}. Remember to use the IP ${array[1]} as DHCP with fixed IP and respect the case for ${array[2]}. See you soon ${array[0]}!"

How customizable are you wanting this to be because, using the system commands, Alfred has the ability to quit applications using the Quit keyword, or the Quitall keyword. These are available under the System section in the Alfred Preferences

Of course. This could be done by copying the contents of the original folder to the destination using terminal commands. Create a new workflow using the Essentials->Keyword to Script to Notification template. Set your keyword and details then in the code area of the Script, use the cp terminal command to copy the contents from one to the other. Then you can use the Notification to alert you when the copy completed
