I think this is not quite working properly?

For example, I entered: living earth -- and got no results -- but doing the same in the App Store does give results.

Or am I doing something wrong?

Hi all,

I have a Windows PC on my LAN that I use as a file server, I mount a share on my Mac with a smb:// link.

I'd love to be able to use Alfred's File Action Browser to navigate the mounted drive.

I don't need to search it, even just browsing would be great (eg, for quickly moving local files to the server).

Possible?

Yet you still ended your last comment with three periods, not an ellipsis…

Old habits die hard… 

Thanks again. I'm new to Alfred, I seldom get so jazzed up about a new app.

ha, I appreciate your precision!  

And now that you mention it, I notice the difference between my trailing "..." and the "…" after other menu items, so going off to fix now... 

Thanks, good to know you see it too -- so that strikes you as a potential El Capitan 'bug' (or however you might characterize it)?

What what little I understand, it seems like since the Service appears to be running, it seems like the call to the keystroke should work.

Anyhow, at least it works (provided Finder is frontmost).

Tried rebooting -- if something other than Finder is frontmost, if I right-click a file on the Desktop and choose the "Alfred" action, I see the Services cog briefly flash in the Mac menu bar, but nothing happens -- works fine with Finder frontmost.

I don't meant to waste your time, and it's not the biggest deal -- but if you have any idea on how to get it to work -- or if it "shouldn't" work, happy to hear what you think...

And thank you.

Awesome, thanks!

If you don't mind one last question -- I noticed that if I have another application frontmost, and if I select a file on my desktop (a common scenario), it won't work -- I have to make Finder frontmost.

Is there a simple way to make that work?

Logging out/in did the trick, thanks -- and now it seems to let me save it as "Alfred Actions..."

Is deleting the bundle from user/library/services -- and then logging out/in -- the 'right' way to clear them out?

Thanks again!

Meaning: even if I delete what I created, start again, name it just "Alfred" -- when I look in Services in the Control Panel, it's back to "Alfred Actions.." -- so it seems like there's something else I need to clear out?

Thanks, I'm clueless with Automator, hope you don't mind a question...

I got that working in Automator, but it changed my name from "Alfred Actions..." to "Alfred Actions.." (from 3 to 2 periods)

I'm guessing that 3 periods might be 'reserved' -- but now I seem unable to change the name.

I tried editing the name in Automator.

I tried deleting the file from User/Library/Serivces

I tried turning it off/on in System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Services

I tried killing Finder

But it still shows up in the Context Menu as "Alfred Actions.."

What's the right way to "totally remove" this Service, such that I can name it?

Thanks!

fwiw, I was mostly referring to the dialog that lets you email/move/etc files -- it would be handy if I could assign that as a right-click item for items Finder.

Thanks!

Hi all,

Running El Capitan -- Packal Updater says: "GUI Not Available" (only for 10.9 and 10.10) -- also, fwiw, it actually says: GUI Not Available' (with a trailing apostrophe).

Should Packal Updater be updated to permit the GUI under 10.11?

To answer my own question, it appears that the 'searchio' workflow includes an option to show the query in the result list -- plus, it enables several search engines -- so that's exactly what I wanted!

Hi all,

When using the "Google Suggest" example workflow, is it possible to send the search as typed, if the suggested auto-completes aren't what you want?

For example, if I start a Google Suggest workflow and then type "sun" -- I see a bunch of suggestions that start with the word 'sun' -- but not just the word sun -- but how can I simply send just 'sun' if that turns out to be better than the autocomplete options?

Or, perhaps, have the first row of the suggestions be the same as what you've typed into Alfred?

Thanks,  -Scott

Hi all,

New to Alfred, and totally blown away by how helpful it is.

One question: is there a way to have the File Action menu show up in the context menu when right-clicking a file in OSX? Works fine with the hotkey, but was wondering if I could get it to show up in the context menu too.

Thanks!  -Scott
