  1. I often do this with external triggers:

    {
      "alfredworkflow" : {
        "arg" : "{query}",
        "config" : {
          "title" : "",
          "runningsubtext" : "",
          "subtext" : ""
        },
        "variables" : {
        }
      }
    }

     

    So that instead of this:

    I see:

    Can you please make a setting in external trigger itself so I can avoid adding this object every time 🙏

    Thank you. 🖤

     

     

  2. Say I find a snippet

     

    image.thumb.png.b9960268eeaad774670e60054a8e3fb3.png

     

    I want to be able to quickly delete it right from this search. `cmd+shift+delete` or `cmd+delete`. 

    Right now to delete. I have to first open it with `cmd+return`. Then I can't even delete it here:

     

    image.thumb.png.de249969db5fca5760078ea1ea5947a2.png

     

    I have to cancel. Then after cancel the snippet is not focused, so I can't immediately press cmd+delete either:

     

    image.thumb.png.6619c997698065289b699118ef6aebd9.png

     

    Thus can't even automate it without some image recognition.

    Please add a fast way to delete snippets from the search. It's essential feature for me if I was to use Alfred Snippets heavily for all my snippets as I cycle some snippets and need that fast ability to delete them.

    Thank you lots. ♥️

  3. In fact I personally would love to be able to customise what is shown there.

    i.e. Ideally for me it shows `Keyword: ` if keyword exists. Does not show `Keyword: ` if no keyword is set. Thus reducing visual noise.

    And remove `xx words; xx chars` as I personally don't find value in seeing this.

    Ideally I just see the keyword if it is set. And also the Collection the snippet is in. That will always be shown as snippet is always a part of some collection.

    Would be very grateful if this can be added. ♥️

    However the feature should still be baked into Alfred


    I agree, it would be nice if this was baked in. I wonder if Alfred can integrate OneUpdater into Alfred itself.

     

    As an example, if workflow author includes a link that leads to GitHub repo and checks in `Update check` checkbox:

     

    image.thumb.png.7db3dd0191832642cef7349a0c17f34f.png

     

    It would do a similar thing to OneUpdate, check the new releases as anything inside the workflow gets called and prompt for an update. No need to carry around a OneUpdater block and connect it to everything inside the workflow.

     

    Would be nice.

    It would make the development experience much less annoying as we can focus in a single app (vscode)

     

    In theory this can already be possible I think. Correct me if I am wrong @Andrew but I remember that you can view Alfred Debugger console output from Console.app

    So if that's the cause, there should be a way to get the console log from the terminal too with some command. I am just not sure which. So then you can open external terminal with the live logs from Alfred as shown via some shell output from reading the log command.


    VSCode extension for Alfred can do this out of the box. So in VSCode you start the prompt for which Alfred workflow you want to start debugging. Read output of (`cd Alfred.alfredpreferences/workflows/..`) and show a list like here but in Alfred:

    Then it would copy the command to paste in external terminal or show it in a window of its own.


    Would be super useful. I can try build this if I find out how to get a stream of logs for a specific Alfred workflow given its path or something.

    The prompt is from macOS, not Alfred. Alfred doesn’t know that will happen before trying to run it, and trying to find out on every run could have a noticeable lag (checking for code signature is slow).

     

     

    Totally agree. I just thought maybe Alfred knew that this prompt was thrown. If it already knew it could show an extra prompt itself. But it makes sense why it doesn't know it.

    Thanks.

    Search in Alfred for ?keyword g and you should see the possible culprits.


    Super useful. 

    For Alfred 5, can we please have this feature. Add maybe an icon here:

     

    image.png.5ae379dd83c3d0ee66903066c5ca8f93.png

     

    That if pressed will show an overlay window with all search tricks. Such as `?=keyword ..`. I am sure there is more. I tried searching for this page on Google and got 0 results for Alfred search extra keywords. 

     

    I think it would be very helpful for discoverability of all Alfred features. I use Alfred daily but didn't know this. 😺

  8. I moved to M1 mac a while ago. And I have this issue where if I type `g` into Alfred normal prompt, this will show up:

     

    image.thumb.png.eae17cddaa000019d83bb33070290e0e.png

     

    I get what it is trying to say. But I for life of me can't find where is this `projects` binary in. I tried to find it with `find` command:

     

    image.thumb.png.c2e25b3c43d0f92ded4688c3bccf0116.png

     

    But that returned nothing found, maybe command is wrong though. 

     

    I also went to Alfred Preferences and went over all my workflows and it's not mine as when I disable all my workflows, this prompt still shows up.

     

    I really don't want to go over all the workflows one by one and disable them one by one to find which one it is (I have more than 120+ of them).

     

    Is there anything else I can do? I tried searching for `projects` in Alfred too, no results.

     

    In my mind it would be so awesome to either have:

     

    - Before showing this prompt that this binary can't be opened, Alfred can also show in which workflow it is trying to call it? And optionally provide user to open Finder with the location of that binary. So user can then right click and run it quickly to get the error to go away. I get that this comes with security risk for some users but would be nice UX.

    - Ability to show `last ran workflow` somewhere? Then I can see of this workflow was being triggered even if with errors.

     

    Would be super helpful.

    My big issue now is that my entire `g` searches are fully broken because of this. I wanted to download https://www.jetbrains.com/go/ and switch to it with Alfred.

     

    Thank you lots.

    Our aim is to create a safe and organised platform, which is easily searchable and browsable


    That's super exciting. I hope it will have an API so you can automate updating/releasing workflows without having to go through some web/GUI interface.  

  10. Here is my contact in Alfred contact view. Search contact action.

    Here is same contact in Contacts app:

    If you notice the field note is not shown at all in the Alfred view. Even if you try to scroll the Alfred view, there is no way for it to show. If you start typing `note`, it won't show either.

     

    I think it's some bug that was introduced as before it worked. Alfred version is 4.6.4. macOS version is 12.3

     

    I hope you can replicate it as it's a feature I used a lot. Thank you.
