Is there a way to get Terminal Command to open a new tab of terminal? It currently tries to run the command even if there's a program that isn't my default shell running in terminal, which is a little weird.

Thanks for the advice! Does syncing with Dropbox only affect browsing the actual workflow folder, or are the cache and data directories affected as well?

Hello! I wanted to easily quickly browse my workflow files in alfred, but didn't find an easy/satisfactory way of doing so, so I quickly created this workflow. I'm not sure if there's any interest for this or if someone's already made something like this, but I decided to try myself. Usage You can edit the wf/ script filter to input your own option/keyword. Also, I kind of hacked this together and my coding experience is somewhat limited, so any constructive criticism is HIGHLY welcomed/encouraged. I've learned about coding workflows mostly from others' example. This is also basically my first time using GitHub so let me know if things go wrong.

Rhymezone has an API it links to: http://www.datamuse.com/api/

Cool, thanks!

A couple quick questions: Is there a way to hide/turn off file previews in file browser? Saw this asked earlier but I didn't see a reply. Would be nice to see the text/actual browser bigger. Is there a way to quickly go back to browsing after entering file action menu? In case wrong file was selected. Though this isn't really necessary because of the "previous" hotkey and keyword, but it would be quicker, I guess. Thanks!

I'm experiencing some weird behavior where wikia searches are oddly case sensitive - for example, when searching in tardis.wikia.com, a search for "tenth doctor" with searchio will not show results, whereas "tenth Doctor" will. Or, for dc.wikia.com, night-owl vs night-Owl does a similar thing. Do you know why this might be?

I posted same issue on github, creator said he'd work on it soon.

Alfred-Workflow installs with pip for python3, but on usage it calls modules that don't exist in python3. Is there a way around this, or do scripts need to be run with python 2? Will this change in the future? Very new to this, trying to setup my own simple workflow.

You're absolutely right - I had a exactly a crap-load of really old bookmarks in multiple nested folders I had entirely forgotten about - imports from other browsers and weird things like that. Works neatly now. Thanks for everything!

Actually, I accidentally left my computer for a bit while trying this on chrome - it works, it just takes a while to load for chrome (whereas it's near-instant for other apps). Don't know if that's the case for you/if you know why that might be, but thanks anyway!

Hello, great workflow! This isn't working for me with chrome on El Capitan. (When i type "m [anything]" it says "Loading..." and then goes to defaults) I know someone was having that issue previously, was that ever fixed?

I guess I should first ask, is there an alfred workflow to smoothly interact with emacs in terminal (not the emacs gui/application)? And now, please excuse my lack of general knowledge: I currently have a very simple workflow set up that browses alfred and runs the terminal command "emacs {query}" on enter. I was wondering how hard it would be to make a workflow that checks if terminal is already open with emacs running, and if so, actually open the query as a buffer in emacs. Another question, kind of related to this (so that i could do "emacs .emacs" and such): I understand Alfred doesn't show hidden files since spotlight doesn't index them, but is there a way to make a specific hidden file findable with spotlight/alfred? (I've heard there's a way to hide files from them by adding stuff to their comments, was basically wondering if the opposite is possible too.)

Was wondering if there's already a workflow that does this, giving back results like this search for "cellfun": http://www.mathworks.com/help/search.html?qdoc=cellfun&submitsearch= but in Alfred. Or if anyone knows of a way to do this/can give me any steps in the right direction? Disclaimer: I'm extremely new to workflows, know nothing about creating them, and really only do some python and bash coding, so I'm really not expecting much from this, it's more of a curiosity.

Thanks - I think I fixed it. For some reason, wasn't downloading homebrew cask applications to the default location, but changing this to default fixed it. Everything now works fine.

Hi, I've got a few applications installed with homebrew. Find isn't working for me when searching for these. I've read a couple of the posts about reindexing spotlight and stuff like that, but nothing has really helped? These apps DO show up when just typing their name into alfred (i've added their path to the default scope), but sometimes i'd like to use "find" to show them in my finder, as with other files/applications. The path they're on is "usr/local/caskroom/[specific application folder]". Any suggestions? Thanks!
