Another suggestion would be coming from LeChuck (Post: http://www.alfredforum.com/topic/1325-displaying-a-text-file-or-a-md-file/#entry6462) that abuses a debug mode of the quicklook feature. (Documentation: http://developer.app...qlmanage.1.html).
 
Theoretically, you could just have the workflow write a quick file (maybe .md), put it in temporary storage, and then launch the quicklookd. It makes it so that Finder isn't active but quicklook is.

My first workflow (and my first time playing with Python). It searches definitions of words in Urban Dictionary:
 

 
Download it here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/edrab4lyzi5gorj/Urban%20Dictionary.alfredworkflow

Lots of good ones out there but a couple I think deserve mention are CarlosNZ's "EggTimer" and "New Text File with Tag"
 
EggTimerv2 - http://www.alfredforum.com/topic/275-eggtimer-v2-updated-to-20-final/?hl=eggtimer
New Text File with Tag - somewhere around here I'll find it later...
 
EggTimer came out probably 2 weeks before Alfred 2 beta was open to supporters. For just creating a very intricate v1 extension he took on v2's workflows creating an amazing workflow that takes advantage of all of Alfred 2's new features. Great way to show how much more you can do with Alfred 2 and how much easier/cleaner it is. EggTimer for v1 was pretty nice for v1 but v2's workflow is ridiculous.

Thanks man that change worked.  Looks like Alfred did not like the function call and I am not about to figure out why.  :-)

I've wondered about this. I've always tended to post at the end of the thread as well as updating the original post just so those that are "following" the thread get a notification that there is an update. I don't suppose just editing the first post is enough to trigger a notification from the forum, is it?

Alfred 2 Top Process Workflow
  The initial motive of this workflow is to avoid frequent visits to the Activity Monitor when the fan goes loud. Now it has been evolved with two major features:   Suggestions are welcome. And Please go to http://zhaocai.github.com/alfred2-top-workflow/ for better view of the installation instruction.   - 1) List/Kill Top Processes by Memory/CPU/IO Usage       - 2) (working in progress) Get a glance of system status including internal battery, fan speed, CPU/GPU Temperature, bluetooth battery, disk capacity, etc.     Usage   0. Show Help   Just type -?, -h, or --help after the keyword to show help.     1. Top Processes   A. Keywords:   1.) top: Show a mixed processes list based on top cpu/memory usage.          1. top -m, top --memory to show processes ranked by memory usage        2. top -c, top --cpu, to show processes ranked by cpu usage        3. top -i, top --io, to show processes ranked by io usage with callback from top io trace collector.      Top IO requires [DTrace][Dtrace] and it would take a while to finish. The new callback design is to run the job in he background and post a notification (OSX 10.8+) using notification center. Click on the notification to show the result in alfred.           Modifier Key      - none    : The default action is to list files opened by process ID    - control : Kill the selected process    - command : kill forcefully (kill -9)    - alt     : Nice (lower) the selected process's cpu priority    - shift   : Search web for process information     2.) kill: Filter process to kill.   Modifier Key      - none: The default action is to kill by process ID    - command : kill forcefully (kill -9)   3.) lsof: List files opened by process id   Modifier Key      - none: The default action is to reveal file in Finder   B. Filter by Query   1.) To search for process state, use :idle, :sleep, :stopped, :zombie, :uninterruptible, :runnable, etc.       2. Glance an Eye on your system   #### A. Keywords:   glance: Show system information including internal battery, bluetooth battery, disk capacity, etc.       B. Change Display Order   Activate Alfred Preferences → Advanced → Top Result Keyword Latching       Hit Enter for the feedback item you wish to show up on the top.     Installation Two ways are provided:
You can download the Top Processes.alfredworkflow and import to Alfred 2. This method is suitable forregular users.
You can git clone or fork this repository and use rake install and rake uninstall to install. Check rake -T for available tasks. This method create a symlink to the alfred workflow directory: "~/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/Alfred.alfredpreferences/workflows". This method is suitable fordevelopers.
    Troubleshooting   1. Does not work in Mac OSX 10.9 (Maverick)   In OSX 10.9, the system ruby is upgraded to 2.0.0. You need to download the new version of this workflow which packs the ruby gems for 2.0.0 inside.   If the downloaded version does not work, try    1.) open Terminal.app. If you use rvm or rbenv, switch to the system ruby. run cd "$HOME/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/Alfred.alfredpreferences/workflows/me.zhaowu.top" && rake bundle:update   2. iotop causes mouse lagging   This issue is not caused by this workflow but by [DTrace][DTrace]. The related system log message is IOHIDSystem cursor update overdue. Resending.. In my Macbook Pro, any [DTrace][DTrace] based program will introduce this issue including the mac built-in /usr/bin/iotop, and /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Applications/Instruments.app .   I upgrade to OS X 10.9 and this issue is resolved.   3. Encoding::CompatibilityError: incompatible character encodings: ASCII-8BIT and UTF-8   Add the following contents to /etc/launchd.conf. Restart is required.   setenv LANG en_US.UTF-8 setenv LC_ALL en_US.UTF-8      

Reloading the Alfred app cache did the trick! Thanks.

For me its about how simple and basic it is. Nothing too flashy and fancy. It hosts my images, and thats all. No resizing, thumbnails, etc. And it gets the job done.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imgur
 
I think it got a lot of traction from Reddit users. Clean and simple page.

Great stuff guys. Just one suggestion/request - I'd like to folders and files to be kept separate (I'm getting too many folder results in the recent docs list). How about one keyword for "recent folders" and another for "recent files/docs"?
 
Cheers.

Is there some kind of giant list that new users could pick and choose from? I find it a hassle to go through the forum finding what you want.
 
A dedicated website or blog with requests built in would be cool.

1. Most people would probably prefer linking directly to the workflow but I personally don't do this. I link all of mine back to my blog currently so I don't have to change the download link on my blog and on the forums every time something gets changed. I just leave the forum post as a link directly to the blog post.
2. We haven't set a preferred format for the bundle id yet, just make sure that it will be something unique. This bundle id will be used to identify the workflow when installing updates to it. 
 
 
Perhaps not. If you still want to create a new post at the bottom, that would be fine. It's just recommended that you keep the download link at the top. It makes it a lot easier to find. That was the main thing to note under this topic. If you make an update and post it, then 15 people comment on it before I find my way to it, then I would have to search through the thread to find the actual download link as opposed to it just easily being available at the beginning. Make sense?

Also: Benzi's TO DO workflow is great.
 
(Note: I tried to "like" more posts in this thread, but I get the error "You have reached your quota of positive votes for the day". You might want to up the limit for this in the forum settings?)

Hi, I've added your workflow to the [Alfred Workflow List Website] to share with more users. Hope you like it.

http://www.alfredworkflow.com/#TimeZones

Have you tried reloading the Alfred app cache? Check out the Advanced tab in Alfred's preferences to clear the cache. You could also try dragging the Applications folder in the Privacy section, waiting a moment, and then pulling it back out. That ill cause OSX to reindex the Applications folder.

How can I exclude folders from my search results? I have Parallels installed, which created a Windows Application folder and every time I launch an application. For example Google Chrome I get two options, the mac version and the version installed in Parallels. 
 
I know that Alfred is smart enough to show the mac version first but it would be nice to avoid search results from specific folders.

Just merged Dexwell's improvements, plus some other changes. The download link in the original post should get you the latest version.

There are a few shortcomings due to the way AppleScript is operating (i.e. moving to an external drive, AppleScript leaves the original for safety). I aim to improve these for a 2.x release

And now we have v0.5    With improved features, new configuration options, and better tested from the last version.
 
Download now and start creating awesome todo lists!

PS: Feedback welcome, please let me know if you have any suggestions

Hey folks,
 
I've been chugging away building a new version of my EggTimer extension to take advantage of Alfred 2's new features. And now it's ready for whoever would like to to have a playaround with it and see what they think:
 
EggTimer v2.0
 
 
It will also be available at Tom's Alfred Repo, but I personally haven't had a chance to test that yet, so let me know how it goes for you.
 
Now, it's very much a beta, as there's several things that don't work as well as I'd like yet, but I'm pretty pleased with how the integration with Alfred 2's new live results feedback via the Script Filter is working. My aim is to have a really nicely polished, easy-to-use (no users fiddling with config files) workflow ready to release by the time Alfred 2 goes public, so any comments or suggestions are most welcome.  It's ready! (22 March 2013)
 
I've included a full summary of all the functionality in the documentation included in the download (enter timer help in Alfred), but here's just a quick overview of the features:
Simple timers Auto-repeating timers Alarms (set a specific time) Snooze function Repeat function Recent Timers list (choose one to restart) Full integration into Alfred's results window. Couple of quick caveats:
EggTimer currently requires growlnotify to display notifications when timers finish. This is because the timer process completely decouples from Alfred to run in the background, so it can’t feed back its output to Alfred. I’m working on a solution to use a Notification Centre alert option to make this as seamless as possible to the user.
Currently, running timers won’t restart after a crash or a reboot. I’m working on a solution to this which I aim to have working soon.
Okay, that's about it. Enjoy, and let me know how it works for you.
 
----
 
21 January 2013: Updated to beta 2
 
Changes:
Timers/Alarms now use a “while…” loop to check due time against time of day (instead of just sleeping for a duration). This prevents the problem of timers running late if the computer was put to sleep. (Don't know why I didn't just do this to begin with.) ----
 
24 January 2013: Updated to beta 3
 
Changes:
Now uses recommended working folders for storing timer info and preferences. The main benefit from the user point of view is that future updates won’t overwrite your timers and preferences. Timers and Auto-timers now accept hour:minute input. Syntax is timer HRS:MINS Reminder. Can now stop timers from the timer list using the option-key modifier. Kind of an ugly implementation though, as it will display the same information regardless of whether it’s context-appropriate. Trying to think of a better way to make this work. (Suggestions welcome!) Timers will be restored if they have crashed. This is only partially implemented though, because it’ll only check if you actually run the workflow. It won’t restore them at login yet, which is more important. Working on it. Miscellaneous minor tweaks. ----
 
27 January 2013: Updated to beta 4
 
Changes:
The big one: will now resume timers after restart/re-login. EggTimer adds an entry to the OS X launchd daemon to check for and resume timers at startup. You will be prompted to give permission for this on first launch of EggTimer. New keyword/workflow structure. Check out the workflow config panel to see what’s what. If you’d prefer the old ones (all starting with timer), just change them yourself (eg. repeat -> timer repeat). You’ll note that from the timer list (timers or hotkey Ctrl-T) you can also select to launch a new timer or alarm (courtesy of Alfred’s new Applescript-ability). Now has a “nuke” option (timer nuke) to reset EggTimer back to initial blank config. (Deletes all working folders, cancels running timers, uninstalls startup item.) Fixed bug with “08” and “09” minutes entries when using hrs:mins timer format. More specific icons and other miscellaneous UI tweaks. beta4a
Fixed minor (and embarrassing) regression. ----
 
28 January 2013: Updated to beta4b
 
Changes:
Fixed absolute path reference preventing permission dialog from launching.  
28 January 2013: Updated to beta4c
 
Changes:
Doh! One more pesky absolute path eliminated. There's still a bit of weirdness with resuming timers after a login though, so I'm still trying to figure that out. Maybe answer "no" to installing startup item for now.. beta4d
Okay, the problem was fairly minor (just me being scatterbrained ), so the startup check should work nicely now. Here's hoping! ---
 
22 March 2013: Updated to v2.0 (final)
I've finally integrated proper notifications for the completed timers. It will work with either Growl or Notification Centre, depending on what you have selected in the workflow config. growlnotify is no longer required, and you'll find "EggTimer" as a properly registered application within Growl's preferences (where you can tweak it). Miscellaneous tweaks and tidy-ups (including documentation - timer help to display)

Big update, cleaning out all the old stuff!
 
Lots of wonderful minimal themes on here, but I think this is the minimalist.
 
Minimalist details:
We only show the path for the selected item (which is basically how you read these details anyway) That also makes it easy to see which item is selected so we don't need a highlight! Keyboard shortcuts for matches (e.g. "⌘4") are harder to use than just up/down+enter, so I hid those Uses the light weight of the system font (San Francisco) for that native, readable feel Looks best with a medium amount of blur Available in a wide array of colors  
Downloads listed below, preview images beneath (I'm not sure how to show images inline any more…):
Almost white: http://cozy.es/PRYr Almost black: http://cozy.es/eBRP Almost alizarin: http://cozy.es/WjeE Almost asbestos: http://cozy.es/4Jul Almost carrot: http://cozy.es/NyKn Almost clouds: http://cozy.es/QyXj Almost emerald: http://cozy.es/AxKm Almost midnight: http://cozy.es/qnEA  
Credit to flatuicolors.com for the colors. Best with these appearance settings.
 
Enjoy, and let me know how these work for you. Thanks!

This workflow of mine might help you with that.

Here is Todo. My version of a todo list management workflow using Alfred. This allows you to add quick entries to a list of todo items, view them, delete one or all of them, and highlights items that have been pending too long 
 
Detailed documentation is available at GitHub.
 
Getting Started
Keywords:
todo this is the main keyword, and lets you get started todo <new task> will add a new task todo will display the list of tasks todo # will display the list of tags add <new task> will add a new task done will show you all items that have been marked as done clear to remove items Adding todo items
Typing add a new task will create a new task titled 'a new task'. This will be tagged #default Typing todo #work sign off document will create a task titled 'sign off document' and tagged #work Typing add !! this is sticky will create a pinned item titled 'this is sticky', tagged #default When adding items, add and todo keywords are interchangeable, although the key difference is add allows you to add items with the title twice; todo provides a more informative feedback on screen
 

 
If you wish to load todo items in bulk, use the import keyword, described later below under Advanced Options
 
Hotkey Support:
If you set a hotkey (Alfred removes configured hotkeys when you install a workflow) by opening up the workflow, then you can use the hotkey to import the selected item in Mac OS. e.g. select some text, press the hotkey, and the selected text will be parsed and added as a todo item ---- Select this entire line of text and trigger the hotkey to create a pinned item, tagged !! #forum  
Command modifiers:
Pressing fn key when selecting an item will enable edit mode for that item - this works for both todo items and tagsIn edit mode, use the same syntax that you use to create a new todo - e.g. #newtag new todo text. Todo will identify which portion you need to change and update them accordingly Pressing Shift will allow you to mark an item as done. You can view all done items with the done keyword Pressing Cmd will help you delete either a todo item, and all items that match a specific tag Pressing Alt will help you list out all items that match the currently selected items tag Pressing Ctrl will help you pin/unpin a todo item. Pinned items will always be displayed first (they can be deleted as usual) If you press the Tab key against a todo item, you will be shown all todo items with the matching tag Pressing Enter will copy the text content of a todo item to the clipboard

Download the workflow from here and give it a try. This theme works well with the workflow.
