Released v1.4.3 with a small fix for DT3 and removed an unnecessary search call that should double the speed of the workflow

I've been recently playing around with launchbar and switch back and forth between it and Alfred. 
One thing I noticed that is pretty killer in launchbar, is the ability to use macOS services. Launchbar is indexing them by default and lets you use them either with normal text or files. 
 
A proposal could be:
Type some text (or use a workflow to get the selected text and propagate the alfred window with it) Hit CTRL Select "Use Service" (or directly suggest them) Hit enter on a service to use them  
And the same with files. Hit CTRL and propagate the actions window with services that support the file type, next to workflow actions and default alfred actions
 
I think this would make Alfred a lot more powerful without the need to create custom workflows. A lot of apps (the majority?) already exposes services, and being able to use them directly within alfred would be great. 
 
For example, some workflows that I manually wrote that would be possible with a service:
DEVONthink: Add notes or files Delivers: Add a delivery from a text string Fantastical, Cardhop, Things: Add new entry directly from text

Looks like it's not that hard after all. Got a little proof of concept with the applescript interface working. 
It's not done yet but I'll try to get a update out this weekend / early next week ?
 

You mean like this? 
 
tell application id "DNtp" set newRecord to create record with {name:"foo", type:text, content:"foo"} in inbox open window for record newRecord activate end tell This creates a document, opens it in a new editor window and sets focus to DEVONthink 

The theme in the screenshot is The Minimalist. I use the 'almost midnight' variant

Hi!
 
I am currently testing Path Finder and would like to exclude Finder.app from my results. I tagged it with "alfred:ignore" and added it to the spotlight privacy tab but the app still shows inside alfred results (not in spotlight though). 
 
- Cleared application cache
- Cleared Knowledge
 
Any ideas how to remove it?
