Hi all!
This is my first public workflow!
It basically solves me a problem of selectively deleting files in the Downloads folder without emptying it completaly.
 
Usage:
1. type the keyword, wait for the list of files. The files come ordered by Date Added, just like the Downloads icon in the Dock.
2. select the file to delete, type to filter files by name
3. optionally shift select the file to delete all newer files up to selected one
 
Everything you delete goes to the trash, so there's no much danger involved.

Thanks David, great workflow!!
I took the liberty of modifying it a bit, to have an optional argument in the script filter, in order to be able to filter the results.
 
Here is the code of the script filer, comments around my additions:
require('workflows.php'); $w = new Workflows( 'jdfwarrior.faves' ); $list = $w->data().'/favorites.json'; //-- Ramiro's filter -- $filter = "{query}"; //-- end Ramiro's filter -- if ( file_exists( $list ) ): $favs = $w->read( $list, true ); if ( count( $favs ) > 0 ): foreach( $favs as $fav ):                         //-- Ramiro's filter -- if ($filter && strpos(strtolower($fav),strtolower($filter)) === false) continue;                         //-- end Ramiro's filter -- $w->result( $fav, $fav, basename( $fav ), $fav, 'fileicon:'.$fav, 'yes', '', 'file' ); endforeach; else: $w->result( 'na', 'na', 'No favorites', 'No favorites were found. Try adding some new favs', 'icon.png', 'no' ); endif; else: $w->result( 'na', 'na', 'No favorites', 'No favorites were found. Try adding some new favs', 'icon.png', 'no' ); endif; echo $w->toxml();  
Hope you like it!
 
ps: would you consider uploading your Workflows to Github or similar facilitate contribution?

I've just tried this, but, isn't this the same as the actual search input inside virtually any OSX app? Actually, my Mountain Lion install (I asume everyones) comes with a shortcut (Cmd + shift + /) to toggle this

Fantastic! thanks!!
