I've updated the workflow to work with Alfred 4 and macOS Catalina. All original lines of code are still in all of the script files, just commented out, with my modified lines below them.

Download: Alfred 4 - Rename 4.0 beta 2

I do have a feature request, though. It would be awesome if each captured piece of the filename could have the {find@@replace}{-modifiers} applied to it. So I could do something like the following:

File List:

This.Is.A.File.Name.For.A.Movie.MP4
This.Is.Some.other.FILENAME.blah.mp4

Rename RegEx:

(.*)\.(.*)@$1{\.@@ }{-t}.$2{-l}

Results:

This is a File Name For a Movie.mp4
This is Some Other Filename Blah.mp4

This would honestly make the workflow perfect imo. Haha.

Anyway, awesome workflow. Thank you for your work Carlos!!!

Thank you sir!!! You're awesome.

Forgive my lack of knowledge. I'm very new to Alfred workflows, but I greatly appreciate your help.

That's the wrong path. The alfred_workflow_data variable is specific to the workflow and already includes the bundle ID.

Thanks for the reply. I tried it without that piece and I get the same result.

Is there a way to view any sort of logging for a workflow? Maybe I can track down where things are going wrong.

I'm on macOS Catalina 10.15 and Alfred 4.05, and I can't get this workflow to work at all. I did have to allow Alfred to have Full Disk Access, Files and Folder access, and Automation access, but that still didn't allow it to function.

I applied a possible fix for the q_workflow.scpt and changed the 7th line:

set my _data to (POSIX path of (path to home folder)) & "Library/Application Support/Alfred 3/Workflow Data/" & (bundleid) & "/"

to the following:

set my _data to (system attribute "alfred_workflow_data") & (bundleid) & "/"

But it didn't seem to make it work. I tried it with a single file and with multiple files selected. Essentially, when I have a file selected and select Rename, Alfred just disappears and nothing happens. Maybe the fix isn't quite right?

Any help would be appreciated. This looks like such a useful workflow for Alfred and I've been looking for something like this for quite some time. It wasn't until recently that I realized Alfred can perform file operations. 🤦‍♂️

I just found your workflow and it is awesome! Thank you for the work you put into this. I love it.
