This is a file action to copy one or more files to the clipboard, so you can paste them into another app. Sphardy requested this in the Beta Discussion forum, and I was also wanting a similar feature, so I went ahead and put this together.

Is it possible to migrate my usage data to v2?  I'm particularly proud of it and it would hurt to lose that... not critical but just wondering if its possible.

Hi,
 
I created a workflow and website repository to manage workflows and themes installation, update, remove, etc..
 
I need some testers who make workflows or themes, if you are interested, contact me by private message. Thanks in advance for your help, and sorry for my english because I am french lol.

One thing that is frustrating me is that copying images doesn't show up on the clipboard. Please make this a feature!

Been playing around a lot with creating new Workflows and wondered if there's any way to trigger an Action from another Action?
 
For example, I want to use a keyword + {query} to create a new development site. First, I want to run a shell script silently. When that finishes, I want to open iTerm 2 to run a Terminal Command action in the foreground. At the same time, I'd like to use the Open URL action to open the local site in Chrome.
 
From what I can tell, an Action can't trigger another Action in a Workflow. I know I can trigger them simultaneously, but the secondary actions in the Workflow depend on the first shell script being completely.
 
Any way to do this other than executing commands in a single bash script or writing it out with PHP/Python/Ruby/AppleScript and triggering the scripts sequentially from a bash script?
 
Thanks,
Matt

Hey,
 
Not sure if this has been mentioned or whether it is going to change but I am using a Macbook Air 11.6" at a resolution of 1366 x 768 and I am having real trouble using the preferences. The window is too big for the screen and it doesn't seem to get any smaller than the default size (it can get bigger though).  I have attached a screenshot of what I mean. With the dock and the menu bar visible, I can't actually click some of the buttons at the bottom of the window. I realise there is only so small it can get, but perhaps making the sections scrollable when you pass a certain size?
 

This workflow pauses iTunes after the current track is finished playing. Useful for when you want to take a break, but don't want to interrupt the song you're listening to.
 
I originally wrote this for Alfred 1, but I never published it. It doesn't take advantage of any Alfred 2 features, but I hope it still might be useful to someone.

Hi
 
I've noticed it's possible to open Alfred whilst in Mission Control (which may or may not be desirable) but will not accept text entry whilst there (which I guess is not desirable?).
 
Alfred Version: B56
Mac OS version: 10.8.2
Steps to create: 1. Instigate Mission Control
                            2. Hit Alfred shortcut keys
 
Please let me know if you need any more detail
 
Kind regards
 
Steven

I wrapped together some extensions I had found and used in V1, so you can download the updated workflow here: https://github.com/alanmoo/Duck-Butler-2

Not so much a bug, as just something that could potentially create confusion.
 
Check out the following screenshot:
 

 
One would think that the "something" keyword sends a single input to the script, which splits to two output modules.
 
However, the keyword is actually the one doing the branching, but Alfred doesn't draw the split until after the script, which is visually confusing. It only becomes clear if you move the script icon up a bit:
 

 
It's not a huge deal, but it'd probably be worth cleaning up before the final release, no?

One of the most annoying things of writing a college paper is having to write the references. I used to look for previous papers where I'd already written the reference, then copy, paste, and refine for the new paper. It probably took longer than just writing the reference from scratch, but I hated the idea of losing marks on APA formatting.
 
So as a concept, in my free time, I created a workflow to paste the complete reference into my paper so I only had to edit it for what I was citing this time. I found a character to start each keyword with that didn't pull anything else up in Alfred, so it starts with a clean list:
 

 
Then I type the name of the main author of the textbook (or I can press ⌘ and whatever number, obviously):
 

 
Hit Enter, and there it is:
 

 
 
I expect this will save me TONS of time.   Not sure if it'll be of any use to anyone else, but I'm proud of it, so I wanted to share. If you are interested, it can be downloaded here.

I'm not sure if this behaviour is intentional or not, but I've discovered that when Alfred exports a workflow, he destroys any embedded custom icons the files might have had.
 
Exhibit A:

 
This is how I had the file in the workflow folder. I'd embedded the icon because certain applescripts require "with icon of file" rather than being able to use the image directly.
 
However, after re-importing the workflow back into Alfred (or just unzipping it directly in the Finder)...
 
Exhibit B:

 
I did wonder if this was just a result of the zipping process. However, if I zip the files with the built-in Mac "Archive" utility, the unzipped version shows the icon as expected.
 
Is this an intentional space-saving measure, or an unintended consequence/bug? 

I've been keeping Alfred 2 in sync between my MacBook Pro and Mac mini manually since the v2 beta came out, and was thrilled to see syncing finally come in.  However, after fumbling with it for an hour back and forth, I had to delete the syncing folder in Dropbox to make it stop.
 
Alterations made to the default settings in preferences on one machine (let's say starting with the Mac mini, though this went back and forth several times) would invalidate those alterations on the other machine (let's say the MacBook Pro), essentially resetting it to default preferences, including the deletion of all added themes. Attempts to correct the issue on the MacBook Pro would reset the Mac mini to default prefereces, deleting the added themes again.
 
Very frustrating. I've since set them both to where they were before manually, and neither of them are syncing with Dropbox.
 
Love the app, and love the work you guys are doing, though.
