Thank you. Happy Holidays!

Hi pseudometa,

Hope all is well.

Hyper Seek has been so great but unfortunately stops showing results again. Could it be the same problem like before? Thank you.

Hi Vitor,

The terminal opens but does not show the command. I followed your recommendation, used the run script action, and got the workflows working again. Thank you so much!

Hi All,

I have workflows using terminal commands to open links with a specified browser but they do not work after upgrading to Alfred 5.0.0 EA7 [2043]. When the workflows are activated, only a terminal window shows but the browser does not open the link as before. Is there any way to fix it? Thank you.

Hi Dean,

Hope all is well. The Default Folder X workflow has been wonderful in my daily work. I recently installed the version with updated Python support, but now it is stuck at "Please try again in a second or two". Could you please advise on how to fix it? Thank you for your time.

Hi Vitor,

I tried to use the updated Default Folder X workflow but it keeps stuck at "waiting for data" while other updated ones are working well. Below is what the debug window shows. How can I fix it? Please advise. Thank you.

Thank you for the great workflow!

Hi Vitor,

Below are great workflows I use daily. Thank you.

Hi Vero,

I followed the instructions but still have no luck to have Python-2 workflows run. Could it be because of what I did before seeing this post, as described by The right and wrong way to set up Python 3 on MacOS | Opensource.com? I did set the global version to 2.7.18. Thank you.

Best regards,

Roger

@ Mr Pennyworth

The "alfred filters results" box is unchecked. When I try the command in the terminal, I got the message below. I am running Big Sur 11.0.1. Could it be the cause of the problem? Thank you.

RCL@MBP ~ % open -g "asciimath://render?x^2+y^2"
The file /Users/rcl/asciimath:/render?x^2+y^2 does not exist.

Thank you for this great workflow. I have been trying it but found that powers are not shown properly. For example, X^2 only shows x without the power. Is there a way to fix it? Thank you.

Hi,

I tried to add a custom search URL (https://www.sacbee.com/news/databases/state-pay/article229468549.html), so that I can do the search within Alfred by typing the first name and last name. I followed the tutorial (https://www.alfredapp.com/help/features/web-search/) but had no luck. Is there a way to make it work? Thank you.
