Thank you @vitor!

I’ll explore the options further and get back with the findings.

Hi,

I’ve created 3 Google Chrome desktop application shortcuts in this way: https://support.google.com/chrome_webstore/answer/3060053?hl=en

It looks like this now:

I want to create a workflow that will enable me to pass a query — text to be translated — to each 3 applications. The purpose of the workflow is translation of the word in all 3 instances at once, and the purpose of having application shortcuts is more independent management of apps.

What I know is that they are mere URLs, but my problem is that I don’t have a clue how to replace/insert another URL inside it. The (possibly) only API I’ve found is this one: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/management/#method-createAppShortcut

I would greatly appreciate forum experts help — any ideas?

Just to confirm, I’ve downloaded the latest version of the workflow and it works, thanks @vitor!

I think I know what causes confusion in people: there is no system notification when the process is finished. Debugger showed nothing at then end that could indicate that “it’s done”, it was just pending. But after a few hours I gave it a shoot, and the files appeared.

So glad that we have this. 🙏

Hi guys, new here, because I haven't had any problems with Alfred so far. Yesterday after updating to Monterey my system is no longer indexing Google Drive. I'm not sure if anyone ever had a solution to this yet. mdutil won't turn it on either. Whatever I do it just keeps saying "Indexing and searching disabled" I really need to get this feature back because I'm constantly looking up files for my workflow. Any suggestsions?

 

Thanks!

It seems it doesn’t have to do with updating to Monterey as it stopped working for me on Big Sur a couple of days ago. 

Confirming that this is the case — you will have to reindex each time you restart, and depending on the size of your drives it may take a while.

However, since I’m restarting my computer relatively rarely (max. once in a couple of days), it still pays off for me to reindex it. Since I don’t have a huge no. of files over there it’s finished in a couple of minutes.

Not a solution, but definitely better with it than without it.

I also found this, might be releated?

I also have two Google Drives on my system/finder. One of them is working just fine, perfectly searchable through Alfred/Spotlight. The other does not work at all. I'm also on Alfred 4.3.4.

I have the same problem, one Google drive is indexed in both Spotlight and Alfred, while the other isn’t; both are loaded via Google Stream.

If you’ve set up syncing in Alfred Preferences (under Advanced), that should be taken care of as well.

Many thanks!

Is there a way to export my custom web searches? I’ve set up a ton of them and need to wipe out the HDD.
