Hello,
 
I use the dictionary feature a lot, and I think it would be great to have the option to view the full definition right in Alfred, instead of a single line which rarely ever provides useful insights. This makes me open the Dictionary app every time, which is very inefficient. This is the default Spotlight behavior (phrases using the word and etymology are also included, and it's really useful) and it works well. Lacona does this too.  
 
Thanks!

The regular dropbox action works fine for me. The ⌥ version doesn’t: [ERROR: action.script] osascript: ./dropbox-option-down.scpt: No such file or directory. You haven’t included the script.
 
 
Because most scripting languages interpret the script instead of compiling it.

It does, as far as I can tell.
 
 
No, Alfred runs them the normal way. And it's hardly a big issue anyway.
 
If you don't want the scripts to change, save them as .applescript (text) files instead of compiled scripts.

Yes.

The argument from Alfred will come from whatever Keyword you choose. To pass it to the script, use osascript ./Script.scp "${1}".

Put your Script.scpt (or whatever) inside the Workflow’s directory. Make a Run Script with /bin/bash as the Language. Make it osascript ./Script.scpt.

Yes.
 
 
Yes.

No. File Actions are the only elements that natively handle multiple items, and they can't be used with clipboard entries.
 
If you're feeling adventurous, you could write a workflow that reads Alfred's clipboard history (it's an SQLite database), extracts the entries that are paths and presents them back to Alfred as files. Then you can add them to the Buffer, use File Actions on them etc.
 
 
No. You have to use the system text replacements for things you want to sync.

Jump to files and folders when opening or saving

This is based on http://blog.qsapp.com/post/72195815293/go-to-here-again

coming from QuickSilver, I use this script alot, I converted it to work with Alfred 2

You can download it @ http://www.packal.org/workflow/go-here

The standard Finder Go To Folder… shortcut ⇧⌘G works in Open/Save dialogs. It's not as good as Alfred's navigation, but no need for the mouse.

macOS text replacements don’t work in every app, making them immediately less useful.
 
 
You can search in Alfred and drag and drop the result directly from Alfred to the save panel.
 
 
Take a look at Fuzzy Folders.
 
 
No.
 
 
Alfred Preferences → Features → Clipboard → Advanced → (untick) Move items to top of clipboard history when used
 
 
No, but you can ⌘L to see them as Large Type
 
 
No.

Here's a crack at it:
 
https://www.alfredforum.com/topic/11398-finder-scripts-including-opening-in-a-single-window/

Call top for an auto-updating list of processes, ordered by CPU usage. Type to filter by process name.



On each process:
+ ⌘↵ quits.
+ ⌥↵ forcibly kills.
+ ⌃↵ limits CPU usage.
+ fn↵ lowers priority (increases niceness).
+ ⇧↵ freezes.

↵ gives more granularity over the options.

I have re-implemented ctwise's excellent implementation of the Menu Search workflow in Swift.
 
This version is ever so slightly faster (at least on my machine ) - YMMV.
 
Requires OSX 10.7+
 
↓ Download

Refer Github README page for up-to-date information.
Usage
Type m in Alfred to list menu bar items for front most application You can filter menu items by name, or do a fuzzy search.
E.g
m new tab will match the menu item New Tab m cw will match the menu item Close Window  
Setup
Note that Accessibility must be enabled for Alfred in order for this to work correctly.
 
For example, in macOS Sierra, this is configured using the Security and Privacy preference pane, under the Privacy tab with the Accessibility section selected. Alfred must be included in the list of apps allowed to control your computer. This step is required for the workflow to generate the list of menu items, and also click on a specific menu item. 
 
Here's a snapshot of what the preference pane might look like in macOS Sierra.
 

 

Try ProcessControl. It does that and much more.

Hello,
 
I rely on Alfred exclusively for traversing my file system - opening files and folders with Finder, that is.
The problem is that every new folder that I open - unless it already is - is opened in a new tab. Since I jump to and from my Mac's directories like a wild ferret, a simple browsing session results in dozens of Finder tabs.
Is there ANY way to make folders open in a current/most recent Finder tab? This would be a real lifesaver.
Path Finder behaves likes this out of the box and it's really nice, but the rest of that software is so buggy I couldn't use it anymore.
 
Thanks!

List/Kill Top Processes by Memory/CPU/IO Usage
Get a glance of system status including internal battery, fan speed, CPU/GPU Temperature, bluetooth battery, disk capacity, etc.
Usage
0. Show Help
Just type -?, -h, or --help after the keyword to show help.

1. Top Processes
A. Keywords:
1.) top: Show a mixed processes list based on top cpu/memory usage.
1. top -m, top --memory to show processes ranked by memory usage
2. top -c, top --cpu, to show processes ranked by cpu usage
3. top -i, top --io, to show processes ranked by io usage with callback from top io trace collector.
Top IO requires [DTrace][Dtrace] and it would take a while to finish. The new callback design is to run the job in he background and post a notification (OSX 10.8+) using notification center. Click on the notification to show the result in alfred.

Modifier Key
none : The default action is to list files opened by process ID control : Kill the selected process command : kill forcefully (kill -9) alt : Nice (lower) the selected process's cpu priority shift : Search web for process information 2.) kill: Filter process to kill.
Modifier Key

Installation
Two ways are provided:
You can download the latest release from here and import into to Alfred. This method is suitable for regular users.
You can git clone or fork this repository and use rake install and rake uninstall to install. Check rake -T for available tasks. This method create a symlink to the alfred workflow directory: "~/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/Alfred.alfredpreferences/workflows". This method is suitable for developers.
Forked from Zhao Cai at https://github.com/zhaocai/alfred2--workflow as this was broken in High Sierra because it needed to have it's Ruby Gems re-packaged. Zhao is no longer active, so I decided to fix and fork it.
All I've done is re-package the Gems, fix Glance by using iStats (and forking that to make it easier to work with), and finally adding an item for AirPod batteries in Glance. The rest of the work is Zhao's!

Any difference to what you're doing in your screenshot (in terms of keypresses) is minimal.
 
Sorry I didn't understand earlier, but I'd assumed you didn't know the File Buffer shortcuts because I honestly don't see how they're meaningfully less efficient that what you're doing in the GIF.
 
In any case, you are free to select your files in Finder instead, and then go directly to Alfred's File Actions using the hotkey you've specified in Alfred Preferences > Features > File Search > Actions > File Selection.
 
 
That's your /Volumes directory. Typing /vo into Alfred is usually enough to take you there.

Your "Macintosh HD" (or whatever you've named your boot drive) will also be visible in /Volumes, but being the boot drive, it is mounted at /, so just entering / in Alfred will show you the contents of "Macintosh HD".
 
It won't match up exactly with what Finder shows, but that's because Finder lies an awful lot about the names, contents and locations of files. (Finder shows your filesystem filtered through Mac "magic", whereas Alfred shows the real underlying filesystem.)

File Filter No. Alfred can't find what's not indexed. You could probably start a Finder search with a Fallback Search Trigger.

Actually, using ⌥↓ to select a file, and ↓ to skip a file seems much more efficient than what's happening in your GIF, as you don't have to move your hands on the keyboard.
