Thanks a lot for this @Floating.Point! Can believe I missed the browse object. I've updated the workflow, now even simpler (I like that!). Another benefit with the browser object is that user configuration can be used to select the folder.

I decided to add this since it's one of my most used Hotkey triggered workflows. No doubt you all have created a couple of similar ones covering your own needs. --- Say if you’re the author or submitting someone else’s workflow. I'm the author.

This is so good it should be a native Alfred feature. Absolutely necessary for your productivity, not only can you do more without the mouse, you don't even have to create a Hotkey! I'm triggering it with Cmd+Space. --- Say if you’re the author or submitting someone else’s workflow. I'm not the author, @Benzi is. Share a link to its thread on the Alfred Forum, if available.

Possible to list and trigger macOS Shortcuts from Alfred
pontus replied to Lino's topic in Workflow Help & Questions
Are there any plans for this to be integrated as a feature in Alfred itself? -
My workaround is to add the project folders to the Privacy tab in Spotlight prefs. It's not perfect but I rarely search for source code files with Alfred or Spotlight. Of course you could also add all folders named node_module but that would be harder to back track. For this approach, do a Finder search and just drag n drop.

Yeah, made me rediscover this workflow. Super handy! Big thanks

Thanks, I've done the same thing with native workflow objects. Works ok as a temporary solution.

Ok Thanks for the swift reply.

Any chance this could be a built-in Alfred feature? @Vero

Smarter handling of iCloud application folders
pontus replied to pontus's topic in Alfred Feature Suggestions
This is exactly the reason I don't want them to show up in Alfred. Btw I understand how mobile apps use iCloud to sync settings, but that's something else from the concept iCloud Drive imho. Also, when I open the Mobile Documents-folder for eg. Monument Valley it is completely empty, not even any hidden files. So I really hope my progress in the game is saved somewhere else... Thanks for the help on this, I will try it out. And a handy tips for the future (the touch setting is already on). -

… and for the folder ~/Dropbox/Documents it must be something else going on. It seems to have a weird behaviour in general. -
Smarter handling of iCloud application folders
pontus replied to pontus's topic in Alfred Feature Suggestions
Thanks for the tips but no luck. Correction to my last post: Since it was really strange that I got a different behaviour from you, I turned of some custom file search workflows that I was using, and that did change things. The "strange" folders are now opening in Finder (still empty and irrelevant as described above). And I am still not sure they should be visible as normal folders: Both spotlight search and finder search does show these folders but handles them differently. Spotlight does the same as Alfred, Finder shows me iCloud Drive. I am not able to navigate in Finder to these folders. I have tried "Go to Folder…" for example with this path ~/Library/Mobile Documents/8Z3V4F58RK~com~ustwo~monumentvalley/Documents Finder is hiding the contents of the "folder" Mobile Documents, see picture. If I double click on the name, Finder shows the iCloud Drive folder. -
Smarter handling of iCloud application folders
pontus replied to pontus's topic in Alfred Feature Suggestions
Hi, I have now had time to look more into this: This is not at all the case for me: I have actioned almost every single one of the items in Alfred, they all jump to the iCloud "root" folder (iCloud Drive) after Finder first shows my user folder (~/) for about 0,1 seconds. The folders that is shown in Finder on my iCloud Drive doesn't appear in the list in Alfred, so I am not able to try those, eg. Preview (picture attached). That is possibly true but in my case I have no mobile app folders, only desktop app folders (see picture). But in Alfred I cannot see the desktop app folders – only mobile app folders and other "strange" ones. And regarding the mobile app folders I don't believe the app Monument Valley uses iCloud Drive (there are a lot of other mobile apps showing up as well most of those apps doesn't have the functionality to save any documents, and certainly not syncing them on iCloud Drive). Here are a few examples of "strange" folders: iCloud Drive/US-Canada/Documents iCloud Drive/Documents/Documents iCloud Drive/Spotlight/Documents iCloud Drive/Monument Valley/Documents For me, the bug is that when I action a folder in Alfred the folder is not shown in Finder. The feature suggestion would be to be able to hide folders that is actioned correctly, but for the user still is "annoying" (but that feature exists already?). That would have been great, the problem is that the "Dropbox/Documents" doesn't even make it to the list in the first place. All the best Pontus -

Thanks for your answer. I figured the problem was in spotlight rather than Alfred. The weirdest part is that they show up but at the same time cannot be opened. I don't use these folders much so I should probably just make Alfred ignore them. Cheers Pontus
