Been using this for years and I'm grateful that you made it. It's AWESOME. Thanks! 

I'm wondering if it's possible to move selected files to a fave folder using applescript. I say applescript, because Alfred's "Move to..." action copies rather than moves if you're trying to move between volumes. 

This would be so handy as I have hundreds of files that need to be categorised into subfolders within a single directory.

I know less than nothing about scripting, but someone kindly came up with the goods here and I was wondering if this might be usable...?

Sorry to necro an old thread. This would solve a big organisational headache for me but I've got an issue. I have hundreds of files that I want to move into subfolders of one directory. I can move the file to the parent directory (i.e. I type its name and then hit enter), but if I drill down to select a subfolder within it, hitting enter just opens the folder in a new FInder window. Is that expected behaviour?

nice to know i'm not going mad. :-)

...although I did get my shortcuts muddled up. they're in my muscle memory but not in my brain, apparently!

cmd+shift+3 = whole screen screenshot, saved to desktop
cmd+shift+4 = drag cursor to define screenshot area, saved to desktop

cmd+shift+ctrl+3 = whole screen screenshot, saved to clipboard
cmd+shift+ctrl+4 = drag cursor to define screenshot area, saved to clipboard

None of these work opens a 'screenshot window' and none of them work for me with the workflow. 

I just tried Webscreenshot and, bizarrely, it takes a screenshot of the desktop wallpaper, despite other screens being in front of it. Very strange, but feels like it's very close to working! 

EDIT: i had to give Alfred permission to record my screen and now it works! phenomenal! thankyou @vitor!!

I think you mean cmd+shift+3/4 for screenshots.

Cmd+shift+3 takes a screenshot as a png and saves it to the desktop. Cmd+shift+4 takes a screenshot and copies it to the clipboard. Neither of these opens a "screenshot window". 
 

Cmd+C from the desktop doesn't do anything and I just get "Did not upload anything. The last clipboard item is not an image" when running the Alfred workflow.

It doesn't work that way, however I just tested it and it does copy and paste but not the original image. See my test here. You have to copy the image to your clipboard, like using a porgram, e.g. screenshot on macOS and then copy with cmd + c and then paste with the workflow.

Hi. I'm trying to make sense of what you're saying. So you take a screenshot, then copy with cmd+c... what do you mean copy? Copy the file? Open the file in preview, select the image and copy? I don't understand.

The test image you sent is a png logo. Is that what you took a screenshot of?

Perhaps I'm missing something, but when I take a screenshot, there is an image (png) on the clipboard. I invoke this workflow and it tell's me there's no image on the clipboard. Same happens if I select an image file on the desktop and hit cmd+C. Any suggestions?

This is very handy. I don't know anything about scripting, but I'm wondering if it would be a simple thing to create a version of that script that does the following:

Ejects all disk images (not disks). 

That's it. No selecting, no trashing, just a one-button disk image ejector. 

Failing that, I presume that deleting the second half of your script will do the ejecting part without the trashing part, as so:

log() {
    echo "$@" >/dev/stderr
}

log "name=$dmgname, mount=$dmgmount, path=$dmgpath"

# unmount
out="$( hdiutil detach "$dmgmount" 2>&1 )"
hds=$?
if [[ $hds -ne 0 ]]; then
    log "hdiutil exit status: $hds"
    log "$out"
    echo "$out"
    exit 1
fi

Easy enough.

 

Download on GitHub or Packal.

maybe i misunderstand how it's supposed to work, but i just installed the packal, selected an image on the desktop and hit the hotkey.. nothing. i'm on catalina, so maybe that's it?
