Tsunami got a reaction from Reg in cannot find a screenshot folder 3 (mac os default) via Alfred
Alfred does not show files and folders by default, like Spotlight does. Instead, press the Spacebar to trigger File Search, and then type the name of the file or folder.

Tsunami got a reaction from wealthychef in Why does Alfred not see this file, which I know exists?
Unless you enabled it, Alfred doesn't show files in its default results. Use the 'open' keyword to find files, or press the Spacebar before typing the filename.

Tsunami got a reaction from rob213 in how to change the default Alfred Shortcuts
You can type ?hotkeys to get a list of all hotkeys, and opening an item opens the Alfred Preferences page where you can change it.
This is documented on https://www.alfredapp.com/help/getting-started/preferences-search/.

Tsunami reacted to dood in Tempo-inspired Theme
Sure! Aside from a few padding adjustments, I opted to use Lato for the font and make some of the text bigger.

Tsunami got a reaction from vitor in Cannot launch Apple Mail with Option + Space Bar + Mail,
The Mac App Store version is very outdated. Download Alfred 4 from https://www.alfredapp.com.

Tsunami got a reaction from Chris Messina in Alfred 4.5 Beta: Take a first look at Universal Actions
Will there be an option at some point to have a different display text for custom web searches in the action panel, like the built-in web searches have? Alfred doesn't replace {query} in the action panel results, so it looks a bit silly
-
Tsunami reacted to Andrew in Alfred 4.5 Beta: Take a first look at Universal Actions
Ah this is a bug - it replaces {query} to ... for workflow keywords and script filters, but not for custom web searches. I'll fix this.

Tsunami got a reaction from Jendker in [SOLVED] How to disable Spotlight indexing?
Yes, and remove your disk from the Privacy tab. Spotlight will probably have to reindex all your files again, which will temporarily cause high energy usage.
-
Tsunami got a reaction from Jendker in [SOLVED] How to disable Spotlight indexing?
Alfred uses the Spotlight index to find your files, so I'm not sure why you would want to disable it.

Tsunami got a reaction from Habeneck in [SOLVED] Paste bookmark URL in active window
You can already use Cmd+C to copy a bookmark's URL in Alfred. It even closes Alfred, so you can paste it immediately.

Tsunami reacted to Mpco in Recent Documents / Apps ?
This workflow can list documents and apps opened recently.
Especially, it can list files opened recently by the foremost app.
System: macOS 10.11+
Github: https://github.com/mpco/Alfred3-workflow-recent-documents
Usage
You can press Enter to open the file in result, or press ⌘CMD-Enter to reveal it in Finder.
Tap rr to list files opened recently by the foremost app.
For example:
Recent folders will be listed when Finder is foremost. Recent rtf, text files will be listed when TextEdit app is foremost. Recent *.sketch files will be listed when Sketch app is foremost. Recent *.xcodeproj project files will be listed when Xcode app is foremost. The subtitle of each result consists of ⏱modified time and ?path of the file.
Tap rf to list recent folders.
Opening recent folders is very common in use. Tapping rf is a more efficient way, even though you can activate Finder and then tap rr.
Tap rd to list recent files.
These files were recently opened by user, not like rr which is just for the foremost app.
Tap ra to list apps opened recently.
Exclude folders from the results.
You can add private folder pathes separated by colon : to the Workflow Environment Variable ExcludedFolders. The results will not show private folders and any files inside them.
For example: ~/privateFolder1/:/Users/G/privateFolder2/

Tsunami got a reaction from Andrew in [SOLVED] Invalid link on Help page
On https://www.alfredapp.com/help/features/clipboard/dynamic-placeholders/, below the first image is a list. The "Workflow variables" item links to #variables, but the corresponding <h2>Including Workflow Variables</h2> is missing id="variables".

Tsunami got a reaction from chrispoole in Open terminal here, current terminal window?
I use iTerm instead of Terminal, so I'm not sure if this code catches all conditions, but you can do this:
Open Alfred Preferences, click the Features tab and click Terminal / Shell in the sidebar. Set Application to Custom and paste this script in the large textfield: on alfred_script(q) tell application "Terminal" if exists window 1 then do script q in window 1 else do script q end if activate end tell end alfred_script Close Alfred Preferences to save the changes.
Note that when you run a Terminal command manually with Alfred (by prefixing it with ">"), it will now also run in the existing window.
-
Tsunami reacted to chrispoole in Open terminal here, current terminal window?
Perfect! I've used a bit of AppleScript I've been using with Emacs for years:
on alfred_script(q) tell application "Terminal" try if (count of windows) is 0 then do script q else do script q in window 1 end if activate on error beep end try end tell end alfred_script That works a treat: if I already have a Terminal window open it'll send the commands there, otherwise it'll create a new window.

Tsunami reacted to Andrew in Filter after Hotkey breaks the workflow when Hotkey is used in Finder [Fixed 3.6.2 b921]
@Tsunami Ah interesting, I see what you're saying now. I've taken a look at the code and it looks like the filter only operates when there is a string fed into it, but the hotkey selection passes a list of one or more files out of it.
I'll get this sorted for the next release
Cheers,
Andrew

Tsunami got a reaction from giovanni in [SOLVED] custom search from a list
You can use a List Filter input connected to an Open URL action. For each List Filter item, set Title and Arg to the name of the label. Subtitle is optional. Then set the URL for the Open URL action to "https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#label/{query}".

Tsunami reacted to dvor in Lightweight emoji and kaomoji
This is a workflow for looking up for emoji and kaomoji from getdango.com.
Similar workflows already exist, however they are written in Node.js which has lots of dependencies. You have to either install them with npm or store 60+ megs in your cloud when syncing Alfred settings.
This extension is written in Swift. It doesn't have any external dependencies and takes only 10 MB on disk when unpacked. You can download it on GitHub.
Type "e" to trigger emoji search:
Type "k" to trigger kaomoji search:
Source code is available on GitHub.

Tsunami got a reaction from kodiak in File Icons Above the Right Edge of the Alfred Bar and More Noob Questions
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.

Tsunami reacted to alfredclough in [SOLVED] How to fix Text Encoding Error with AppleScript in Workflow
I used NSPasteboard. For reference in case someone else lands here, here's what I used. The first option gets the html version of what's on the clipboard, the second version gets the text (how Alfred returns the clipboard in a workflow). In the first option, you could use other formats (rtf, etc) as per Apple's documentation.
from AppKit import * # Get the current clipboard directly from Mac pb = NSPasteboard.generalPasteboard() # Check if we need html format from the clipboard if ulFormat == "html": cbDirect = pb.stringForType_("public.html") else: cbDirect = pb.stringForType_(NSStringPboardType)
