Hello @Vero and @Andrew, thank you for a very useful workflow. How would I modify the workflow so that once I type in the keyword and tag followed by return, all the pertinent files are automatically listed without having to type * followed by Enter.

The equivalent of being in Chrome → Bookmarks manager → find folder of interest → right click → open all

thanks in advance for your time and help

How do I specify to resize the image in the clipboard  as below ?

thanks in advance for your time and help

thanks in advance for your time and help

example

A forum search yielded nothing

I use the workflow regularly and would have a question for the author.

I looked through the workflow and could not find any contact information ie link to the alfred forum or repository of workflows.

thanks in advance for your time and help

Hello, 

I have a zillion keywords and often forget them. I don't want to go the keyboard shortcut route (I have too many in Keyboard Maestro already).

For example, I have multiple alfred keywords containing the term index.

When I type ?keywords index, I end up with a list of files whose keyword contains "index" which is excellent. In other words, it's kind of a substitute for keyword autocomplete, which is basically what I am looking for.

Unfortunately, I don't see any way to open those files. The modifier keys simply navigate to the workflow, not the file.

thanks in advance for your time and help

thank you for the new version @drgrib ! very much appreciated !

Add a Copy to Clipboard Output and double-click the connection to change the shortcut.

I added the action, use ⌃ as a connection, but all I end up with is a google search of the keyword. thank you for your patience.

Note that workflow works perfectly otherwise.

thank you @giovanni !

thanks very much @vitor !

thanks in advance for your time and help

you might be better off duplicating the workflow and creating individual ones for folders and files for ease and search efficiency

I think that it's the best option. Just want to make sure that there is no way to suddenly switch to another workflow, as I wanted to add a workflow in addition to reveal in finder and open file.

thanks very much @Vero

thank you very much @Vero . It's crystal clear and I will follow your instructions. I imagine that it would be asking too much to modify the workflow to be able to decide at one point of the search "OK, from now on search for files and folders" ?

Hello,

In Dynamic File Search Workflow a lot, once I find the file or folder that I am looking for, I would like to add the option to press a modifier key (for example ⌃⌥ ) to copy the path of the file in the alfred search bar (not the file selected in Finder) to the clipboard.

thanks in advance for your time and help

Hello,

I use @vero 's Dynamic File Search Workflow a lot. I would like to be able to open alfred → type FF (the keyword) → select the folder of interest → continue searching specifically for sub-folders in that folder of interest (not the files).

thanks in advance for your time and help

thank you very much @chowderresearcher

@Andrew one last question and I shall leave you in peace

just to avoid a future confusion like the one that led to my current question: may I rename or delete ~LibraryApplication SupportAlfredAlfred.alfredpreferences if I am using the sync option in dropbox ?

thank you

thank you @Andrew

Sorry : now I am confused again.

I set up the sync, although I only have one mac. Reason is that I wanted to have my preferences in dropbox.

I end up with 2 alfred preferences files

~DocumentsDropboxXXXXXXAlfred Preferences Sync/Alfred.alfredpreferences

~LibraryApplication SupportAlfredAlfred.alfredpreferences

As far as I understand, only the dropbox version is valid. The one in  library application support is a vestige ?

I am confused because in Keyboard Maestro, the synced file is just like an ongoing backup.  The actual preferences and macros remain in application support.

thank you all for your patience !

thank you

example, I type the keyword SCR to view files in my Scrivener folder. Instead of opening or navigating to a file, I want to edit the corresponding workflow in Alfred (which happens frequently)

I can't find the answer in the alfred cheatsheet

thanks you

thank you and my apologies

Also,  Is it OK if I chose a dropbox folder as a location for my Alfred.alfredpreferences file ?

thanks in advance for your time and help

great ! thanks very much @vitor
