thank you @Andrew 

The reference in question is quite technical. 

could you give one or more practical examples of what the addition of the  JSON script + extra filter allows you to do as as opposed to using  only one filter, and I suggest you add the examples to the documentation.

I'm sorry for bothering you with questions. I think that it's normal that I understand it as an Alfred user, especially in view of the fact that maman @Vero's dynamic file filter is quoted so often in the forum. 

thanks again

In @Vero 's Dynamic File Search workflow, what is the added value of the JSON script and the 2nd file filter ?

thank you

Hello, I would like to comment and especially add URLs to my workflows. The URLs are links to explanatory Bear notes, Alfred Forum URLs etc. What would be the best way to do this ?

thank you

thank you @deanishe

thank you @deanishe

great @Vero thanks very much

@Vero

I took the translation web site https://www.dict.cc/ and converted it to an app which I call dictcc.app using the web site → app converter called Fluid

It works very well and I don't end up with 50 open dict.cc tabs in Chrome at the end of the day (opened every time I do a search)

I would like to 

- call up Alfred

- type dict spacebar “word to translate”dict

I am able to do it as a URL, but as I mentioned, I end up with 50 dictcc tabs open at the end of the day.

please note that as soon as I open the “app” the cursor is in the searchbox

thank you Vero

With websites, no problem. Can I do it with apps ?

For example a translation app. I would like to open the app and paste directly into the search box (which opens automatically) the text I want to translate.

thank you

@deanishe 

would it be possible to give me the link to a reference explaining the fields tab ?

I notice for example that you can specify kind but there is no option to indicate which kind (pdf, .pages, etc)

herzlichen Dank

thanks very much @deanishe !

 Thank you @deanishe for your reply.

The following is precisely what I do not understand.

This is @Vero 's template workflow.

1- Would you be so kind as to explain the first 3 steps of the workflow ? I know that the steps are explained but I don't understand the logic. Example: do I enter the same information (folder and file types) in both file filters ? the same keyword ?

2- as I explained in my post above, can I exclude certain files ? I want to exclude all fines containing the word backup

3- can I make the results box bigger so I don't have to scroll down ?

I am completely confused.

Thank you very much !

thank you..

thank you @Vero for replying to my post.

that's precisely the point. I don't know which one to choose

Could you point me to a workflow which does the following

• searches in a specific folder like ~/Documents/Scrivener
• assigns a keyword, ie the search is prompted if I type scr (scr + space)
• search for a specific kind of file, for example .scriv
• will recognize any word in the filename, ie I do not have to start with the correct word (otherwise it's useless for me)
• will open the file when I click Enter (or any keypress you prefer) 
• ideally I would also like to have the option to
  • filter files by name, for example all files containing the name troubleshooting. By this I mean that a workflow by design will only select files containing the word tax for example.
  • also to exclude those files which contain certain words in the name. My point is that when I work on complicated files, I do frequent backups which have the same filename except that I add BAK date-time to the name. I would like to exclude all files containing BAK in the filename

Please understand: if I can see the workflow, I think that I will be able to understand how to edit it, and I can always ask you, but I am very frustrated in my efforts to achieve the above, which should be quite basic.

I would also like to see some of your more advanced file searches just so I can dissect them and better understand your son Alfred.

I don't understand how some file searches can expect the user to remember the exact sequence of words in the title.

merci maman Vero !

I duplicated  @Vero 's excellent Dynamic Filesearch to create my own folder and file extension specific searches.

If I type the keyword followed a space followed by the filename, the workflow expects me to remember the filename starting with the first word of the filename.

For example, if I have a file called

covid map texas aug 2020

the workflow expects me to type covid. I can't just type texas or map which makes the workflow useless because there is no way that I remember exact filenames ie the sequence of words. All file search engines work on the premise of name contains searchword, not name starts with searchword

Is there something that I don't understand ? 

thank you !

thank you Vero

Hello, I post on different forums including Scrivener, Reddit, keyboard maestro, Alfred.

I want to create a workflow which would allow me to trigger alfred → type f followed by space → I type in a few letters of forum name (like scr for Scrivener) → URL opens in browser.

I would be grateful if someone could put me on the right track to create such a workflow

thanks in advance for your time and help

hello, I would be grateful is someone could put me on the right path to create a workflow to search for files in a specific folder including/excluding subfolders. thank you !

Thank you!

thank you very. Last question : to better understand how to create my own workflow, I would like to be able to see and edit those workflows which I downloaded as above. How would I do that ? I would also like to understand how to edit those keywords: d and dd are not optimal for my purposes.

thanks again very much

Hello Vero,

thank you for your reply.

The workflow is described here https://forums.getdrafts.com/t/swipe-my-alfred-workflow-for-drafts-for-mac/3949 and downloaded from https://www.evernote.com/shard/s5/client/snv?noteGuid=21c3d6e0-f534-4701-86ca-24e598aae980&noteKey=f0204912531dc350&sn=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.evernote.com%2Fshard%2Fs5%2Fsh%2F21c3d6e0-f534-4701-86ca-24e598aae980%2Ff0204912531dc350&title=Alfred%2Bworkflow%2Bfor%2BDrafts%2Bfor%2BMac

I am sorry: I don't see any mention of keyboard on my pref - workflow - drafts for mac screen

thank you again

Hello

I just installed version 4 on Mojave.

I downloaded my first workflow from your library (for the drafts app) and can't figure out how to trigger it. When I press option-command to trigger the Alfred bar and type in the name of the workflow, none is found. 

Send basic. There is something I obviously don't understand

Thank you for your time and help

Hello,

Using Alfred 3 + Powerpack on Sierra, all latest versions, using the Clipboard, I am able to copy text and copy images, but as soon as the copied item includes both text (arrow below) and an image (red box below), Alfred only displays the text in the clipboard history.

Thank you for your time and help

this is what I wanted to copy: one line of text (underlined + arrow)  + image below (in box)
