  1. I just want to offer a quick solution for anyone who happens to share my particular situation and is having trouble with this workflow. This only applies to you if you did a fresh install of Alfred 4 (the app, we aren't talking about your license) rather than an upgrade from Alfred 3. I got a new mac and used it as a chance to do a fresh install of Alfred 4, which keeps workflows in a different directory than before, breaking several workflows that used to work just fine. Alfred 3 files: ~/Library/Application Support/Alfred 3 Alfred 4 files: ~/Library/Application Support/Alfred ℹ️NOTE: If your computer already has the Alfred 3 directory, this solution is NOT for you. This workflow (and probably others like it) is using a hard coded path to the Alfred 3 directory and failing because it doesn't exist. Fortunately the solution is quite simple. Open terminal and type the following command, AFTER you replace both instances of `USERNAME` with the name of your home directory. Only use absolute paths for creating a symlink. ln -s "/Users/USERNAME/Library/Application Support/Alfred" "/Users/USERNAME/Library/Application Support/Alfred 3" * Never trust code you get from strangers on the internet. Know your system. Know the command you're using. Don't use it if you aren't sure. Press [Enter] after you enter the command in terminal. If it looks like nothing happened in terminal, you did it right. Yay! If you see a message, it's probably an error message, and ... you're on your own. Hopefully this helps someone else. @Carlos-Sz - Thanks for the great workflow. It's easily one of my most used. Cheers!
