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.
* 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.
