Perhaps I am not understanding what you want exactly, but, how does one copy a specific file unless one has already found it? There is no need to search for a file by navigating menus with Alfred, just by using "SPACE" before your search in Alfred you can search anything. The script above is just a file action script ... duplicating a file IS a file action. Can you perhaps be a bit more specific in your exact need?

Try this out: http://www.alfredforum.com/topic/5914-file-action-duplicate And at the end of the script add the following to open the file in it's associated app: open "$name-1.$ext" To reveal the file in Finder, add the following to the end of the script: open -R "$name-1.$ext"

Thank you 'homever' and 'Mitt@V2EX' ... it works nicely now with iTunes 12.3.2 and El Cap 10.11.3

You can create a folder anywhere on your HDD, and drag and drop urls or WEBLOC files (From Safari's Address Bar) into the folder. Create a new workflow from Templates/Files and Apps/File filter from keyword and open. Under Basic Setup of the file filter you will put the keyword you want to use to search the folder. Under the File Types, just drag one of the webloc files into the list area so the workflow knows it's only searching for those types of files. Under Search Scope, drag the folder you created into the file area so it knows only to search that folder. then hit save. Now, when you type your keyword with a space and * ... it will show all weblocs in a list and you can select one to open, or you could even highlight one and hit SHIFT to quicklook it right from alfred. If you type your keyword + a title you know is in there, it will show just that one ... using autocomplete and such. I'm sure someone with advanced knowledge can tell you how to write a script to read the bookmarks.plist file safari stores in the library folder with parsing and all that, but it's a bit advanced for me personally.

Thanks for chiming in deanishe! I searched Google for the rounding and found so many it flustered me ... as I'm a bit more comfortable with BASH than OSA.

First, create a new workflow (BLANK) From top right hit the + button and select "Triggers" - "Hotkey" Double click the hotkey trigger, and set your hotkey Then for Action, select "Pass through to workflow" Then for Argument, select "Selection in OS X" Click Save Again click the + at the top right and select "Actions" - "Run Script" Double click on the Run Script and for language select "osascript (AS)" Deselect all the Escaping options. In the script area paste the following: tell application "Finder" set selectedItem to (item 1 of (get selection)) set informationList to {} copy ("Size: " & size of selectedItem & " (" & physical size of selectedItem & ")") to end of informationList end tell Then Save Then again, click the top right + and select "Outputs" - "Large Type" Finally connect the Hotkey to the Run Script, and then the Run Script to the Large Type. NOTE: There are many ways of getting file info, the above shows the exact file size and size on disc as shown when simply using CMD + I on a file.

I tried with CR2 files initially, then JPG ... same results

OS X 10.11.1 (15B42) Lightroom Build 1046594

Yes, that is exactly how I tried to open multiples in Lightroom here. And again, on MY machine, it only selected the first of the 3 I tried to import.

I am not familiar with Lightroom, but it MAY have to do with the underlying scripting in Creative Cloud's apps. LUA or whatever. I've tried this with BetterTouchTool, Alfred and an Automator workflow and whenever trying to load multiples into Lightroom, it only selects the first image of the multiples I send. Also, whenever I try to open with in Finder, it STILL only selects the first image of multiples on my machine. However, when simply dragging multiples into Lightroom, it all works fine. So unless someone here is familiar with Lightroom's inner workings, I would suggest trying to find a plugin/script online, specific to selection of files and importing into Lightroom ... I found one after a bit of searching on my own that worked with Windows/Mac, but it was OLD ... 2004. Or more specifically, perhaps get on the Adobe forums and ask there.

Your settings are right, and testing here with TextEdit and multiple files, it all works. So I am thinking it may be the app you are opening into, and how Alfred sends the files ... although I have to admit I don't know much about the inner workings of Alfred. Which app are you opening into?

Is setting a keyboard shortcut NOT what you are looking for? Because you can do that in System Preferences/Keyboard/Shortcuts/Services.

did you try "Adobe Photoshop CC" as the application?

You have no menu number: IE click menu item "Start Working" of menu 1 Now, I don't know about hubstaff, but check out this post on Stack Overflow, as it may shed some light on targeting the menu extra item: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16492839/applescript-on-clicking-menu-bar-item-via-gui-script

First, is SIP enabled on your system ... it should be by default, but some folks disable it to run certain things. Open terminal and type the following: csrutil status It should say "System Integrity Protection status: enabled." You CAN repair permissions with El Capitan, but it's a bit of work, by running Disk Utility from the Recovery partition, which should repair any mis-set permissions even on files protected by SIP, as well as repairing any repairable file system issues. Also, you could try ONYX 3.1.1 which will repair permissions for files not protected by SIP. And, do you have a Time Machine backup that you could restore Alfred from that you know worked? Aside from those suggestions, I personally could only recommend a clean install.

Seems to work perfectly for me. Thank You multicolor!

Take a look at Andrew's response here: http://www.alfredforum.com/topic/1321-wheres-plaintext-paste/

Click on your name at the top of the page and select "My Settings" Then on the page that loads select "Email & Password" Type in your old info, and then new.

I also have this issue. Open folders in tabs instead of new windows is also checked. Alfred 2.8 (414) OS X 10.11 (15A284)

Oh, I get it. OK, this behaviour seems odd to me. I don't recall this happening before El Capitan.

That sounds like a Finder issue, try relaunching Finder. It MAY be a dock issue too, so open terminal and type the following: killall Dock The dock will close and then automatically relaunch.

Normally yes, as the services are stored in an info.plist upon system startup.

Open the service in Automator, and use the "Save As" command ... delete the one you don't need, and log out and back into OS X.

Not really no. But, one could convert the file actions from Alfred into system services with Automator. Depending on how many file actions you have though, this could clutter up the Services menu quite a bit. As it is, more than 5 are put into a sub menu. So, it's probably best just to use the shortcut specific to Alfred, and bring in your files using Alfred specific file actions.
