Feature request for the 5.5 beta: Outputting data in table format:

@vitorthat's perfect - exactly what I was looking for 👊

Cheers @universe- also useful to know

This may already be possible, but is it possible for alfred to replace the file selector when uploading / selecting / saving files in finder? 

This would be an awesome feature to see - the alfred file navigator is so much faster than finder!

You are a legend, this is great.

x2 please - 'sort by date added' would be very useful.

Use case: Like a precision version of the 'recents' folder when using alfred file explorer. 90% of the time I'm looking for the most recently added file to a folder when navigating folders.

You are a hero, genuinely one of the most useful workflows ever. Like @JJJJ I was a big fan of the old google one

You can tab through all the fields, expect when you get to the Snippet area because in there you may really want a tab character. However, you can press ⌘S to save it (or Esc to cancel).

Doh! That's excellent, you've thought of everything 

Just a suggestion to make Alfred UI more keyboard friendly - when creating and saving a snippet, the user still has to go to the trackpad to save the snippet. There's a few examples of these in the Alfred UI, which would make sense to make entirely navigatable via the keyboard! 

I'm using Homerow here to bridge the gap, but full native keyboard support for saving snippets and moving around the Alfred preferences would be brilliant.

@Skone If you share your file filter workflow, we should be able to help you out, as it's likely to be different to the previous user's issue which was quite unique.

 

It would also be useful if you could provide the File Troubleshooting output from one of those bookmarks that is showing in your results that you don't expect to. Here's how you can use the File Troubleshooter:

Thanks Vero! So here's the workflow and an example of the results producing the bookmarks. It's probably me being stupid here, but I'd be grateful for any help

Anyone able to help with this?
 

I'm getting the following error despite having python & python3 installed on my system. How do I change where AlfredExtraPane looks for python? In Monterey 12.3.1 it should be /usr/local/bin/python not usr/bin/python.

> ./search.sh: AlfredExtraPane.app/Contents/Resources/scripts/alfred-extra-pane: /usr/bin/python: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

 

Would also love to use this!  And OP, what an exciting addition to Alfred, I hope it's on the roadmap for core. Would take workflows to a new level

@aharpole do you remember if there was anything specific that you did?

My file filter works (searching in the scope of one folder) but it is still showing bookmarks amongst the results 

This feature would be a fantastic addition to Alfred: the screenshot below is from bettertouchtool. A similar thing can be done in keyboard maestro - finding a button on screen in an app or web page and clicking.

This seems like the ultimate bridge for all automation, as it allows anyone to build custom workflows and create keyboard shortcuts for things that aren't natively supported. 

Thanks Vitor, that's very helpful 👌

This may be a stupid question, but is there a way to trigger a workflow on a specific app launch? e.g. when opening one app, to trigger opening another one, or when launching zoom to hide desktop? 

Very true! I use the duckduckgo 'i'm feeling lucky' as my main fallback search as a close (and more privacy friendly) approximation for this feature

The 'siri suggested website' feature is very powerful in safari search bar and I've found it to be extremely accurate. A possible workflow or feature to build this into alfred search would be awesome, much faster than typing a search term, selecting the fallback result, and clicking on the page of google results, when you know exactly what you want.

@bazerman That’s what I described.

Yes, although I mean as an object in the visual workflow builder for luddites like me to use

There is a native way in macOS shortcuts to run from a keyboard shortcut, but being able to run them as standard outputs within alfred workflows would be 👌👌

I miss the inline google search workflow! It was probably my most used workflow, I'm surprised there aren't more people wanting this. Has anyone made one for any other search engine since the google API changes?

Thanks Dean - it looks like it's finding my calendar events but not picking up any of the conference URLs

So glad you made this one Dean. If Alfred has access to the calendars, do you need to separately allow the workflow access to calendar? No prompt has come up, and the workflow isn't pulling up any upcoming meetings even after tweaking the event across different calendars and adjusting the config.

@roccitman You haven’t answered all the questions.

 

@bazerman Does that happen with all videos or just the one? The error you’re getting is from youtube-dl and should be fixed by updating. I cannot reproduce the error. Also, you haven’t answered all the requested points; namely the first two.

Thanks - it was happening with all videos. Although it was saying youtube-dl is up to date, I tried again after using

sudo youtube-dl -U

and that's now working

Vitor you're a legend. Happy to pay for your time if you can identify what's going wrong here:

I've run that command, youtube-dl is now up to date, but still showing URL invalid. Last time I used the workflow successfully was 2-3 days ago.

@vitor

 

Just wanted to say that I ran into an issue downloading YouTube videos, dug around a bit, and then realized that your workflow has a dependency on youtube-dl for those links. Problem resolved itself after a brew upgrade.

 

The debug didn't offer much in the way of advice. Would it make sense to build in some validation of the dependencies when the script throws an error? That way it'd be just a little bit easier for us to "self serve" when an error occurs.

 

Goes without saying i'm incredibly grateful, not just for your plugin but also for the fact it's kept updated. 😁

I'm having the same issue - previously working but not anymore - I don't think I have brew installed on this machine. How did you update it? If I hadn't installed brew before, would there be a different way to update the dependencies?

I see that preview shows the file size, is there any way to customise which fields show up in the file preview? For me, it only shows 'created' and 'modified', nothing I can see in the settings on how to change this.
