Yup. Here's a simple workflow to show the size of a directory.

Change the folder variable in the configuration sheet to point it to a different directory (it's pointed at ~/Downloads by default), then enter the keyword dirsize to show the size in Alfred. It also has a File Action, so you can run it on any directory.

Thanks so much. How kind. I have also been trying out Hazel.

What a great community this is. Very much appreciated!

Thanks so much, deanishe!

I can certainly try KM, which I have 🙂

In the meantime, can I set up an Alfred workflow to check - even though I may have to call it manually for a result?

Have searched but couldn't find: is it possible, please, to have Alfred 4 Notify me when a certain directory reaches a predetermined size?

I put old .dmg and updater files etc into a directory, whose contents I then burn to CD when the size of that directory is around 700 MB.

Possible with Alfred?

TIA!

Thanks, Vitor - and there's no preferred way to back .workflows up as such in the Alfred Preferences?

Yes - you're right about an extension: I whitelisted this site in 1Blocker and all is well 🙂 .

All appreciated!

Great! Thanks again, Vitor 🙂 .

I think I've got it amended as you kindly suggest - BUT what I obviously now have to do next is go back to your docs and work my way through them.

Which will be a pleasure.

One quick thing, if I may, that seems more immediate: what's considered good practice with .alfredworkflow files - does it matter where they're kept once I've imported them? is there really no need to save any workflow etc?

Two little things actually: is it a known bug (apparently) that the arrow keys don't work when editing here on this forum?

Thanks again!

Is there anything which Alfred cannot do!

Thanks again for offering to help!

I set up a Workflow as per the attached grab. I think I got everything I need.

Can you see anything I may have missed out, please; or any improvements I could make?

🙂 !

Thanks so much, Vitor!

That was quick - and very welcoming - much appreciated: I'll download, buy and try for myself (have bookmarked those to URLs), asking again if (I may) if I run into difficulties.

I knew I did the right thing by going with Alfred 🙂 .

Hi - completely new to Alfred 🙂.

Before buying the Powerpack, I'd like to know, please, if it can automate one of the routines I do most often: open Safari and about a dozen Safari tabs to switch between the sites I visit most often.

Very grateful for any help/advice - and ideally confirmation - that Alfred 3 + Powerpack can do such things…
