Usage: I want to specify application for snippet collections so that say collection A snippets will only snip in Chrome.
 
Currently I can only the reversed way by selecting which apps I do not want snippet to occur under "auto expansion options". But since it applies to all collections it is inconvenient.
It would make more sense to just select the apps that I want, or select "snip for all apps" for each collection, or have "snip for all apps" be the default.
 
Basically, each snippet collection should have its own separate list of apps.

By "result" I mean "item" in the following.
I'm not sure what's the correct term 😝
 
"everything is a result" is an interesting philosophy.
Reminds me of "everything is a file" philosophy of Unix.
The universality brings simplicity and elegance too, no doubt!
 
However, the discussion of a third "valid:" state made me wonder...
(consideration of complexity and elegance aside)
What if everything is not a result? If a result isn't valid, is it really a result? After all, nothing could be done with it. Alfred already has specialized UIs, they are just not exposed to the workflows: Snippet and Clipboard History Viewer Mini Music Player The tiny "update available" notice What if Alfred exposed more UI elements for workflow authors? Given how elegantly crafted the whole workflow editor is, there's no doubt @Andrew could make a few well-designed, judiciously-crafted UI elements that fit into Alfred beautifully. To my naive eye, it looks like Alfred could benefit from a "notice" element.
The notice could be used as
a status indicator a progress monitor an error flag Someone could even go ahead and build a breadcrumbs UI using the notice.
(would be cool for multi-level-menus (I gather @deanishe would love better support for building multi-level-menus))
 
An example from Raycast (By a "notice element", I mean something like "Clipboard History" at the top left):

I understand that it's possible that this could be a stretch.
Also, it could be seen as "beginning of cluttering of UI".
 
It's just that I keep having this feeling that "valid: false" results don't belong with the main results, philosophically.
So throwing this out here for discussion

It'll be great useful if we can use snippet groups only when some specific applications activated. 

I support the request. When updating stuff for instance, it would be awesome to have the version number of any app with a few keystrokes.

In my workflow I often have several development versions of the same app and it sometimes becomes tricky to choose the version to launch by looking at Alfred search results.

I'd like to expand a workflow snippet, but only if certain apps are focused (just like the "Hotkey is only active if the following apps have focus" option for hotkeys). My use case is that I have a note editor for which every time I begin to type a link (which is in the form of `[[link here]]`), my workflow will pop up and offer suggestions to complete the link. I can't redefine the link syntax, so I'm stuck with "[[" as the snippet trigger, but as my autocomplete workflow is only for this app, I only want the workflow to trigger when my note-taking app is active.
 
(It's true that I could use a hotkey instead of a snippet trigger, but then this would no longer be an auto-complete workflow. Moreover, different link types can't be handled separately with only a single hotkey, and the number of hotkeys will multiply quickly. Separate snippets for each link type would handle this easily.)
