Pardon my silly question.

If I understand correctly, when I activate Alfred and type `mdc`, I'm supposed to see a drop-down list of my templates inside the notes folder. From that list, I can select the template to create a note from.

But I see none. All I can do is to type note title, enter, and then get a new note created from the default template.

What version of the workflow are you on?

Sorry that I didn't reply to you sooner. I'm using the latest Todoist workflow, 5.8.3 and Alfred version 4.0.9. I got that notification, but I was still able to add and retrieve tasks as normal.

I've installed Node.js and set the API token and it was registered as successful. However, whenever I run any command, like creating a task or searching for tasks, there was a notification from Alfred “Couldn't update workflow. Can't read property 'length' of null”.

This is fantastic. Thank you so much for your hard work.

I'm still getting around Alfred, but anyone tell me if it is possible to tweak this workflow so that I can search Evernote notes from Alfred browser, without having to open Evernote?

Anyone, huge thanks to @Carlos-Sz for taking your time to craft this powerful workflow.

Ted Wise's Running workflow (http://tedwise.com) works great for that.

I know this thread is a lifetime ago, but I just need to thank you for sharing that workflow. It still works great after all those years. I always have at least 6, sometimes more than 10 apps running, and my hands can longer handle that.

Hi,

 

Glad this is still of use to you, almost 5 years later! Yup, as far as I can see from here that was the intended behavior.

I just made another version which forces the tab to open in an already open Finder window even if Finder is not focused, which I guess is what you wanted? Get it here. Keyword "ioio".

 

Thank you. This works like magic. This is why I never wish to use other people's computers.

So I had some time and made a workflow for what you describe. Probably not the most elegant solution, but I'm not a programmer, just an engineer that likes to tinker. Even more so since Alfred is so tinkerable..

 

Get the workflow here. Default keyword is "opop". Graphic from here. 

 

Enjoy!

Belated thank you to multicolor. This is exactly what I'm looking for. But if I understand it correctly, the Finder window has to be the frontmost app for the AppleScript to work, right? Still, this is better than having 10 windows open 😫.

Sorry to revive a dead topic, but is there a way that when I'm searching for something within Alfred (my shortcut is just CMD+Space to replace Spotlight) that I can hold a modifier key, like how CMD does "reveal in Finder" to have the open with... pop up?

 

My example would be: I have .png files that I normally want to open in Preview, but every-now-and-then open in Adobe Illustrator. 

 

Thanks for the help! This thread was helpful already!!

I don't know if this is what you're looking for, but I set up a workflow like this:

- when I activate Alfred and type the keyword “png”, Alfred will limit my search to only png files.

- follow the keyword “png” with the space key, and then type the name of the png I want to open.

- hit Enter, and the png will be opened with Affinity Photo, because the keyword “png” is connected to the Open File with Affinity Photo as below.

If someone has a quicker workflow, please share.
