OH! had no idea. for some reason i've never landed on that help page. hmm. that's fantastic. thanks Vitor. still a lot to learn!

The delay is by design:
 
 
But you can tell Alfred to ignore that behaviour and trigger faster:
 
 
See the image in the linked documentation, which makes where to find the setting clearer.

Please work carefully through all of the suggestions on this Alfred help page: Troubleshooting File Indexing Issues. If you still have problems after doing that please follow the suggestion under "Still having issues?” and post the results here.
 
(If your Alfred oreferences are stored in Dropbox do ensure they are made available off-line: Syncing Your Alfred Settings Between Macs.)

Great idea!
Good for novice users like me

I've just published our first two videos about Alfred on YouTube
 
You can find our videos at https://www.youtube.com/@alfredapptv
 
Making the time to create more videos about Alfred is exciting, and we'd love your help getting the word out. Share, give it a like, all that good stuff! Thanks for being the best community on the internet!
 
You can see the ChatGPT / DALL-E workflow in action here:
 
 
 
And another on using and setting your fallback searches:
 

@vitor
 
I think this is an important need so that export speed can be improved.
 
Thanks.

Hello, it would be really nice if the Text View node allowed a custom CSS file to be loaded - so we can style different Text View outputs in different ways.
Thanks for considering this feature – Nathan

Would it be possible to preview the dynamic content of a snippet?
 

I'm jumping on this Feature Suggestion to add my vote. I switched from TextExpander to aText (which seems to be abandoned). I'd love to replace my snippets functionality with Alfred. Please consider supporting the snippets expanding to match the existing case I've typed (explained above).  

Welcome @Soprano,
 
You can use Alfred to trigger an AppleScript to send keypresses, but will those be sent to the RDP session? It might depend on your session settings or it might not be doable at all. Try this Workflow. Edit the object in the middle to write the text you want to send and try it out.
 

Sorry for resurrecting this ancient thread, but I am running into an issue with Alfred snippets simply showing "v" in a Citrix Viewer remote desktop. I have checked the keyboard settings in Citrix and they are correct (using command for control key) and command+v operates properly to paste text in Notepad. However, when I type a snippet, e.g. "gm" for 'Good morning' I get the snippet sound and my "gm" is replaced by 'v'. 
 
I do not see where to set the behavior to type instead of paste. I have my appearance set to compatibility mode. Not sure what else to do. Any thoughts?

In Alfred Preferences → Features → Snippets, you can add a Hotkey for the Viewer which allows you to search. Alternatively: Alfred Preferences → Features → Clipboard History → Snippets.

Usage

Search for executables in PATH via the whereis keyword.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How do I set up an alternative AI model?

The workflow offers the ability to change the API end points and override model names in the Workflow Environment Variables. This requires advanced configuration and is not something we can provide support for, but our community are doing it with great success and can help you on a different thread.

How do I access the service behind a proxy?

Add a new https_proxy key in Workflow Environment Variables. Or configure the proxy for all workflows under Alfred Preferences → Advanced → Network.

Why can’t I use the workflow with a ChatGPT Plus subscription?

The ChatGPT Plus subscription does not include access to the ChatGPT API and are billed separately.

Is there a video which shows how to use the workflow?

Yes, on YouTube.

How do I report an issue?

Accurate and thorough information is crucial for a proper diagnosis. When reporting issues, please include your exact installed versions of:
The Workflow. Alfred. macOS. In addition to:
The debugger output. Perform the failing action, click “Copy” on the top right and paste it here. Details on what you did, what happened, and what you expected to happen. A short video of the steps with the debugger open may help to find the problem faster.  
Why do I keep getting [Connection Stalled]?
 
This happens when the workflow takes too long to receive a reply from the API. It indicates a problem either with your connection or OpenAI’s service.

Open a terminal and run the following (replace the YOUR_API_KEY text within the quotes with your API key):
 
openai_key="YOUR_API_KEY" time /usr/bin/curl "https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions" --header "Authorization: Bearer ${openai_key}" --header "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{ "model": "gpt-3.5-turbo", "messages": [{ "role": "user", "content": "What is red?" }], "stream": true }'
It should provide a clue as to what is happening. Include the result in your report.

It's not possible to cross-grade from the Single User license to the Mega Supporter within the same version. If you opt for the Single User license, when the next version of Alfred is announced, you would become eligible for an upgrade to the Mega Supporter at a discount.

Even tough I've been using Alfred for years, this is the first Alfred Workflow I share and publish on this forum : )
Enjoy!
 
https://github.com/jrgd/Add-Note-to-Notion-
 
- There is only one argument passed to the script which will be turned into a title for a new page (inside a db in Notion) and a bunch of tags: there is some parsing for the title and any hashtag will be converted into tags and removed from the entry's title.
- Tags are alphanumeric only; no space nor _ nor |
- The workflow uses a zsh script to send request to the Notion API. You will need to get it working first and it might be tricky if you have no or little experience with Bourne.
- Along with the shell script, there is an env file to insert the required vars.
 


 

@Zzyzx Oh The Alfred Remote counterpart app gets its features from Alfred on Mac; Every time new workflow objects are added to Alfred on your Mac, these can be triggered via the Remote app. As such, it doesn't need frequent updates in the App Store in order to take advantage of these features.

If you update to b2255, you'll now get the correct font size when updating the text view via script

I'm not sure I understand how this is unfeasible for Alfred to implement... In a probable majority of cases, you can just query {domain}/favicon.(ico|png|jpg) and get a 200 response with the icon... If it doesn't look good, so be it — at least the app tried for me rather than just forcing me to do all the manual work of finding, saving, and dragging the icon around to the little square target on the Web Search window.
 
A slightly more complex implementation — but still dead simple — is to just parse the HTML of the page for the <link rel="shortcut icon" /> which definitively points to the icon if there is one.

This Workflow didn't work for me but then I took a closer look at the Workflow and it appears that it requires Mac OS12+

@Mr Pennyworth knowledge sorting will be in the next build  

Yes. Answer.

When configuring a Run Script or Script Filter, Alfred provides a Language dropdown listing the runtimes which have historically been included with macOS. But what if you want to run a script from another language which you have installed on your system? Be it Node.js, Lua, or something else, it’s dead-simple to call them. Either:
Save your script with a proper shebang (examples: #!/usr/bin/env node; #!/usr/bin/env lua) and use External Script as the Language, pointing to your script. Use /bin/zsh (or /bin/bash) as the Language and tell the runtime to call your script (examples: node MY_SCRIPT.js; lua MY_SCRIPT.lua). The first executes (marginally) faster but the second allows you to send preset arguments to your script. They work as they are assuming the languages were installed with Homebrew, as Alfred includes its directories in its PATH.

Use a shebang in your script and make it executable. That box is essentially the same as the External Script option in Run Scripts and Script Filters.

Welcome to the forum.
 
Have you seen Alfred 5.5's TextView and, by way of example, the manner in which it's used in the ChatGPT/DALL-E workflow?
