Alfred does check automatically (not very often right now), but again whenever doing gallery interactions such as installing workflows, or dependency resolution.
 
I'm actually going to balance these automatic checks again in the next build (in the run up to Gallery coming out of early access).

Update will be live in the Gallery later today.

I’ll also need a screenshot which is fully in English, as well as something which allows for testing the workflow. The instructions for the tool itself are in Chinese.

If this is necessary, the workflow can’t go in. Only Homebrew external dependencies are accepted, not node ones.

Fantastic, thanks all for letting me know you're interested! I'll come up with some questions for the first round, but I like @sepulchra's suggestion for the style used on usesthis  
 
Check that the email address in your profile is still correct, and you should hear from me next week!

@Vero Yes exactly ..... and/or showing off workflows that some have created.....  for example I could also also see highlighting some of the cool workflows made by community members in the gallery too. Workflows by @vitor, @zeitlings, @Stephen_C, @BenjaminO, @giovanni .... and @pixelgeek above.

I think it should maybe 5 questions or so that users get asked? questions that get at how we use the built in tools, and what workflows we use in the gallery and why. But something for coders and non-coders. I think that is the strength of alfred! Also, I just want the public to see that you don't need VC money to make something great.  
 
I think the  "uses this" blog is a great example on how it could work but focused on Alfred.

and here I am mentioning alfred back in 2013: https://usesthis.com/interviews/michael.raphael/. Interestingly, the only app I'm no longer using in that post is Evernote.
 
 
 
 

@sepulchra Thanks for the post - This is something we've done in the past, and I would love to do again! Would you imagine sharing workflows you use, habits you've created, features that help you daily, etc? 
 
I also welcome anyone else interested in being involved in future blog posts to say hi 👋 and we'll work on something together. 

This will be live later today at https://alfred.app/workflows/alanhe/qr-reader/.

Thank you for the patience, @cage.chung,
 
I’m working on adding this but I see that it auto-updates. As per the pinned post auto-updating has to be removed to not conflict with the Gallery’s updating. Once that’s done I’ll continue with adding.

Despite having been quite stable from the start, the Gallery is still in Early Access. Which means it’s not done with everything which will be added for the first version (which, even after Early Access, will continue to improve).

The best thing to do is to start with this help page (and perhaps use some translation software to help you). Afterwards, if you have specific questions, you can ask them here on the forum. There are many helpful people here.

No, you don't need the Power Pack for that. Just check Alfred Prefences → File Search to ensure you've not excluded images (under Don't Show). It's probably also worthwhile reading this Alfred help page about file search.
 
If you press the spacebar before typing your search term Alfred will automatically search for files.

Thank you. Continuing the review I’m finding other issues.
You’re calling /usr/local/bin/php, which won’t work for people on Apple Silicon since Homebrew installs to /opt/homebrew/bin there. The correct method is to just call php, as Alfred is aware of the Homebrew paths. The bottom actions have notes to “Don’t forget to hint to Alfred not to close in the connection config” but you haven’t set that up. After every interaction the Universal Actions panel shows up again. That is confusing and won’t be what users expect most of the time. It’s fine to have it as an option (e.g. when doing ⌘↩ on the Universal Action) but as the default it looks like a mistake.
The all white and thin icon is quite hard to see on clear themes. https://font2png.com is a good resource for creating fast icons. I recommend having a non-transparent background with rounded corners.

The icon in your screenshot indicates that the relevant workflow is hosted on the Alfred Gallery. So far as I'm aware the only other icon you'll see there is an upward pointing arrow—which indicates that an update is available on the Gallery (although it can also appear if you have one of your own workflows on the Gallery but have updated the workflow locally and the update has not yet appeared on the Gallery).

Hi @Emyr Welcome to the forum
 
It seems you've already identified CopyPaste Pro is interfering with Alfred. Alfred uses the macOS clipboard for snippets, so if another app is manipulating the clipboard outside of Alfred's control, naturally this will have an effect.
 
You could try slowing down keypresses in Alfred's Snippets preferences under the cog in the top right > Tweaking > "Slow down simulated key events", or there may be an option in CopyPaste Pro that allows you to stop it from interfering with the clipboard.
 
Cheers,
Vero

Welcome @Specyk,
 
Snippets have to be copied so they can be pasted. But they also restore what was there before. Check your settings under Alfred Preferences → Features → Snippets → Auto Expansion Options → Tweaking → Restore After.

But the binary isn’t signed and notarised, so now it won’t run at all on other people’s machines and can’t be in the Gallery (this is explained in the pinned post). That’s why not everyone compiles them in the first place. We’ve discussed these points before.
 
Also, your version is only compiled for Intel so it wouldn’t run on Apple Silicon without Rosetta either.
 

There is no need for external dependencies, btw. See here.
And here is the implementation: QResolve

You essentially save the dependencies to a folder inside the workflow and then load them from there.
 
Perhaps @Alan He or @magobaol can help you with specific best practices for node.

@Andrew
 
is something like this coming to core soon? I know it’s probably more likely you won’t give a time frame. But I really figured I would ask. 
 
I’ve recently switched the primary using Raycast due to its rich UI but it doesn’t come close to being as polished as Alfred. 
 
this is truly something that would put Alfred back on top. 
 
thoughts of what I would use this jira visualization, etc. 
 
would be even more awesome if it accepted inputs 

ok

We’ve discussed this before. Continuous pinging won’t accelerate the review, I will get to it like I will get to them all, and there are other people waiting patiently for their own.
 
New workflows, like any software, often require tweaks and that has been true of all your submissions so far. It’s good to let them marinate a bit so people who are interested can help you find early problems.

I'll take a look at tweaking this wording in the next update for clarity.

Thank you very much! That was the nudge I needed. Changed path in the workflow script - now it works flawlessly!

See the message at the bottom (emphasis mine):
 
 
In other words, you need to do +public.image, instead of public.image.
