Thank you for the patience here. I have already started looking at it but decided to tackle your most recent one first (review is in there). The sensitive nature of this one and the amount of node modules make it require a careful approach.
 
Either way, rest assured feedback is coming soon to this one!

Welcome @Demian, and thank you for the submission.
 
In its current state, there are a number of factors which make the workflow unsuitable for inclusion in the Gallery. Namely:
There is no icon. The name is in lowercase (this is minor, but in general a name should be like a title). You’re asking people to open the workflow, navigate to a specific code file, open it for editing, and change their credentials. This in itself is problematic in two ways: Most users won’t be comfortable with that process or understand how to go about it. If user input is needed, it should be proper Configuration. You’re asking for a username and password, meaning the password will be in plaintext. That is a security risk because other apps on the user’s machine would be able to read that information. Opening the Sticky Notes and pasting there is quite atypical and less than ideal because you’re relying on GUI automation (the keypresses) to do the heavy lifting. There are more appropriate methods, such as Large Type. Note I haven’t explored the workflow’s functionality in full. You’re shipping a lot of libraries and those could be problematic too, but the above are the immediate blockers. If you have specific questions with the above, ask away.

snippet can be a workflow, so you can. just like this.
 
 
 


 
 
 

Thank you for the fast update. This will be live soon at https://alfred.app/workflows/alanhe/about-mac/.
 
Heads up for your other workflows that the main icon needs to be 256x256 px or larger.
 

Right click the workflow in Alfred Preferences → Workflows, then “Open in Finder”. It will be at the root of that directory.

You are right.
 
I updated the Shortcut like this and now it works when invoked via a Quick Action in Finder:
 

 
It does not still work via the Alfred workflow though.

I use the Keka app too and am satisfied with it. So for all people who have a similar problem and need a fast and easy solution I recommend the app.

@Alan He Thanks for the additional details. 
 
First, could you please open your Dropbox preferences and ensure the folder you're using for Alfred's preferences is set to always be available locally? If it's possible for Dropbox to make the preferences online-only, Alfred will lose access to them, resulting in unexpected behaviour.
 
Once you've done this and Dropbox shows that the files are stored locally, try changing your note again and seeing if the issue is resolved.
 
If it isn't, you can temporarily change your sync location (e.g. create a new "Alfred" folder in your user directory) so that the sync service is taken out of the equation for now. Are you now able to save changes?
 
If you are now able to save changes, I would suggest creating a new folder in Dropbox, set it to be always available offline first, then set this as your sync folder. 
 
Let me know how you get on
 

Cmd + X is an intrinsic standard hotkey in macOS, so overriding this is likely to eventually cause weird behaviour on your Mac, so use at your own risk. 

Alright. I'm going to work on it a bit, I have some ideas on how to make it more modular and user-friendly. Once it's ready I'll post it up.

Note Taker exists exactly for the use case of storing and managing bits of text.
 
To quickly add a snippet, use the Save as Snippet Universal Action.

To search inside files—which Note Taker already does—use the in keyword or make a Workflow with a File Filter.

It would be great if the right pane of the clipboard history (the preview side) could allow to scroll to read all the contained text when it is longer than the available space. Sometimes we could have multiple clipboard contents that have some changes further down where we can't see it so we can't really know which one to choose. There's the Large Type (CMD+L) that make it possible sometimes, but other times the text is too long to make it readable using Large Type. So, adding the possibility to scroll the preview would be great! Thanks 

@tsolignani List Filters are great for importing from CSV
 
The file will need to consist of title, subtitle, argument with comma separation, and you'll be able to drag and drop your file in to the List Filter object:

Dragging Safari.app from that location does not work either.
 
Thanks.

Indeed it is doable, and without code—or it will be when the new version of Automation Tasks is out (the task for this is already done, but it will be part of a larger release). In the meantime, a single line of code is necessary.

Here’s a preliminary version.
 

@Alan He Glad to see I’m not alone! 😁

same issue, restart not work. @vitor maybe os bug?
 
I have to use victor's workflow https://transfer.sh/0XtNpW/Safari Hotkey.alfredworkflow
 
version info
- Ventura 13.1
- Alfred v5.0.6
 

You’re running a script. It executes top to bottom, and when it exits it returns an output which is then parsed. But what you’re looking to do it is detect when a key is pressed at any point, while at the same time executing the script in full. Those two notions are incompatible.

But you can, for example, add a “Back” item at the top of the Script Filter that will execute the External Trigger.

Hi!
 
I am unable to drag Safari.app (from /Applications/) from Alfred Preferences → Workflows → Workflow → Hotkeys → Configure Object… → Related Apps
 

 
My setup is as follows:
macOS 13.1 (22C65) Alfred 5.0.6 (2110)  
Thanks for your time,
Noah

Hey,
 
I'm using a very simple Alfred Workflow to list a set of .md files in a directory and I use qlmarkdown and Quick Look to preview these files and het their contant (for context, I'm using these markdown files as cheat sheets to view commonly used commands).
 
2 short questions:
1. Is there a better way to preview markdown files in Alfred then qlmarkdown?
2. Can I trigger the Quick View in Alfred by selecting the search result? I use `shift` now and I attached the trigger `cmd+y` to be dispached but this does not seem to open the selected file in a preview.
 
An example of the workflow using `shift` to trigger the preview

Many thanks for the reply @vitor - and for all your support and help given on these forums. I hope you can have a happy and relaxing Christmas.

I'm using this workflow with pretty much the same function:
 
https://github.com/alanhg/alfred-workflows/tree/master/about-mac
 
 

A lot of people are on Ventura, and that number will only increase. It wouldn’t make sense to add something which does not work on the current macOS release, especially when a more reliable solution can be achieved.
