Hi all,
Finally able to shift back to a Mac 100% including for work, after a forced stint on Windows, as well as lack of hardware Apple had that I actually wanted to buy...so now back to all in on a 32GB MBP16, and getting things in order again. In my prior professional life, before moving to OS X, I would run Linux on every work laptop handed to me, including what there, was simple - hotkeys for virtually everything, including window mgmt.
Have been on OS X since ~Panther or so, and played around with Quicksilver and Alfred, but never really had time to make either do what I wanted. As i"m now 100% back on Mac for both work and personal, it's time to get to it. I see some other choices still out there and am leaning towards Alfred with Powerpack, but can someone confirm if the following are possible (with power pack is fine)?
I've answered MOST of my questions searching, but the following are still pending...any help appreciated. I don't mind buying software, but do mind buying software that doesn't do what I'm expecting/hoping it to.. 😕
1. Fully browsing bookmarks from within Alfred, as I have nested levels? e.g. make a shortcut to get to a specific top level bookmark folder (e.g. ADS queries), then nav in Alfred results to select the one I want, and hit enter to launch it in the appropriate browser?
2. Create a shortcut for specific queries with param replacement, e.g. type in 'tfs 19234' to have it open Chrome using an ADS query, replacing or appending the 19234 in the right place in the query URL. I believe this one is possible.
3. When searching files - can I limit the date range of modification via keyboard input?
4. When searching files, does it have a preview on the results?
5. Does it allow for a result to be 'open with'ed' a specific app?
6. Finally, can I embed AppleScript within alfred workflows in some fashion for if/when they may not be enough?
