Might be janky, but maybe you can make a Shortcut for that, or some of the steps? E.g. auto-create a new note, then copy it? Or maybe save a file to iCloud Drive and have the Shortcut copy that? Or send the text via AirDrop?

Have you tried replacing it with \n\n? Or try three or four. I had to do that with Markdown Transform for pasting as BBCode. Also try adding two spaces at the end of each line to force a line break. It would be useful to know where the collapsing is happening. I suspect it might the app you’re pasting to on iOS.

Names don’t matter, the workflow uses the Spotlight metadata to identify screenshots. But there is a configuration to not limit the search to the Desktop. It has been clarified above that setting a folder is under consideration. But it’s not likely to happen until I decide what to do regarding Apple’s breakage of the Imgur shortcut.

Did you type a space after open? Also, try just just opening Alfred and pressing the space bar (you’ll see ' appear) and type the name of your file then. See also Troubleshooting File Indexing Issues.

I’m not sure I understand what you mean by the key combination or the key command. When you are at the Universal Actions panel you just press ↩. Here: You only press ⌥↓ or ⌥↑ on regular results. Here: If that’s what you’re doing, would you mind recording a short video? Sometimes these things end up being a miscommunication that is resolved when actually seeing the behaviour.

Since (mandatorily) changing to the File Provider API, popular third party services all evict files by default. Even so, some do seem more reliable than others and Dropbox’s appears to have been the steepest decline. But this is mostly anecdotal from personal observation, so take it with a grain of salt.

If you could share the video in some way (e.g. uploading to a file locker) it could be useful. Are you using a syncing service? If so, are your preferences always offline? I’m not finding it now, but I recall someone with the same issue and it boiled down to a problem with the syncing, in which whatever service (I don’t recall which) was seemingly reverting the relevant file. After the above, the next step would be resetting syncing to the default location and see if you can reproduce.

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.

I’ll preface this by saying I’m not sure I understand the problem. You can add files to the buffer by selecting them in the Finder then triggering the Universal Action shortcut and picking Add File to Buffer. Or by finding any file in an Alfred search and pressing ⌥↑ or ⌥↓. Have you seen the File Buffer documentation? You don’t need to find the files via Navigation, File Search works too, as do File Filters and other workflow objects.

You have to make sure your preferences are available offline. The File Provider methods have a way of removing them from the system.

Welcome @ryoppippi, One simple solution is to have a workflow that goes through your ~/Downloads directory and trashes all the workflows files. I’ve made a quick one for you. Call it with the cleanworkflows keyword. Feel free to inspect and modify it at will, you’ll see it’s done entirely without code. Make sure you have the Automation Tasks installed.

I’ve now added an Automation Task to output text with line counts.

One approach you can take is to make it so pressing ↩ appends the line to a file (tell the connection to not close on actioning) and then on ⌘↩ read the File Contents (there’s an Automation Task for that), split it on newlines, then Action in Alfred and Send to Trash (another Automation Task) the file.

@gatto It is indeed possible. See the second post for instructions on how to accomplish that.
