  1. Here’s a related neat trick. One problem is that sometimes a menu item changes its name depending on something else in the app. For example: in Messages you can see Edit → Tapback Last Message… by default, but if you select a message it changes to Edit → Tapback Message… You can use that difference to your advantage in the workflow to e.g. only make something happen when the right option is available, but sometimes you want activate the menu item regardless of this detail. In this case what you can do is add both as separate Automation Tasks. Because an Automation Task error stops the flow of execution, this means only the active option will get through. You can see this exact example in action in the Tapback Message workflow.

    so I might take a stab at also saving the Markdown somewhere.

     

    You can already copy the Markdown with ⌃↩.

    Are there any plans to add a configuration for saving chat history

     

    I have ideas for chat history, but it’s unlikely to work exactly as per your description as I want to offer more flexibility than locking a conversation in time.

    I use Thumbnail navigation for recent screenshots

     

    There is a workflow specifically for screenshots.

    I think browsing visually

     

    It’s not just about browsing, it’s about previewing directly inside Alfred.

    I am a tad worried about future updated to Alfred though

     

    You shouldn’t be, it’s highly unlikely that any update to Alfred will ever break Recently Added. An update to macOS might, but I have zero control over that.

    Any way to get an for more than one fast entries

     

    That has always been possible, and is explained in the configuration itself how you can list the contents of multiple folders. It’s exactly the same method as Recently Added, separating by commas.

    and a choice for a thumbnail vs list presentation of the results

     

    Like I said, if you prefer Recently Added you’re more than welcome to keep using it. But the reason I deprecated that workflow is that for a good while I had been thinking of improving it with previews, and then with the new views I realised that the next version of Recently Added would basically be a repeat of Thumbnail Navigation, so it made more sense to add the fast navigation feature to this one. In other words, the deprecation is the best scenario if you want to keep the list view.

    I have to first copy the url and then open Alfred, enter the url and then open up the universal actions

     

    You only have to select the URL in the tab (⌘L) then press the Universal Actions shortcut.


    That said, I have been thinking for a while that I’d may like to bring back the option to add the frontmost browser tab. I’m playing with it locally and may add the option in the next version (the keyword is likely to be wlb).

    I get a Java runtime error, and I’ve been ignoring that ever, since my MacBook Pro migration, does it matter?

     

    Unlikely. Unless you have some Java app which modifies network connections.

    Let me know if it matters and also how I can resolve the Java Runtime Error.

     

    Possibly related to the macOS 14.4 macOS 14.4 Java bug.

    the slow part is the xattr call which is taking 0.023 seconds per app on my machine

     

    That does seem slow. On an M1 with the time command I see 0.004 seconds but if I test with something more granular I can see the true number is closer to microseconds, even for apps with quarantining.


    If you do which xattr in a Terminal, do you get /usr/bin/xattr or something else?
