The issues are probably related and have the same solution. Omitting relevant information makes it harder to figure out the cause.

But did you use the Migration Assistant?

I of course re-indexed several times

How long have you waited between reindexes? Those should take a good while, so doing it multiple times before it’s done might just be delaying it.

pwgen or urandom

None of those are true random, and that feature has been consistent with this Workflow from the start.

Welcome @donkdonk,

I need the information requested on the top post.

Hello @jswifty, I’ve moved your post to the correct thread. For future reports, please run !1pdiagnostic and provide the result.

In this case, the solution is that you need to give Alfred Full Disk Access.

the best practice to organise files

There is none. Which is why there are so many ways and apps to do it. The best way to organise files is the best way which works for you. Some people have files scattered all around but tag them well, while others never tag but use meticulous folder hierarchies. It also greatly depends on the types of files you regularly deal with—searching for PDFs can be easier than searching for images because we can search by the contents of the former.

I organise my files hierarchically because that’s how computers work. It’s the most robust way to ensure your organisation won’t be messed up when you need to move them around. That matters to me because when I upgrade macOS, I mostly do fresh installs. On the same vein, I wouldn’t trust any app to dictate my organisation, especially not a VC-backed company which can be sold or be discontinued at the most inconvenient of times.

Alfred—by contrast—works with the system, it doesn’t impose a methodology. I organise my files in folders with a sensical hierarchy. When I need something, I search for it in Alfred by the file’s name or some directory where it should be in and drill down until I find it. The files which aren’t organised or that I’m working on tend to be on the Desktop or the Downloads folder, so I built RecentlyAdded to quickly reach those. Finally, I have a couple of File Filters for common targeted searches.

Is there a way to make Alfred open the application and search YouTube within the App instead of on the browser?

That depends entirely on the app itself. As far as I’m aware there is no official YouTube app on macOS, so what app are you using?

slow sites like ANU QRNG

It’s faster than the previous version of the script when including special characters, so that doesn’t really seem like a concern. It’s not like it’s too slow for a user-generated action. But if you have better suggestions, I’m open to them. The requirements are that it uses true randomness and that the result is returned as a string or JSON. For the previously used solutions I had to parse the HTML response, which worked fine but has the potential to break on its own due to website changes (though granted, those sources are unlikely to). One of the goals of the update was more robust future-proofing, hence removing the Ruby dependency (before its inevitable removal from macOS) and changing the source to something with a cleaner output.

And why remove password that contain special characters?

Given the new source, I’m still deciding on the approach for that. I may append every ASCII punctuation symbol to the returned string a random number of times for each, then make them part of the final shuffle.

Welcome @charms,

You’ll also need to install the fixed version of this Workflow from the table.

Update.

• Rewritten in JXA.
• Added default_length Workflow Environment Variable for custom default password size.
• Removed option for password with special characters.
• Now uses ANU QRNG and shuffles on top of that.
  

To update, download the latest version (same URL) or wait a few days and it’ll prompt you to on next usage, since it uses OneUpdater.

Welcome @Oli,

Set the google_drive_path Workflow Environment Variable to whichever path contains your drives. The top post details it and the second one expands on it. 

Update.

• Add https:// to schemless URLs.
• Update internal CLI.
• Switch Match Mode to Word Matching in 1p Script Filter.
  

Welcome @Henri,

Please see the second post on this thread. It teaches you how to properly set the correct Google Drive path and how to provide the necessary information for debugging (I need the output of !gddiagnostic).

You probably haven’t given your Terminal Full Disk Access, under System Preferences → Security & Privacy → Privacy → Full Disk Access. Alfred will need it too, to access the directory.

You have the code. Whatever you have in your Terminal Command object, use in a Run Script instead.

The terminal command is running the actual command

Do it in a Run Script instead, as suggested above. You don’t need to launch iTerm, either. Also, avoid Run NSAppleScript and prefer instead another Run Script with Language set to /usr/bin/osascript (AppleScript).

where I run the terminal command `make bootstrap`.

And how are you running it in your Workflow? If you call it in a Run Script Action, it should halt execution until that command returns (exits). Unless your command returns immediately? What happens when you run it in a terminal, are you back at the command prompt before that dialog disappears? If so, that’s what you need to fix: you need to make it so however you’re invoking the dialog, does not exit before it is gone.

open with the -W flag maybe of help (check man open).

Welcome @jswifty,

How are you showing your pop-up window? Do you already have it, or are you also asking about how to accomplish that part?

Is it likely that this is something that could be fixed?

If you are on Intel, "${HOME}/.pyenv/versions/2.7.18/bin/python2.7" -m pip install PyObjC on a Terminal may suffice. No one has ever given me confirmation either way on that solution.

1 hour ago, damagekko said:

Not fixable, I guess the author would need to rewrite the whole workflow.

That is incorrect. As noted by @justice, everything but the pasting works. The crux of the issue is a single file, lib/pasteboard.py, which tries to use the Python Objective-C bridge to store multiple data formats to the clipboard at once. There are a few ways to go about fixing it, from rewriting that file (and the code which calls it, which is short), to only caring about plain text, to getting PyObjC to install on Apple Silicon.

Try this:

1. Delete the directory at ~/.pyenv (~ is your home directory).
2. Make sure everything in Homebrew is up-to-date, by running brew upgrade.
3. Reboot.
4. Retry the instructions.
   

If that still fails, what’s the output of xcode-select --print-path?

@mgguinne Most straightforward solution is to install Homebrew and run brew install php.

Just now, zdlo said:

Apologies, and thanks for the fix.

No worries, take it as a note for future requests. Thank you for understanding.

Just now, zdlo said:

Could you help me apply the changes on the version I'm using

It’s what I mentioned on GitHub. Change the PATH Workflow Environment Variable to /opt/homebrew/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin.

@zdlo Please make requests either here or on GitHub, not both places. Already answered there, and the author of the Workflow has accepted the fix.

In the past i found the ideal workflow, but doesn't work anymore with the last version of macOs.

If you share what it is, it may be possible to identify the problem.

@jgacitua Great, thank you for testing! Just made the release official.

search directly in the "recent" folder of the finder.

That is not a folder but a special view, you can’t search it directly.

There are other Workflows which aim to do what you seek. However, the results won’t be exactly what you see in the Finder’s Recents. I’ve looked into it in the past, and while you can massage mdfind (which uses the Spotlight metadata) to give you a semblance of the same results, it also shows a ton of junk you won’t be interested in (and thus have to be removed) and it leads to a conflict between showing too many results (which is slower) or too few. That’s why I never added the option to this Workflow; I always found it lacking in comparison.

But certainly you may disagree and find a Workflow which fits you well. Searching for “recent” on this Forum or GitHub should produce more results (here’s another).

Then try:

• rm /usr/local/bin/python
• ln -s "${HOME}/.pyenv/versions/2.7.18/bin/python2.7" '/usr/local/bin/python'
  

And it should start working. If it doesn’t, please post the output of both those commands, plus the (new) outputs of:

• /usr/local/bin/python --version
• ls -l /usr/local/bin/python
