Welcome @pinkpunk, Make sure to tell Alfred to not close the window between objects. See also the Controlling Window Behaviour section of the documentation.

You’re using the old version. Download Alfred 5 from the website.

I’m unable to reproduce. Could you share the workflow in question, as well as the method in which you’re calling it (not only the code, but also the way in which you’re invoking it, e.g. which app you’re using)? Would also be useful to know the exact version of Alfred and macOS that you’re on.

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.

You can already copy the Markdown with ⌃↩. 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.

There is a workflow specifically for screenshots. It’s not just about browsing, it’s about previewing directly inside Alfred. 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. 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. 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.

That request has been made more than once, so I’ll consider it. But no promises yet or ETA. @LaterTater There’s nothing wrong with that behaviour, it’s working exactly as expected. To copy to the clipboard you have to ⌘↩, as explained in the instructions.

I think you’ll know better if you try the workflow whether it fits your usage. The instructions explain everything in detail. If you ever want Recently Added back, you can still get it.

Welcome @frequser, You have to start typing to see files. Type * to see them all.

You don’t need to, specific automation permissions are requested by macOS as they are needed.

This workflow has been using blueutil since it was created in 2017 (7 years ago). blueutil does not have an option to show battery status, but if they add it I can add it to the workflow too. The alternative is rewriting the whole workflow from scratch. Which I’m not against and have considered it before but zero promises.

That is not an official page. It is of a third-party library for Python workflows which is no longer under development (others have replaced it).

@_oho Don’t edit the plist directly, that’s what the Workflow Environment Variables section is for. Your changes will be overridden on updates. The next version will have an option to override the model as well, you can download a preview of that. I’ve moved your post to the correct thread for the discussion.

You need to add {var:} to variables.

Then I need the files you’re trying to merge, to see why they’re producing an error.

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).

Update the Automation Tasks to 2024.4 and try again. This should be resolved.

2024.4 Merge to PDF: More robust method of adding image.

I’m looking into it. In the meantime you should be able to use the Most Recently Added Path Automation Task to get the file path.

Unlikely. Unless you have some Java app which modifies network connections. Possibly related to the macOS 14.4 macOS 14.4 Java bug.

Try version 2024.1, just released, which forces /usr/bin/xattr.

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?

The output shows your connection as stalled multiple times. Where are you located? Are you using a VPN or have otherwise modified your network connection? Try this version. If it still doesn’t work, please provide the short video as requested above, so I can see the cadence of the issue.

I need to see the contents. What’s inside the file. You can open it with Text Edit and copy what’s inside.

You don’t need code at all, you can connect the Snippet Trigger to a Conditional Utility and have that split into different Copy to Clipboard Output. To know the bundle identifier for an app, you can first use the Identify Front App Automation Task. See the Getting Started Guide for an interactive tutorial on making a workflow.
