Add an Arg and Vars Utility with one file path per line in the argument. Connect it to a Split Arg Utility splitting on newlines to arguments (not variables). Connect that to the Automation Task.

Thanks for the reply folks.  

Stephen_C  I used your suggestion after I figured out that I had to have the YouTube URL on my computer, i.e. link on desktop.  I could not just open Safari then YouTube and copy or drag the link over to Alfred. In the end I figured it out, thanks a lot.
 
Vitor  I will have to investigate your tip and read up on Automation Task. Thanks also for taking time to reply to my request.
 
This is a great forum to solicit assistance.

To open a new window specifically, there’s an Automation Task for that.

Indeed there is. Right click the Script Filters and in the context menu, near the top, you can disable “Treat Input as Universal Action”.

i see. clearly the Workflow and/or 1Password are not the culprit yeah. it's my own setup that's doing something weird. as stated in my response to Vero, it may be possible that it's 1Password not connecting to their own services when i'm on a VPN. 
 
 
true, thanks. i would tend to avoid old software that are not maintained anymore tho. the path 1Password has chosen is the path they have chosen. that's fine. honestly if it was still making my day to day life better i wouldn't mind. the issue i'm currently having is not only related to the integration with Alfred, but to 1P itself that, for me, is making worse and worse UX decisions (requires more clicks to login etc.). anyways, thanks for taking the time. glad the Workflow and the integration usually do work well for thousands of users!

The challenge here is that this workflow has thousands of users but no other reports of this issue. Because you’re a power user (a programmer, even), it both means you know what you’re doing and we can discard the simpler stuff, but it also increases the possibility that something seemingly totally unrelated and external is causing the issue.

It is very much worth noting that 1Password 7 continues to work as well as it ever did, even on Apple Silicon (does not require Rosetta), and as such the deprecated 1Password 7 bookmarks feature in Alfred’s preferences should too.

For reference, it doesn’t have to be JavaScript. While JSON did start from JavaScript, every major language nowadays handles it. At the end of the day it’s just text with a specific structure, you can even write it by hand.
 
 
In the dte Script Filter, delete the last line and add instead:
 
cat <<EOF { "items": [{ "title": "$(get_day_of_week "$input")" }] } EOF  
For more information, see Script Filter JSON Format or the Getting Started example workflows (press + on the bottom left, in the workflow list).

The fuzzier the search, the bigger the performance implication. Have you considered a workflow with a Universal Action (keyword “mail”) connected to an Action in Alfred set to Jump to Mail to…?

Yes. You shouldn’t need those anymore. Reminder, as @Vero pointed out above, to not let an uninstaller clean Alfred’s files as they will likely delete what’s needed for Alfred 5 too.
 
Glad you’re sorted, have a nice weekend!

HA! Well now I'm embarrassed. Sure enough, it was a workflow I made that used the "Launch Apps/Files" and I’d put the path to the Alfred preferences in Alfred 4.
 
Apologies all around. Thank you @Vero and @vitor!
 
As a PS..should I remove Alfred 3 and 4 just in principle?

Go to the Gallery and type "learning” into the search box. Download a few of the resulting workflows and look through them. You can learn quite a lot from the way in which those workflows are constructed.

It seems like you're right! I have probably been too fast in hitting Cmd+V in my password prompt. The last two times now I've waited a few seconds and it has been ok. Thanks!

Thank you:) I understand that this isn't the norm. I'm working on a workflow that talks to Kubernetes clusters and it's very useful to be able to quickly switch between clusters (context in k8s lang). I could possibly set this up without a configuration variable, but I feel this is the cleanest way of doing it, as it makes sure the "default" context is set when the workflow is initially installed.

Leaving this here for the others that might also need this:
on run argv set theQuery to item 1 of argv set bundleID to (system attribute "alfred_workflow_bundleid") tell application id "com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred" set configuration "kube_context" to value theQuery in workflow bundleID with exportable end tell return theQuery end run Here "kube_context" is the configuration variable.

I was just about to suggest that: thanks! (And many thanks for chiming in.)

Welcome to the forum.
 
Use the Split Arg utility and then process the arguments in your shell script (for that, see the Alfred help page on Reading Environment Variables).
 
Stephen

No problem. I realize this notification dismiss action has been notoriously difficult to solve in the past. Thanks for making this available.

Usage

Clear visible macOS notification banners via the notclear keyword.



Configure the Hotkey for faster triggering.

Hmm, that’s right. I’ve forgotten that I could trigger Universal Action from a Finder window. Thanks for the workflow. It works for what it is made for and I’m thankful. Saves lots of time especially with the files being every where. 

That’s due to changes Apple has been making for a few OSs which are making preferences harder to use from the outside. That’s why you get that generic icon too.
 
On the Alfred Gallery there is System Settings and Open macOS Settings Panes. Both solve the issue in different ways. They are in English, but you can edit them to the Spanish names.

Well done! Now see if you can cater for others whose path to the Desktop (and user name) is not the same as yours. By way of a hint, take a look at the workflow configuration in, for example, my Save 'ur note workflow. The workflow configuration can be a great help for users. For example, you could mention in it the need to download and install imageprep and provide a link to the download. Take a look at this Alfred help page about workflow configuration.
 
(I should say that I've not run the workflow—although I downloaded and looked at it—because I have neither tiffs nor imageprep. However, I'm sure you've checked that it works!)

You sir are a life saver! Here's the working 1.0 version of the workflow if it helps anyone!
thanks again, couldn't have done it without you.
Here's the final product.

Welcome @Flavinsh,
 
Update to 2024.1, just released, which fixes that.

Usage

Convert dimensions via the conv keyword. Type a number to see all available units with their full name and symbol.



Type a unit to filter.



Pressing ↩ on a partial match triggers the autocomplete. See all possible conversion targets when matching a unit exactly.



Type further to filter for target units. Connector words (“to”, “as”, “in”) are optional to help with readability. Rounding precision and notation can be set in the Workflow’s Configuration.


↩: Copy result to clipboard. ⌘↩: Paste result to frontmost app. Configure the Hotkey or use the Universal Action as shortcuts to convert results from Alfred’s Calculator, Clipboard History, or selected text.
