My path must have had a hidden issue, because I pasted again from working browser path, and what do you know it worked! I will test your suggestions about the List Filter. Still seems like a lot of work for a simple task. Thanks again for sticking with me through to the fix. I'll be sure to document all of your suggestions should I need them again.

This works! When navigating to the PNG image.. It correctly pastes the logo in the active application where the clipboard was empty to start. My biggest issue in workflows is having to navigate using Alfred through my (extensive) filesystem. I'd like to have a few images, filefolders, snippets ready to go with a couple keystrokes.

I did try your suggested script/workflow first. Can you please explain how you meant to test...?

Here is workflow I just now tested for File Action.. Not sure really, how to configure. Results are 'empty'. Same as before. Here is what I tried (just now): https://www.dropbox.com/s/g9zegfqdajptlvz/diannespastedimage.alfredworkflow?dl=0 Log: [17:03:08.364] Paste Image[Snippet] Processing complete [17:03:08.391] Paste Image[Snippet] Passing output '' to Copy to Clipboard [17:03:08.392] Paste Image[Copy to Clipboard] Processing complete [17:03:08.393] Paste Image[Copy to Clipboard] Passing output '' to Dispatch Key Combo Security and Privacy Settings in System Preferences are set for Alfred 4.app in: 1. Accessibility 2. Full Disk Access (Showing in Files and Folders as well) 3. Automation for a) System Events and b) Music.

It properly pastes the logo.. Yea! But not in Alfred, I'm afraid.

Thank you @deanishe for sticking with me. I've now added the path to the configuration sheet as you suggest. Resulting output is still 'empty'. I cannot believe this is so difficult! ---- [15:22:36.453] Paste Image[Hotkey] Processing complete [15:22:36.478] Paste Image[Hotkey] Passing output '' to Arg and Vars [15:22:36.479] Paste Image[Arg and Vars] Processing complete [15:22:36.480] Paste Image[Arg and Vars] Passing output '/Users/dianne/Pictures/AlfredWorkflowFiles/TrendIncLogoType.png' to Run Script [15:22:36.682] Paste Image[Run Script] Processing complete [15:22:36.703] Paste Image[Run Script] Passing output '' to Dispatch Key Combo

Not sure I understand.. I configured the following as per this screenshot, but still same results.

Ok. If I customize I will upload.. This time I added a trigger key combo to your working implementation above. Otherwise left it as is.

Tested the above: Result nothing pasted.. clipboard passes 'unknown / items' when viewed at the finder..

Thanks for your suggestion. I did just that, and tested all the workflows that I could find on forums, stackoverflow, etc. Besides ending up with nothing on the clipboard or Permission Denied results.. (even though all my permissions are set AND I made sure the path is executable in the Mac OS), nothing is working to do this somewhat 'elementary task'? What about storing the image in Alfred.. or on clipbard que via static string? Can't believe this is not native. Sorry.. Alfred is great in every other way, but this.. mm.. frustrating, when I'd like to have a few logo versions at the ready.

Two days with Alfred and although I love most of the features, I cannot believe I cannot store an image (either locally in Alfred or in local file system) for later retrieval and pasting in various documents. After testing many methods including snippets and workflow scripts, it's not working. All of my permissions are 'good'. Using Catalina on last version of Alfred v4. Tell me I am missing something!
