@vitor oh well, you're right. Haven't recognized that since it was always working. Works now. Thanks

@vitor I don't agree that this issue is fixed.

I'm using version 5.0.2 (just checked) and my custom web searches don't work anymore (since upgrade to version 5).

Looks like double url-encoding to me (%C3%BC => %25C3%25BC)

It worked perfecly in v4.

I don't think this is possible with the standard bookmark feature of Alfred.

I have an AppleScript in my workflows that does exactly this: open a set of URLs in a browser (Chrome in this case) and check whether it's already open. Works of course with only one URL.

If you can create a workflow triggered by a keyword that actually searches for bookmarks and passes the selected one to the AppleScript action, then it may work.

Here's the script (you can probably reduce it if you don't need the option to open several URLs in Tabs):

on alfred_script(q)
	set old_delimiters to AppleScript's text item delimiters
	set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ","
	set the_urls to every text item of q
	set AppleScript's text item delimiters to old_delimiters
	set first_url to first item of the_urls
	
	set the_window to find_url_in_windows(first_url)
	repeat with the_url in the_urls
		find_or_open_url_in_current_window(the_window, the_url, true)
	end repeat
	set the_window to find_url_in_windows(first_url) -- reactivate
end alfred_script

on find_url_in_windows(the_url)
	set window_index to 1
	set found to false
	tell application "Google Chrome"
		repeat with the_window in windows
			set found to my find_or_open_url_in_current_window(the_window, the_url, false)
			if found then
				return the_window
			end if
			set window_index to window_index + 1
		end repeat
		set the_window to front window
		open location the_url
		return the_window
	end tell
end find_url_in_windows

on find_or_open_url_in_current_window(the_window, the_url, open_if_not_found)
	tell application "Google Chrome"
		set tab_index to 1
		repeat with the_tab in tabs of the_window
			if (URL of the_tab) starts with the_url then
				activate
				tell the_window
					set active tab index to tab_index
					set index to 1
				end tell
				tell application "System Events" to tell process "Google Chrome"
					perform action "AXRaise" of window 1
				end tell
				return true
			end if
			set tab_index to tab_index + 1
		end repeat
		if open_if_not_found then
			open location the_url
			return true
		end if
		return false
	end tell
end find_or_open_url_in_current_window

Thanks, @vitor

I wasn't aware of the vertical order. With that in mind I solved my issue. Since I'm reusing some of the complex script actions, they have been somewhere on the board.

I have a workflow that starts up several apps / windows and calls a run script action after each to place it.

In one of my current workflows I'm opening 2 separate Safari windows and want to place them side by side.

The Hotkey triggers several Arg and Vars actions (setting the position for the application - 2 of them are for the Safari windows), which call a Run NSAppleScript to open a URL in Safari (or opening the corresponding window if it is already open), followed by a Run Script to place the window (via hammerspoon).

It seems that the Arg and Vars and/or NSAppleScript actions run somehow in parallel because when the placement action of the first Safari window wants to place the window, it can only look for the frontmost "Safari" window which turns out to be secondly opened window already most of the times.

Is there any way to tell the workflow to please finish one path before continuing with the next to avoid mismatch?

I created a bunch of workflows helping me with my daily routine.

For that I use custom scripts, e.g. to place applications in a certain layout.

As an example I have one "Run script" action which calls hammerspoon and places windows according to arguments given via environment variables I set with "Args and Vars" utility. By that I can reuse my script and "just" have to configure it for each application window I start in my workflow.

It would be nice create a real action out of this with a custom dialog so I don't have to mess arround with entering the names and values in variables (which are alphabetically ordered, not logically), but rather have my own dialog with 6 fields or even some predefined positions I can choose from.

Is there any way of adding "custom actions"?
