Hi Matt,

 

You can use dashes instead of slashes if you'd like to swap month and day:

 

Example: To find December 4th, 2012, use 11-4-2012

 

Hope that helps!

That's helpful; thanks.

Hi Brian,

Cool. Any chance you could internationalise it? m/d/y isn't a very common format, even if the US uses it.

Hi all,

I made a workflow to allow easily generating filename slugs with Alfred 2. All the details, screenshots and download are here: http://mattgemmell.com/2013/03/26/generating-filename-slugs-with-alfred-2/

'Slugs' are URL/filename-safe versions of strings, commonly used for filenames or in permalinks or CMS systems. So, for example, "Alfred 2 is fab!" would become "alfred-2-is-fab".

My workflow allows setting a default filename-extension (which you can always override on a case-by-case basis), and offers plain, date-prefixed, and date-and-time-prefixed versions of slugs. See the blog post for more.

Hope you find it useful.

Cheers,

-Matt

Hi all,

I missed the Alfred 1.x "action" keyword, which I usually used to open the selected Finder items in an app (more often than not Photoshop). So I made an Alfred 2.x workflow to do that.

You can download it here: http://mattgemmell.com/files/open_selected_finder_items_alfred2.zip

Usage is simple:

1. Type the keyword ("fsel" by default, for "Finder selection") then a space.

2. Type the name of the app you want to use (and/or pick it from the list), and hit Return.

Hope someone else finds it useful. Once again, you can download it here: http://mattgemmell.com/files/open_selected_finder_items_alfred2.zip

Cheers,

Matt Gemmell
