Thanks that is exactly what I was looking for.   I did not think in that frame and was stuck on making Hangouts to be the default Mac OS Dial program.  

I know this is not specific to Alfred but does anyone know if there is a way to associate the tel:{query} Phone field under Contacts Features with Google Hangouts.  When I used to work for Cisco I had this tied to Cisco Jabber so I could dial from Alfred Contact search with Jabber.  I want too do the same with Google Hangouts which I run in Chrome to Dial a phone Number.  I have  Jabra USB headset connection to my Laptop and the only missing piece is the convenient Dialer from Alfred.  I have my Contacts uploaded to Google so I can Dial with Hangouts form Chrome by name but Alfred is far more convenient.  

I am thinking if there is way to make Google Hangouts the Default for Calls  in FaceTime.  However,  since Hangouts is not a resister Dialer applications not sure how to accomplish or if there is a possible workaround.  

Thx

I use BTT (BetterTouch Tool) and this program has a Remote iPhone control too.  It does exactly what I am asking for where it allows me to have 2 entries on my iPhone, one Direct over the Internet and one local over Bonjour.  

Any chance this feature can be implemented?  I have been asking for this feature since the Remote App was first introduced.  Seems like it should be doable.  

I would like to be able to define a Direct Connect and a Bonjour Connection from my iPhone to the Same MAC.  This allows a remote connection when my machine is home without having to delete it and reconfigure each time I take my Mac Book on the road.

I tried the following fix but still having issues:

#!/bin/bash
cd "/Users/xxxxx/Dropbox/Sync/Alfred 3/Alfred.alfredpreferences/workflows"

IFS=$'\n'

for d in *; do
  workflow_name="$(/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'print name' "${d}/info.plist")"
  mv "${d}" "${workflow_name}.$RANDOM"
done

I ran the following fix but still experiencing the same issue:

#!/bin/bash
cd "/Users/xxxx/Dropbox/Sync/Alfred 3/Alfred.alfredpreferences/workflows"

IFS=$'\n'

for d in *; do
  workflow_name="$(/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'print name' "${d}/info.plist")"
  mv "${d}" "${workflow_name}.$RANDOM"
done

Here is a inspect of the Python process.

This is starting to be a real problem and making Alfred almost unusable.  It just happened again and all I did was run a workflow that runs and amazon search.  

I have noticed a similar behavior since upgrading to 10.12.4.  I have noticed that the Alfred process is showing High CPU regularly now with 10.12.4.  When I look further I notice there is an issue where I constantly have to force quit the Python process on my Mac since the CPU is at 98% on the Python process.  When I inspect the process it is always related to a simple Alfred Workflow that has called the Python process.  I will continue to monitor it but it has happened 4 times in the last couple days and always the same situation.  

Edit the workflow and click on the Bug icon in the top right.  Then Chose "All Information" in the bottom left.  Execute the workflow and results will show in the debug window.

Same problem here only no movies work at all.  Using it for years so suspect something has changed on IMDB that has broken the Workflow.  

Here is the debug output showing that there is nothing returned:

I remember now that I solved it in Alfred 3by sending this to a Bash Script Output:

echo "{query}" | /usr/local/bin/growlnotify --title "DNS Status" --sticky

Thanks I figured as much just thought I remember it being different but I believe that goes back to when I used to use growl for notifications.  

I am having trouble remembering but when I have Alfred send a Banner through Notification Center I thought it would stay up until I clicked on it.  There is in fact a setting under Advanced Preferences that says "Remvoed When Clicked" however all my notifications disappear within a few seconds if I have them set to Banners.  The only workaround is to set Alfred Notifications  as Alerts instead.  Am I remembering incorrectly and if so then what is this setting for?  

I am running 10.12.2 Beta (16C60b)

I have run into a little bit of behavior issues with Alfred 3 that I never saw in previous releases.  On a number of occasions Alfred 3 stays in focus when it and is slow to respond to actions.  I have also run into High CPU issues which have forced me to quit Alfred.  See screen shot.

In addition here is a another issue I ran into with Alfred which I included in a comment on another post (Alfred v3 Applescripts are run twice [fixed b655]):

I ran into a similar issue when I called an Applescript that invokes Cisco Anyconnect with automation with Launch Program.  I have been using this workflow for years.   However now when I run the script  Alfred 3 stays in focus the entire time now and last time I ran it the VPN was connected and Alfred 3 hung and would not come back.  I eventually was forced to reboot as I could not kill Alfred 3 as a non admin user in Activity Monitor.  I did not attempt to kill the Alfred process as an Admin user but if it happens next time I will. Usually if I launch the workflow again the script checks to see if there is a current session and asks you to disconnect or continue.

I love this workflow but it no longer accepts an argument as a location in Alfred 3

Yes I have run into the same issue but have not looked into the workflow yet to see if I can find what is broken in Alfred 3.  Maybe someone who know Alfred 3 better - this is a great workflow.  

Totally understand and after figuring out growlnotify as a bash script argument I am good.  Glad to hear as most applications grow in size over time dramatically.  

Thanks Andrew for your quick reply.  Large type is a great option for me.   I am curious the Open File how it would be displayed.  

Not as elegant but I solved the problem with a BASH Shell action with the following growlnotify command since Alfred 3 does allow objects to be laid anywhere in the chain.

Wondering why native Growl support was dumped since Notification center is really limits with the size of the output.  I will need to rewrite quite a few Alfred 2 scripts.  

echo "{query}" | /usr/local/bin/growlnotify --title "CVO on THB-ENET2 Status" --sticky

Looking for some suggestions with Alfed 3. I have a number of workflows that output extensive text and without growl my output is reduced to 2 lines and basically useless.  I know it says I could use growl notify but that is a command line and do not want to rewrite all of my scripts and not sure of an easy way to send multiple outputs like below at one time to growlnotify.  

Most of these scripts are BASH shell and output a ton of info to growl that I need to see on the screen and always had the ability to choose a sticky output easily and it read all of the content.
