It took me a while to understand this but i must say, well done i can find almost everything with this workflow.

link doesn't work

Sorry, fixed it.

​Use with Terminal Hack: defaults write com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred-2 experimentalBlur -int 13

Yes, thanks for bringing it back!

 Racer, would you kindly provide your updated workflow with the deleting mechanism? Thank you very much

Sure! Sorry for late reply. Here it is

Well since its a single disk with a known partition schema and partition type, diskutil will do it. Check out the documentation on `diskutil mount`. Works the same way it would to mount a partition on linux. `mount <device> <mount point>`. Google should be able to point you at several examples

got it quicker than i thought it would take. thx.

Could you explain a little better what it is you are wanting to do?

Thanks for the response.

I would like to make a workflow that mounts my drive. I have two partitions so what i would like to do is mount both. Is this possible and if so can you tell me how?

Anyone?

Could anyone tell me how to make this?

Thanks

My guess is that your search scope isn't wide enough.

 

Check under Features->Default Results->Search Scope.

 

However, if you don't want to slow down Alfred when you use it for everything else (how often, after all, do you need to search the whole system?) I recommend you create a workflow just for that.  Use the "File filter from keyword and open" template, set the scope to "/", leave the filetypes blank to include all filetypes, check the box for "Show system files" and voila!  I have done just that and use the keyword "sp" (for "Spotlight") and now it's my Spotlight replacement.  The only thing it doesn't do is search volumes (like flash drives)...not sure how to handle that one.

Thanks for tip. i'll give it a shot. Couldn't you just add your flash drive to the search scope?

I have configuration of two monitors with one under another.

And alfred widnwos doesn't open on a second monitor even with option "Show Alfred on mouse screen". 

Same here. It works when the displays are set side by side.

Have you tried changing the File Search options? Here's a screenshot of the settings I'm talking about:

If you tell it to include (i.e. uncheck) 'Source files' and 'Plist files', it should give you what you want.

 

Cheers

It does not. I am running DP4 of Mavericks so that might be the issue here. But, even in ML Alfred seems to have trouble showing these file types.

For example, take com.apple.dock.plist i can find it in Spotlight but for some reason it refuses to show in Alfred.

Could this be added to the "find" and open "keywords"? It seems like Alfred doesn't find everything in the query whereas spotlight does. For example plist files, bin files and the like.

Minimizes all windows, like Win+D does on Windows OS

Set a desirable hotkey, like Ctrl+D

Awesome! 

There isn't right now but I'm wondering if this functionality was something that was simply overlooked. I'll make a note of it and make sure to bring it to Andrew's attention. Maybe it would be something he could add to 2.1?

Can you ask him to add quicklook to dictionary?

I don't like using finder or any other file managers. I think alfred spoiled me, I expect a little too much of it. It would be kinda convenient for me, less apps the better, less use finder the better. Alfred has replaced or introduced me to quite a few utilities and File managing from alfred is something that could be pretty cool for me.

Path remembering is oddly not working, kinda strange it used to work I guess a reindex.

Hi! I really like this theme, but the download link says the file has been moved or deleted. Could you perhaps reupload it? Thank you!

Here is a copy of his theme. Not completely accurate but whatever.

I would like to replicate this myself. Maybe try turning full fuzzy matching in alfred. It's in alfred preferences, advanced.

Hi, 

 

I have a problem with this Hotkey "cmd opt +", it's show something, but this Hotkey was already in use for Zoom in,

How to disable this hotkey in alfred, i want to keep my "zoom in" without showing this window ?

 

Thank's

More detail please. Could you take a screenshot your window? Press command + shift + 3.

He’s using Chrome just as an example. That solution would be impractical in the long term, as he’d have to do the same for everything.

 

Thing is, setting a workflow is ideal here. Full fuzzy matching won't show for example 'ome' or the last 3 letters of an app/file which is also what he wants. For most everything else, he should be good.

It's his only option in this case, and that's what i was trying to say..

 

First of all thanks for the great Alfred app. 

 

Everything is super cool, one thing missing and I think it is very important to me and to lots of people around who love productivity. The missing feature is fuzzy search. 

 

e.g. 

 

1- search: "application design" ----> result: "application design"

2- search: "application d" ----> result: "application design"

3- search: "app design" ----> result: "application design"

4- search: "a d" ----> result: "application design"

 

With the time the app should learn, in the example above it should smart guess that I want application design by only typing "a d" based on my history search. 

 

The current search is good but far from perfect I hate having to type the word correctly to get the result e.g. I have to type "chro" to get "chrome" and cannot type "ome" to get the same result. 

 

 

 

Thanks, 

Aziz

 

This will help: Alfred Preferences >Advanced >App matching >Full Fuzzy match 

It won't search for the last three words though.

So do this:

Make a workflow and set a hotkey or keyword to launch files, in this case, chrome and set it to no argument.

A bit off course, I would really find it useful if Alfred wouldn't magically dissapear every time I select a new window, there could be a check option for that. Countless times I need to keep an alfred window open and look at another window for a sec and then come back. Or copy some text by eye.

File navigation could be a lot better as well. Maybe tabs and multiple windows in the far term future (I can wait) also, Alfred ought to remember paths. When I go into say my volume directory hit macintosh hd, hit users hit my documents, close alfred, it only remembers up to volumes, really not good, and it happens with every directory that has somewhat of a path. //rant

I wonder if i need a dropbox account in order for it to dl into a .appearance file.

Here is the link !

 

What it looks like : 

 

How do i apply this? I get a txt file.

I do not intend to make and maintain a separate version with marginal different behaviour, specially since there are easy instructions, made simpler with each revision, exactly for that purpose. Like I said before, when you already have the tools installed, you only need to start at step 6, and it’s pretty straightforward, just one small addition and one small substitution.

The reason I don’t include that feature by default, is that it would mean bundling ffmpeg with the workflow, and I choose not to do that due to its license. Not that its license is necessarily incompatible with mine, it’s not, but I made the conscious choice of making the workflows on that github repo, together with every resource in them, public domain.

In another post I briefly touched on why, for this reason, I decide to not include software with more restrictive licenses. I want anyone that uses this code to be able to take any part, at any time, and use it in any way, for whatever purpose they so choose, without having to think about it.

 

You could argue I could simply include the command for it, and not the ffmpeg executable, but that, to me, does not seem like it’d provide a good user experience.

I can bundle youtube-dl because its license is essentially the same as mine (do whatever you want).

Fortunately, what this also means, is that you (or anyone else) are free to get this workflow, bundle ffmpeg with it (and/or include the relevant commands), and redistribute it.

I’ve uploaded the version that gets both the video and audio (available for seven days), and removed from it the updating options, so it won’t automatically replace yours again. In the future, however, you’ll have to do the command substitution yourself (or keep that version); it really is very straightforward, and if there’s any step you find to be difficult to follow, I’d be glad to help, and possibly even update the instructions to make it clearer.

Thanks, i also got it to work by changing some lines of code as you stated in page 1. I forgot to do the export path part my bad.
