    The easiest option is to exclude those directories from Spotlight indexing or from Alfred.

    dfay got a reaction from CJK in Snippets to work only with certain Lauguage input   
    You'd need to call up Alfred then type the keyword.  A snippet trigger aves a keystroke but more importantly it's less of an intrusion into ordinary typing flow (in my experience).

    dfay reacted to Korean Guy in Snippets to work only with certain Lauguage input   
    I love the snippets feature and uses like 100 times a day!
    One thing I wish Alfred could is, I could set up a certain group of snippets to be working on certain language input mode only
    for example I use ;br to make it best regards, I never type ;br on English, but I use it when I type different language.
    So it would be nice to make it disable this snippet to work when I'm using different language.
    Many thanks!!!!

    @vitor There's nothing special about the Pdfs that I use - same fields. However, I've updated a random classic chapter of something for you here: https://cl.ly/bc6972285a77
     
    I've attached a screenshot of the usual fields from Adobe Acrobat below. However, these are the same fields that you'll see if you "Get Info" through Finder. 
     
    Relatedly, I took @dfay's advice and purchased HoudahSpot, which is great for viewing and search through this metadata, too. When you add the columns/fields to your search results, you can even sort by them. It's great!

    Thanks - That screenshot is actually from a workflow that I created using your script - which works great! Thanks again!!
     
    However, I only use it to apply existing Finder tags (not to search or apply more complicated hierarchical tags).

    dfay reacted to PowellPerson in Upside Down Alfred   
    Currently, if you place your Alfred window to appear at the very bottom of you Mac screen, the search bar will be sitting at the bottom, but the search results will shift the whole window up and down based on the results you get. It's jumpy and weird, shifting the search bar as you type. Because of this, you essentially can't put Alfred on the bottom of your screen. 
     
    My feature suggestion is to have an option for the search results to appear above the search bar, so then you could place the bar at the bottom of your screen (photo attached), and have the search results neatly shift up and down, without the whole window jumping around.
     
    I think bottom center of my Mac screen would be a really cool place to put my Alfred window, and have the results expand up into the screen.

    Great stuff @dfay!
     
     Note that it's not necessary to hardcode in hacks for these apps that now support Dark Mode natively:
     
    * Things 3.7
    * OmniFocus 3.1
    * TaskPaper 3.8
    * HazeOver 1.8
    * Ulysses 14
     
    Hopefully all other apps worth their salt ASAP! However, I must say conflicting times, and I personally want on a per app basis, the abililty to control Dark Mode theme support. So I may be returning to your script enhancements to override the other way soon!

    dfay reacted to advena in Problem with Write Text File using multiple variables   
    Hey @Bhishan--
     
    I decided to post this to the forum in case it helps someone else out.
     
    There were two main things I was doing wrong. First was running each variable on its own thread. For what I was doing, the proper thing to do was to have everything on one thread (and therefore running one after the other).
     
    The second issue I was having was with filters. You'll need to google to understand exactly why it happens (I don't understand it well enough to explain it), but I was having unwanted newlines & whitespace in the output. This meant filters weren't working as I expected (since the input to the filter had newlines etc I didn't know about). That was fixed by using some `Transform` and `Replace` utilities.
     
    I'll attach both of the workflows based around the original workflow.
     
    Hope these workflows help you figure it out

    Fake.app is the easiest way to do stuff like this - but it may be overkill for your needs, if you don’t want to run the task in a separate browser.

    # fuzzylist
    Fuzzy, self-updating list filter workflow for Alfred 3 & 4
    This is a workflow template - it does nothing as is.
     
    ## Usage:
    - create a csv file like you would for an Alfred List Filter, with an optional fourth field containing the path to an icon file for that result.
    - name the file *list.csv* and add it to the workflow directory
    On the initial run, the workflow will create a file list.json for output to the fuzzy search.  If list.csv is modified, it will update list.json .

    dfay got a reaction from Jasondm007 in File action w/list of actions   
    I made a few fixes to your code but it's still not working for me either:
    import json, os, subprocess, sys cmd = ['./tag', '-r', '\*'] + json.loads(os.getenv('filesList')) subprocess.call(cmd) That fixed an error caused by a missing ] and puts all the arguments as separate list items, both of which I think are necessary, but it doesn't work....
     
    Confirmed that it works on the command line.
     
    @deanishe any ideas?
