I'm not really sure what you're asking.  
 
Here's what my setup looks like:
 

@Marco Zehe Thanks for your report, I reproduced the workflows list not announcing the names correctly and have made a quick fix for the next build.
 
Accessibility is an important part of all software, and as a small team of 2, we try to keep the most used parts of Alfred up to date with voice over as Alfred's features quickly evolve. I admit that certain areas of accessibility within the preferences app aren't perfect, but this is something we try to address as they are highlighted to us.
 
The workflow editor itself needs a fundamental visualisation overhaul to be better compatible with VoiceOver (at the moment, it's one large single custom component rather than individual views/layers per workflow object), so the built-in support for Accessibility isn't available. Having said that, I've just spent the past few hours adding some custom VoiceOver announcements for hovering and selecting workflow objects within the canvas using the mouse. While this isn't perfect, it's a start.
 
This will be available within a few weeks when the next build becomes available.
 
I hope this helps!
 
Cheers,
Andrew

I've had no problems on my M1 MBP.

You can just do this with the .json files in Alfred.alfredpreferences/snippets .  Folders there are groups in Alfred.  

@Chris Messina that error isn't from Alfred, it looks like it's from Finder. If the URL parses as valid, Alfred has no way of knowing what happens after it gets passed off to macOS to handle, so isn't involved in this error.
 
It would definitely be more helpful if they showed more info - I'm sure pre Big Sur did too!

That's perfect. Thank you. I didn't know that's how you pass the argument 😬
 
I had also tried changing the script filter to "with input as query" and passing the file name in the Alfred window, but I got an error either way. This was super helpful.
 
Thanks

I was listening to the 'automators' podcast yesterday where they were talking about their uses for the Elgato Streamdeck. 
They were also discussing the streamdeck iOS Application as well as Metagrid (a 30$ iPad app)
This made me realise Alfred in combination with the remote app could give us almost all the same functionality.
 
I have purchased alfred remote years ago, but have honestly barely used it, but now I think I will start using it again.
When launching it again there were a few things I noticed that I would love to see in an upcoming release
an in-app option to keep the screen awake ( I know that this can be done globally in system setting, but it would make sense to do this per app IMO) ability to change icon sizes / increase number of icons contextual screens, show page specific for application / location / time of day  ability to hide the sidebar different pages add ability to swipe through pages quickly add an emoji as icon (like Notion.so does for example) Keyboard maestro integration per-device configuration (show different content on my iPhone and iPad) Automatically set favicon as icon for bookmarks I think the Alfred remote app has great potential as a modern productivity app, and it deserves to be promoted as such.

Here's a zsh script that should work. Run it in a Run Script with Language = /bin/zsh.
 
#!/bin/zsh set -e # Script settings # directory containing all files (only used to set other paths) dir="/Users/nathan/Dropbox/Maintenance/Notes" # the two source files that will be toggled source1="${dir}/obsidian1.css" source2="${dir}/obsidian2.css" # the file one of the sources will be written to target="${dir}/obsidian.css" # where the current value is saved statefile="${dir}/.current.txt" ####################################################################### # End of settings # Don't edit below unless you know what you're doing! ####################################################################### current= if [[ -f "$statefile" ]]; then current="$( cat "$statefile" )" fi source="$source1" if [[ "$current" = "$source1" ]]; then source="$source2" fi command cp -f "$source" "$target" echo -n "$source" > "$statefile" echo "switched: $current --> $source" >&2  

Got it. Well, appreciate the warning as I understand you to be offering it in good faith and that you're just looking out for me! 

It doesn't need updating.
 
 
That's just a cache (workflows can also contain snippets). Snippets still go in the snippets subdirectory of your Alfred.alfredpreferences bundle.
 
 
That's not required. You can still just save them as JSON files to the Alfred.alfredpreferences bundle exactly as described in the script README.
 

Not a question but just wanted to say that the recent new update to Alfred Forum is very awesome. I like how warm it looks. 😻

Updated March 26, 2022 to use Python 3 for MacOS 12.3 
 
Now featuring Universal Action triggers and hotkeys for the following five actions:
 
Uppercase
Lowercase
Capitalize - capitalizes all words (e.g. Posting A New Topic In Share Your Workflows)
Title Case - capitalizes word except for "the", "in", "of" etc. according to American English title conventions (e.g. Posting a New Topic in Share Your Workflows)
Sentence Case - capitalizes only the first letter of the first word & converts the rest to lower case
 
All of these are set to Copy to Clipboard and Paste by default.
 
There's also a script filter cc which lets you view the query converted and select your choice (like the Code Case workflow).
 
You can also connect a hot key directly to the cc script filter directly to view the output options without typing the cc command and pasting your text.

NB This is a new link and will download as a new workflow - you'll need to migrate any hotkeys and delete or disable the older version.
 
Here's the old Python 2 version in case anyone wants it:
 
https://www.dropbox.com/s/3k2lh21g5wnqrkp/Case Converter 2.alfredworkflow?dl=0
 
The original version is described below and still available, if anyone prefers it.
 
Workflow Version:
 
This workflow converts the case of the text on the clipboard.
 
http://dfay.fastmail.fm/alfred/Case%20Converter.alfredworkflow
 
There are two workflows which display the following five options:
 
Uppercase
Lowercase
Capitalize - capitalizes all words (e.g. Posting A New Topic In Share Your Workflows)
Title Case - capitalizes word except for "the", "in", "of" etc. according to American English title conventions (e.g. Posting a New Topic in Share Your Workflows)
Sentence Case - capitalizes only the first letter of the first word & converts the rest to lower case
 
The keyword case will transform the text on the clipboard without pasting the result.
The keyword casep will transform the text on the clipboard and paste (using Applescript System Events)
 
Hotkey Version:
 
Here is a version for use with hotkeys which will operate on the active selection in OS X and paste it with the converted text.  These all have a half second delay prior to pasting, which is necessary for Applescript to be able to paste.
 
http://dfay.fastmail.fm/alfred/Case%20Hotkeys.alfredworkflow
 
Notes and Revision History:
 
These use the Title Case perl script found at https://raw.github.com/ap/titlecase/master/titlecase .
 
If you manage academic citations with BibDesk, Zotero, Papers, Mendeley, etc., Title Case conversion is especially useful for cleaning up downloaded citations.
 
Updated May 3, 2013 with nicer colored icon thanks to mjv ( http://www.alfredforum.com/user/4384-mjv/ )
 
Updated February 5, 2014 to handle Sentence Case and to add a second keyword to paste after conversion.
 
Updated May 20, 2014 with hotkeys

@dfay Thank you, thank you! I am in your debt. I literally upgraded Alfred just for this.  
 
When I'm on Slack and need to complete a sentence like "we frobnicated 6,122,849 doodads between 8:28 and 12:49, a rate of one million every..."  – which seems to be a lot of my life the past few weeks – there is nothing so useful as a good RPN calculator, and none so close to hand and fast to use as yours. Thank you.

A simple RPN calculator that works like the built-in calculator.  Requires spaces as delimiters between elements in the expression.  Built using deanishe's Alfred python library.
 
e.g.
 
19 2.14 + 4.5 2 4.3 / - *
 
produces an Alfred result:
 
85.2974418605
Action this item to copy this number to the clipboard
 
There is a single keyword:
 
rpn

2018-07-10: updated with working link
2020-07-26 updated with latest version of deanishe's Alfred python library.

An update 
 
This workflow seems to be working with Alfred 4.1 on macOS Big Sur Public Beta. 
I combine it with Unclutter to quickly access my desktop file from the upper drawer folder and sync the DeskDrawer folder to another Mac, an iPhone and iPad via Resilio Sync.. No problem so far 👍

That’s how the Case Converter works.

Here’s an existing workflow that allows both keyword (to script filter) and triggers:
 
 

That was Andrew. Alfred doesn't post on the forum. Not yet, at any rate.

One other note re Pacmax - the design could be tightened up a lot - there’s quite a lot of white space e.g. on every page there’s a big open area with a horizontal line and then the page title in a huge font, and only below that is the actual content.  I’d also prefer one workflow per line in results, rather than needing to read down newspaper columns.  And it would be nice to keep the search box in view even when you scroll down (an issue currently exacerbated by the multi column format).

Yes I agree.

I was actually able to accomplish this using a combination of applescript (to tab to the next fields), and the Alfred "copy to clipboard" workflow module.

Thanks for the reply!

No worries I’ll sort it out and post updated version.
 
@done(2020-07-26)

Haha it only took four years for someone to take an interest in this   I've updated the link -- hope you find it useful.

Version: Alfred 4.1 (Build 1167)
 
I often wish I could write myself a note and place it wherever I want inside a workflow. This could be as simple as a plain, colorless text box, or something more configureable. The issue with what we have currently (the "Edit Note..." action) is that the text is fixed beneath whatever object houses it. As a result, the user is forced to write a note about a specific object, not the workflow at large.
