10 month bump 

....but seriously, I never did work this one out. 

Thanks to Vítor suggesting debugging the workflow, we have success.

Seems the workflow was referencing Alfred V2s app cache folder, which may have got removed during the update.

Error: unable to open database "/Users/Jamie/Library/Caches/com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred-2/Workflow Data/dk.aiyo.SendURL/appCache.db"

The inelegant solution was initially to just nuke Alfred v3, reinstall and hope for the best, but ended up going through all the .sh files in the workflow directory and replacing 2 with 3.

So yes, Vítor. You were right this time 

Still not sure the solution was 'easy' tho....but hey ho.

@Barrierfreeman Could you give an example of the ones that aren't working for you that you're expecting to see? The workflow creator states that "The workflow only list the Apps installed on you mac." so you may not see the full list from his screenshot if you don't have all of these apps/browsers installed.

 

Any further details will allow us and fellow users to help you tweak the workflow if needed

Hello, Vero. 

I haven't got access to my Mac at the mo, but there is a pic of what I am seeing on the OP's GitHub page, as posted there to see if they could help. 

https://github.com/aiyodk/Alfred-Extensions/issues/16

Previously the list would populate with all relevant appa installed, like Safari, Chrome, Airmail, Notes etc.  So something has broken. If your tweet is correct, and it is **very** easy to fix, hopefully someone can help. 

This seems to have stopped working, as only offers to send url to a fraction of the previous options.

Any chance of a fix, please?

3 month bump. 

Sorry if this is not the right place to ask, or if there even is a right place to ask, but would anyone be able to create a workflow to incorporate Google site search? The workflow I had on v2 has stopped working, and I cannot contact the original creator. I did approach @alfredapp on Twitter about possibly incorporating this functionality into Alfred, or whether they could help me with the workflow, but apparently no on both accounts. So if anyone has time or inclination to knock up a site search workflow, or be able to point me in the direction of one that is working still in v3, that would be amazing. 

For the record, the v2 workflow was this one...

http://www.alfredforum.com/topic/1207-alfred2-workflow-for-google-search-suggestion-instant-search-and-current-site-search/

...and the functionality was this:

 

3. Site Search

Keyword gs: get instant google search results of front browser's site in Alfred based on {query}.

Supported browsers are: Safari, Google Chrome, Opera, OmniWeb, etc.

You can use site:example.com query if you do not want to search for current front browser's site.

Basically you'd put in the keyword and it would preview the search results as well as linking you to open the page search in your browser.

Taking a punt, but does anyone know how I can get this working again in v3 beta?

I use the site search feature all the time, but something seems to be broken now.

Guess I will just put up a site search req. if no joy here

Not even a reply telling me to shove it 

This has been something I have hoped would come to Alfred ever since I started using it several years ago. Unless I have been a massive plonker, and missed it, this functionality still does not exist.

Essentially when one scrolls through the clipboard viewer any links that are images would show a preview of said image. As one who deals with lots of image based urls, this would be very handy. 

Something a bit like this:

....if this could be carried on to preview links in the way say Twitter clients like Tweetbot does, then that would be even better.

For example:

This feature could be turned on and off via the settings, so those that do not want it can turn it off.

Thanks for reading...and if it's not obvious, I am not a designer 

Ah, I thought you may have. Many thanks again for getting it working again. It's my most used extension!

Works again. Excellent stuff, zhaowu.

The only thing which seems odd, is the option to show search results in browser, has moved from its usual position at #1 to #3 in the list:

Strange. After installing Mavericks, site search etc don't work

Any chance to have the option to use this workflow with Path Finder?

Funnily enough I could have really done with this last week!

Excellent stuff, all the same.

Cheers.

Thanks for this, great work.

...if possible, it would be good to have an option to clear all history.

Excellent stuff. Just what I was looking for!

Thanks for the script, Weaselboy. However, I managed to solve my problem in a similar fashion to you, by using the code from a V1 extension. Specifically, Daniel Kramer's Alfred V1 'open in chrome' extension.

 
property theURL : “”
 
tell application “Safari”
 
set theURL to URL of current tab of window 1
 
end tell
 
tell application “Google Chrome”
 
if (count of windows) is 0
make new window
else
make new tab at end of tabs of front window
end if
 
delay 1
 
set URL of active tab of front window to theURL
 
activate
 
end tell

If anyone wants to save themselves a couple of minutes, the workflow I cobbled together with the above code is here: http://d.pr/f/fVTW

Hi,

Unless Chrome is already opened, the workflow opens Chrome, but does not open the Safari url/active tab.

Is this a problem with the workflow, or something on my end?
