Found it.

Input is not the selected text, but what's in the clipboard.

Just installed v2.5 from https://github.com/jaroslawhartman/TimeZones-Alfred.

I can see the times in 4 cities when `tz` is typed.

But typing `tz 14:00` as shown in the documentation shows the default searches vs the time in the pre-defined time zones.

Any idea?

Thank you, works great.

Hear hear!

Alfred truly is an amazing product.

I tried Raycast for a few months and came back to Alfred. Alfred just feels fast.

I think not need any workflow.

Sure but in my case, I wanted to be able to type "zip" and hit return in the actions menu.

You are right.

The proper way would be running a bash script along the lines of

```

ditto -c -k --sequesterRsrc --keepParent "$@" "$(dirname "$1")/Archive.zip"

```

but I'd like the zip file's name to be the file/folder name if the input is a single file/folder and "Archive.zip" if the input has more than 1 item.

Not sure how to code that part.

In the meantime, I've installed the free Keka app and it does the job.

@Stephen_C Turns out this is possible w/o using the Shortcuts app.

Changed the settings of the built-in Archive Utility to output zip files and then used the "Open File" action of Alfred.

However, the Shortcut also doesn't work if I add it as a Quick Action and run it on files as a Quick Action from Finder.

You are right.

I updated the Shortcut like this and now it works when invoked via a Quick Action in Finder:

It does not still work via the Alfred workflow though.

What happens if you select files rather than a folder? Is the result the same?

 

Stephen

Just tried. The same result - nothing happens.

Have the same question.

Did you find anything @Stooovie?

Assuming you have Alfred's Powerpack, go to its preferences → Features → Setup fallback results.

Here you can drag them around to reorder.

Hi. I am trying to pass selected file(s)/folder(s) from Alfred's File Search to a custom Shortcut that uses the "Make Archive" action.

Shortcut:

Workflow:

The expectation is that if I select say, a folder in Alfred's file search results and I bring up the action panel and select "Zip" it should generate a zip file having the same name as the folder. Atm, nothing happens.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Zip 4.0 for Alfred 3

Error 404

We can't find the page you're looking for.

The download link is not working anymore.

For anyone looking to do the same here's another (newer?) way:

This may be a Chrome question rather than a Alfred question.

I am trying to open a Chrome bookmarklet via Alfred (tried both as a Web Search and a custom workflow using Automation Task) and it shows this kind of prompt for each domain:

Does anyone know a way around this to suppress these?

Thanks in advance.

I installed https://alfred.app/workflows/adamsmith/moom/ and gave it permission to control Moom.

After that when I bring up Alfred and invoke "Change Moom Layout", it just fills `moom` and brings up the default search interface:

Any idea?

You need to give us some information to work with. What does the debugger say?

I shall share in my next post.

Here's a screencast: https://www.berrycast.com/conversations/3c91724e-8483-5585-9fc8-1936b52898fb

I've installed the workflow and can get to Safari tabs via a set hotkey or typing safari tabs {query}.

From the animated gif screenshot, it looks I can simply start typing the name of one of my open Safari (and Chrome) tabs but when I do that, don't get any matching results.

Any idea?

Sure.

Example 1

Let's say I want to share some text on a webpage with someone. With LaunchBar, I can select the text, press a designated hotkey (⌥ in my case) and have it invoke LB with the selected text.

Then I begin typing the name of any app installed on my computer to which I can send text - in this case, Droplr and hit return to have the ready-to-be-shared URL in the clipboard.

Example 2

Let's say I am writing some code in Sublime Text and I wanted to read more about a particular function. I select the function name, press ⌥ and begin typing 'd' and hit ↵ to send it to Dash where I can look up its documentation or in Google etc.

https://nostodnayr.net/2019/05/summon-and-send

Pity. I'll continue to use LaunchBar alongside Alfred for its Instant Send feature then.

I would like to select some text on a webpage, press a hotkey and send it as input to apps that accept text input.

Ex.: Select the text "enqueue" on a page, press ⌥⌘\ and when Alfred comes up, start typing "das" and when Dash appears in the list, hit return to search my selection in Dash.

Ideally I should not have to hard-code or specify Dash to some list manually but should be able to send to any installed app.

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance.

@kagi, I don't know if you've read all the posts above, but @Andrew added the possibility to pop the "open with" action directly with the latest beta update (called "Jump to" in the "Action in Alfred" workflow object). So, if you want to use it right away you can do it!

 

Here is an updated version of my workflow I gave you, but with this new feature: https://d.pr/f/Qb4Pn2

Hi,

I am trying to see if Alfred can replace LaunchBar's Instant Send feature for me and this makes it one step closer. Thank you.

Is it possible to set the trigger key for this workflow to be a single press of ⌥? I tried it but it doesn't appear, so had to settle with double ⌥.

Thanks for your reply and the workflow. It is pretty useful.
