Just a clarification.

My suggestion was to just use these programs. No need to create a workflow with them.

Have fun

Hey,

Not exactly an answer to your question but in case you are interested you can use Phoenix or Slate. Check them out on github.

Yes, I see. Maybe I am getting tangled due to old habits from other 'launcher' apps...

Thanks!

Hello Vero

Thank you for the (as usual) quick reply.

I will follow your advice and try to get used to the b + space syntax but I do feel like having to find ways for going around

the lack of control over the order of results. Is there a technical or design reason that such a simple feuture as being able to force a result

into the first place has not be implemented?

best,

Dionysis

Hello

This is a problem that I have from time to time with Alfred:

The usual pattern:

1) I want a particular result and type my selected keyword in.

2) The result is not first so I select it and press enter.

3) Next time it is further up so after doing that a few times a get it to stay first.

But sometimes no matter how many times I select it and hit enter the result will not become the first option. In the occasion

that prompted me to write this I have a 1password result called "something Bandcamp" so every time I hit 'b' I get it as

the first result. Now it happens that I want the 'b' keyword to always trigger a workflow for pinboard bookmarks. This workflow

is one that I use all the time so I I do not want to have to move to a different result than the first every time.

This has happened in the past and I have found my self inventing workarounds and changing keywords to avoid it!

Apart from finding why the behavior is not consistent (bug?), wouldn't it be simpler to have a modifier key allowing us to evaluate a particular

result and set it as first at once?

Dionysis

I can not see an 'about link'. I just got it so I am on version 2.1.

My system is Mavericks so maybe is related to that....

Hello there,

Thanks for trying to fix this workflow

I am using it with a dual monitor setup and if I try to arrange the window it extends it to fill both monitors.

Is there any way to fix that?

best,

Dionysis

That's great! Thank you for taking the time to respond to my question

And on the positive side, I got introduced on the keyword to 'browse' workflow which I am already finding really useful!!

best wishes,

Dionysis

That is exactly what I did. Maybe I wasn't clear in the previous post. Let me try again

Normally when I have a keyword for a folder I:

1. hit cmd-space

2. input the keyword in Alfred

3. hit the right arrow to start browsing

This is the behavior with all my folders so my muscle memory for this motion is really strong.

Now with the workflow ('keyword' connected to 'browse in Alfred') I have to do:

1. - same as above - 

2. - same as above -

3. hit enter!!

I am sure you can imagine the result I just get it wrong every single time!!

How can I simulate the usual behavior?

Thanks!

Dionysis

Ah! So it is not a bug.

That should be fine then. I will follow you advice and create a workflow. It is really simple to create it but a bit inconsistent that I need to hit enter to browse the folder in Alfred. My muscle memory is trained to hit the right arrow for browsing folders. Could you give me a quick hint of how to make it so that typing dw automatically opens the folder for browsing in Alfred?

The favorites workflow (Fav) does it using a script filter but there is so many things going on in there that I can not figure it out...

Dionysis

Just had the same issue after a clean install of OSX Mavericks. To be exact it happens when adding a comment dw to the downloads folder.

Alfred finds it only if I manually add the home directory. The side effect is the addition of the whole library.

Could someone try to recreate? It works now but it is the third time that, after forgetting about it, I had to chase down the reason things are not working as expected.

Thanks!

Dionysis

Thank you for your answer Andrew,

I will investigate further and will get back to you only if the issue persists after a reinstall of the whole system.

Hello

I am tracking the reason for my macbook pro's (10.8.5) slow startups and noticed a very slow startup time for alfred in the console:

Is that normal?

best wishes,

Dionysis

Hello

Thanks for trying to solve it. Unfortunately I tried the new download but I am still getting the problem.

Deletion of folders/files is not working

It is not working for me either...

Sorry to bring  this bug up again but I actually run onto it after I completely forgot about it. I was getting a lot of random results from ~/library and I was wondering what is going on. 

I then realized that I have included the whole home folder! I removed the folder and ticked the default box and then lost the access to the spotlight comments. After wondering what

is going on for a bit I remembered the bug and my solution (which is causing my current issue). It would be great if you can add this to your TODO list to have a look at some point.

By the way, after using Alfred for the last months I can not imagine living without it. With workflows I have elegantly achieved things that I could not do with any other launcher.

Really, amazing job guys!!

Hi there

Thanks for the workflow. It is great!

One of the things I am using it for is to send a URL to safari and then cmd-D to save the bookmark. I keep my bookmarks in safari so that they sync using iCloud but prefer to use chrome on the mac because of Vimium. My question is: is there a way to send the URL directly to safari bookmarks so that I do not have to go through the extra step of sending it to Safari?

best,

Dionysis

Thank you or your reply Vero!

I just assumed that keyboard latching would work for everything including search items. Just a habit coming from LaunchBar…  

But apart from the search items is everything else subject to the same keyword latching behavior?

Dionysis

Hello

Yes a bit annoying… I changed the sound to a more pleasant click...

Hey,

Quite an old topic but just wondering if you found any other solution to that. The alert sound can be quite useful sometimes so I would prefer to keep it on….

best,

Dionysis

Everything working fine for me

Thank you!!!!

Hey (again)

Just a little detail. When starting the workflow from an empty page (for example a new email) it will bring in the editor the last thing on the clipboard.

Dionysis

Hey

just to clarify that this is still happening when I use the 'Include Folders in Home' check box. It is not a problem for me because I kept the manualy added ~ in the search scope.

Dionysis

Simply brilliant  

Man you are really fast!! Thank you so much. I was missing QuickCursor like crazy. I will update you if anything else crops up.

Thanks again!!!!!
