I think you want something like this. It's a file filter that will find apps only, attached to a Run Script object that will open a new instance of the app you choose.
Note: the file filter will search more locations than just /Applications/
that's exactly what I was looking for.
Besides, it has help me to understand better how this workflows works
Thanks!

Hi,
first of all, sorry for my english.
The other day I found that there is a terminal command to force openning an app more than 1 time. For example, openning two VLC windows.
That terminal command is 'open -n /applications/vlc.app'
My idea is to create a ALFRED WORKFLOW similar to this:
openn USER_INPUT_(APP_NAME)
an example:
typing openn vlc
then, execute the terminal command: open -n /applicaciones/USER_INPUT_(APP_NAME).app
I know how to get USER_INPUT_(APP_NAME), but I do not know how to "paste" this text in the TERMINAL COMMAND
One more thing, is there any command to really close a TERMINAL WINDOW? I know there is 'exit' but this command does not close the windows, just finish the console.
Again sorry for my english, and thank in advance.

Do you know that you can set up a shortkey for actioning the currently selected finder item and thereby choosing (or moving) "open with" (to the top) to open it in another application?
It sounds like it would be much faster than typing fsel and application name.
amazing info!!!!
I was looking into it
I have made my first app (turning images to jpg files) with automator, and with this alfred way of selectin/sending files it becomes perfect. I select files with pathfinder, i get them in alfred with the 'file selection' option, and then I send them to my little app
GREAT!!!

thanks!
It's incredible what Apple has told me, let me paste it (first in spanish and then a translation to english...):
Revisadas las notas de su caso, compruebo que el problema solo lo tiene en documentos office que son de Microsoft. Esto es un comportamiento normal del Spotlight, que va indexar en las aplicaciones de Apple, titulo y contenido y en aplicaciones de tercera parte como es Microsoft Office para Mac, solo el titulo de los archivos, ya que el sistema operativo no sabe leer dentro de estos archivos creados con aplicaciones de Microsoft, que pueden funcionar en un equipo con sistema operativo Mountain Lion, pero no sabe interpretar lo que contiene. Por ejemplo en Pages, Numbers y Keynote, si indexa el contenido. Resumiendo, solo las aplicaciones de Apple tendrán todo su contenido y titulo indexado en Spotlight, y las aplicaciones no de Apple, solo el titulo.
Revised the case notes, I see that the only problem is with Microsoft office documents. This is normal behaviour of Spotlight, which index title and content in Apple applications, but in third-party applications such as Microsoft Office for Mac, only the title of the files are indexed. Because the operating system can not read within these files created with Microsoft applications, which can run on a computer with Mountain Lion operating system, but you can not interpret what it contains. For example in Pages, Numbers and Keynote spotlight indexes the content. In short, only Apple applications have all your content and title indexed in Spotlight, and not Apple applications, only the title.
I have told them that another user has tested the problem for me in his mac, and yes, spotlight index inside Microsoft Office Documents.
Would you mind to repeat the test and make a couple of screen captures? one with your system information (os x version etc), and another with the spotlight inside-search finding the office file containing the text searched.
Pd: the thing that really makes me angry is how the try to fool me
Again, thanks for your time and sorry for my English.

newbie error from me
I have my first iMac only for 3 months, now it is ok, the problem was that I did not choose pathfinder to be the default file browser
Thanks for your time

It still seems as if there is something weird about that file that is causing issues with Spotlight because, in testing I was able to easily create a .docx and a .xlsx that Alfred was able to search and find the keyword that I inserted into it. How many different files have you been able to replicate this with? Is it just this one?
I have more testing, it is not about a particular file, it seems something with at least all office archives (docx, xlsx). I have made a little new xlsx file and the problem is the same. Spootlight does not find/index the content of the file
Here is a dropbox link with the example failed files --> https://www.dropbox.com/s/f4n3y4v5398mdcd/ficheros_indexacion.zip

Hi,
In my Alfreds testing, I see that it is integrated with OS X Finder. I don't like Finder, I prefer other software like Pathfinder, is there any way at this moment to change the default file browser from Finder to Pathfinder?
Or maybe in the future as a new feature?
PD: I think Alfred it's awesome, just the free stuff it's enough for me but I have bought the 'power pack' in order to support your effort and work
-
I have made some more testing and this is the conclusion:
Spootlight consider files like .txt, .pdf as 'Document', and 'Pdf document' respectively. Unfortunatelly with doc(x), xls(x) is not the same, they are considered just like 'Archives'.
It's curious that if you print a excel file as a pdf file, the resulting pdf file is correctly indexed by spootlight.
Anyone know if that is normal, if it has a solution or maybe it could be a OS X bug?

Good night
I have tested and it seems not to be a problem of Alfred, but a Spootlight problem. I have reindexed spootlight various times:
- with Alfred reindex option
- with onyx reindex option
- with osx reindex option --> described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2409?viewlocale=es_ES
- En el menú Apple (), selecciona Preferencias del Sistema.
- Haz clic en Spotlight.
- Haz clic en la pestaña Privacidad.
- Arrastra un carpeta o un volumen entero (tu disco duro) hasta la lista.
- Si se te pide confirmación, haz clic en Aceptar.
- Elimina el ítem o volumen que acabas de añadir a la lista haciendo clic en él y, a continuación, haz clic en el botón menos ("-").
- Cierra las preferencias de Spotlight.
Spotlight volverá a indexar los contenidos de la carpeta o del volumen
none of this options works ok for me, the same error continues in spootlight. Spootlight does not find ok inside some files, so Alfred has the same problem.
Any idea of what can i do to resolve the spootilight problem?
Thanks!

The way to fix this is to change the "Removable Media" to "Local Mounted Volumes". OS X does the categorisation of the drives, Alfred is just asking for drives with this categorisation.
If drives are showing up which you don't want to see, add them to the "Blacklist" below in the same preferences.
Hope this helps!
Andrew
perfect, doing both things it behaves exactly as I want

Hi all of you,
thanks for your time. I have told about a problem in this thread --> http://www.alfredforum.com/topic/2986-removable-media-detection-error/
because of this first one problem, I have found a second one. As you can see here:
Alfred detects an internat partition (the second partition of my internat iMac hard drive) as removable/ejectable volume.
Is this normal? I think internal partitions should not be shown as removable/ejectables.
Greetings
Carlos
While this isn't ideal, this is normal as part of the way OS X reports volumes to Alfred. Your best bet is to add the drives you don't want to Alfred's volume blacklist under the eject prefs.
Cheers,
Andrew
Done! it works perfect, now I don't see the unwanted partition

Hello people,
for the moment, this is the last problem I had yesterday testing Alfred. One awesome feature I discovered is the 'in' option for finding files containing inside a text.
But In my testings, I see it works sometimes but fails in other ones. Here is an example:
In this example, I search inside for the text 'Avatar'. Alfred found this text correctly in the file called 'DVDs y 720p a regalar.xls'. However, this same text its inside a file called 'MKV - Listado peliculas.xls' (as you can see in the attached image) and Alfred does not detect it.
Thanks in advance for your time

Hello,
first of all, sorry for my english. I hope you can understand me enough.
I am new with alfred, and it's a great great app, so good that I have bought the power pack.
After my first tests, I have found some problems, the first one is this:
As you can see, Alfred does not detect an external usb 3.0 hard drive as 'removable media' in the eject command. If I change from 'removable media' option to 'volume' it works, but if I do it, it shows more drives that I don't want to be shown.
Am I doing something wrong or is it a bug?
Greetings
