    Any sensibly-made workflow will have the gems bundled with it, so the workflows themselves need fixing/updating. Obviously, you could work around that by installing the gems globally, but as I said earlier, it would be sensible to report the issue in the workflows’ threads where the authors will see the posts (and hopefully release fixes for everyone).

    Which functionality? Do you want to pass your own file to Alfred’s application list or do you want to show you own list when someone actions a File Action?
  3. deanishe
    Many files in ~/Library are marked as "system files", so you can't include them in Alfred's default results. Instead, create a File Filter to search that directory and on the Search Scope tab, select "Show files marked as System File".

    You type them. As I said above, ⌥[ and ⌥⇧[ on an English keyboard get you opening and closing smart double quotes.

    I’m saying that the Mail menu item probably uses smart quotes, so you need to use them in the menu name, or it won’t match: click menu item “Take “GMAIL” Offline” where the inner pair of quotes are smart quotes. Similarly, any menu items ending with dot dot dot don’t end with three dots, but with one ellipsis.

    Glad it's working again.

    Now that I think about it, they’re probably “smart” quotes. IIRC, you press ALT+[ and ALT+SHIFT+[ to get them. Maybe ]. I can’t remember which is double and which is single quotes.

    Your description of the issue was not … ideal. I can't try it because I have no idea what an equation field in Word is, nor how to make one. That may be just me, but I doubt it. I suggest you make a Word document that demonstrates the problem, upload it somewhere and post a link. People are much more willing and able to help if they can see the problem for themselves.

    Can't test it, so this may not work, but usually with AppleScript you use & quote & to if you need to add " to a string, i.e.: click menu item "Take " & quote & "GMAIL" & quote & " Offline"...

    Are we talking about Safari here? I have a workflow for Safari that handles bookmarks amongst other things. It understands bookmarklets, although I haven’t implemented the front-end yet.

    That doesn't sound like it has anything whatsoever to do with Alfred. You should definitely buy the Powerpack, but I don't see how it could possibly help with something that sounds like 100% a problem with Word…

    I can live without that, but by the gods, is the post editor in this software a bug-ridden piece of rubbish.

    This is not the right forum: this post belongs in the "Workflow Help & Questions" forum. Furthermore, you haven't followed the instructions on reporting problems. Specifically: You wouldn't expect your mechanic to diagnose your engine trouble from a couple of photos of your car, so why do you expect us to do that for your workflow? Unless you've done something really obviously dumb, we can't help you.

    I did say the application bundle…
  15. deanishe
    Applications’ icons are in the application bundle. Usually in the Resources directory.

    exclude works fine with depth. depth=5 is in itself not ideal because you will end up searching a lot of directories. Try “*/node_modules/*”.
  17. deanishe
    depth=5 would be the obvious problem.
  18. deanishe
    I use Spotlight when I have no real idea where what I’m looking for is. Usually to search for some string within a non-text file.
  19. deanishe
    Your question isn't very clear. Are you asking how to make Alfred search your Outlook address book, not your Contacts address book?
  20. deanishe
    Cool. Seems like a handy trick.
  21. deanishe
    Try adjusting the sliders in Alfred's Snippets' configuration's "Tweaking" tab.
  22. deanishe
    Not a simple one, no. In all likelihood, that was a bug with Sierra rather than an intended feature.
  23. deanishe
    True to form, you haven’t thought this through. Firstly, everybody’s idea of what’s awesome is different. Or more precisely, their idea of what’s useful is very different. Not everyone uses the same software and services. Secondly, you have some very strange ideas about how workflows should be run, and it’s doubtful that many would want a copy of your prefs, where every workflow has had its keywords stripped, and can only be run via Hotkeys or some other application (using External Triggers).
  24. deanishe
    I think you should remove this check. The info.plist one should be sufficient. A lot of developers keep their workflow source code in ~/Code or similar and symlink the directory to Alfred's workflows folder. Also, the smart ones name the symlink (or indeed all their workflows' folders) after the bundle ID instead of using Alfred's meaningless, random folder names.

    It’s not anything Alfred is doing: Alfred simply asks the system to open the specified app. The normal behaviour is as you describe: if the app is already running, it merely activated. It actually takes additional effort to get two instances of an application to run. This is almost certainly an issue with the application, not Alfred.
