Which version of macOS are you on? On Sonoma, when I attempted to use the workflow, I was shown this permission dialog and accepted the request, and it worked fine. Perhaps there's a permission issue?

Eject All command doesn't recognize external SSDs
Chris Messina replied to Chris Messina's topic in Closed
Ah ok — will try that out. I didn't realize those options existed! Two suggestions: 1. Add a keyboard modifier for ⌘ when an "Eject" command is chosen to edit the preferences (to make these options more discoverable — similar to holding ⌘ when viewing a snippet). 2. Perhaps unnecessary, but I'm not sure you need to mention DVDs? When was the last time Apple shipped a computer with a DVD drive? Similarly, are "USB flash drives" different than "external USB drives"? Just seems like this copy could be modernized/updated/clarified. -
I know that the latest version of Alfred has a new ejection framework, but it's not working for me. I'm on Alfred 5.1 Build 2134. Here's what Alfred sees: Here's what's in Finder — BunnyCrunch is an external Samsung SSD. In fact, none of my SSDs, which are connected by USB-C, seem to be detected by Alfred.

As seen in Alfred 5.1 [2133], some workflows that have long descriptions and options (e.g. ChatFred) cause text to not wrap or be cut off:

The Alfred Gallery is such a significant update to the Alfred Ecosystem — but it seems like the benefit of maintaining and keeping Workflows up to date still isn't sufficiently supported in the Workflows area. At a minimum, it seems like the number of available updates should be made more visible in the default options: Additionally, when there is >1 update and a group of Workflows are selected, it would be nice if it were possible to batch update them from their context menu: No doubt there might be other ways to improve Workflow updates, but these two stood out to me.

Awesome, thanks! Want to share a screenshot of your tweaks?

Nice to see Alfred cited as an influence on Arc Browser

Oh nice! Glad to see it! -
Workflow to search Arc Browser history?
Chris Messina replied to Ernest316's topic in Workflow Help & Questions
Now that Arc has a richer Applescript featureset, I have submitted a feature request for that Workflow. -
alfred gallery Alfred Gallery — for Themes?
Chris Messina replied to Chris Messina's topic in Alfred Feature Suggestions
Ok, good to hear. Would be absolutely stoked if Alfred supported a more capable theming system — and that the new Alfred Gallery for Themes could be the place for such themes to be distributed. But I understand that may be a low priority for you. I like the themes I've created, but there are so many launchers now that have really pushed the UI design boundaries that it'd be great for Alfred to provide more support for our community's visual design creativity! -
Not sure if this feedback is for @Mr Pennyworth specifically, but he's mixed HTML and Markdown in his Cleanshot Workflow readme, which appears incorrectly in Alfred. Given that self-hosted Workflows will appear in the Gallery, I wonder if there should be either greater guidelines/requirements for the legibility of readme files or some other way to improve the appearance of this kind of documentation, like more Markdown support in Alfred's processor? Here's how it looks on Github:

alfred gallery Alfred Gallery — for Themes?
Chris Messina posted a topic in Alfred Feature Suggestions
Now that the Alfred Gallery is live in Early Access, can I presume (hope?) that there will be a section dedicated to sharing Themes? -
shell script Help with .lzfse Workflow?
Chris Messina replied to Chris Messina's topic in Discussion & Help
Here's the Workflow in case this helps: https://github.com/chrismessina/alfred-lzfse-toolkit -
I've created a Workflow to extract the contents of .lzfse files, however I need help: getting the original file extension of the compressed file appending it to the extracted file bonus: prettify and sort the contents of any .json files Here's my script (/bin/zsh) so far: # filepaths from ARGV for file in $@; do # Extract the filename without the extension filename=${file%.lzfse} # Extract the contents of the lzfse file lzfse -decode -i "$file" -o "$filename" done For the JSON transformation, I typically open the file in Atom (RIP) and run the "JSONify JavaScript Object Literal and Sort and Prettify" command in the Pretty JSON package, and then open the results in TextBuddy to Sort Ascending (Ignoring Case). I'd love to be able to use a Universal Action to do all of this!

Yes — but you'll need to toggle your system setting to Light or Dark mode and then update Alfred's theme to whichever theme you want for that mode. Not super intuitive — but it works!
-
I've noticed this a few times, but just reporting now. It appears that if my system theme changes to Dark Mode and then I activate Alfred Universal Actions using a hotkey (rather than activating the Alfred command palette), the Universal Actions palette doesn't update to Dark Mode. If I dismiss this UI and then activate Universal Actions again, the correct theme will be applied.

I often use the Eject All command to eject my external SSDs. However, after updating to macOS Ventura 13.0.1 (22A400) and running Alfred 5.0.5 (Build 2096), when I use the command, I get errors for many more disks, many of which probably shouldn't be ejected, including my startup disk! Did something change?

alfred5 What is the "v5 Corporate Powerpack"? 👀
Chris Messina replied to Chris Messina's topic in Discussion & Help
Got it — yes, a blog post on how teams are using Alfred private would be super useful!
