Ah thanks for spotting this - It used to work (with e.g. Open With) but looks like Yosemite doesn't include certain file metadata Alfred used for this anymore. I'm going to move this into bug reports and see what I can do...
 
Cheers,

Note: the original version of this workflow utilized an unofficial API that Google Translate exposed. Unfortunately, the Google has shut down the API. There is an alternative workflow that uses the official (paid) Google Translate API that you can find here: http://www.packal.org/workflow/translate-api. It's actually pretty cheap. 
 
Here's a little ditty that interfaces with Google Translate. The upside of this one is that it gives you access to all of Google Translate's languages (or at least about 80 of them). You can enable/disable languages from inside the workflow.
 
Find it on Packal.

Hi all!  I made a workflow for making changes in place to the selected text, via hotkeys.
 
I demo the main behaviors in a screencast here.
 
You can download this version of the workflow from dropbox here.  (I'll get its github repository up to date shortly.)
 
It requires python, but it's just using fairly standard modules: argparse, re, os, functools, and subprocess.
 
Thanks for your help, everybody!

The workflow takes the url of the active safari tab, and copies it to the clipboard.
If you want it also throws the the page title in there. 
If you have selected some text, it tries to recognize that and takes that instead of the page title. 
It also can directly paste that whole string.
 
That's it. Tremendously helpful for IM conversations or as a starting point for a Tweet.
 
I have bound it like this
 
CMD Option U to copy URL CMD Option Shift U to paste URL CMD Option K to copy Page Title and URL CMD Option Shift K to paste Page Title/Selected Text and URL  
Originally created by Michael Matochkin, I adapted the workflow over time and now publish it here. Original credits in the readme: Based on Alfred extensions by Luca Soldaini (original applescript by Dr. Drang) and Zibity
 
I've used an icon from the Stylistica Icon Set
 
That should cover it. And of course: here is the UPDATED workflow download link (see my latest comment for more info)

Hello,
 
Recently I've written a new workflow named 'LaTeX Symbols' !
It will help you looking for LaTeX symbol commands with ease.
 
It is quite similar to Detexify (http://detexify.kirelabs.org/symbols.html),
and the list of symbols are borrowed from @kirel's detexify.
   

 
You can download the workflow at https://github.com/wookayin/alfred-latex-symbols-workflow/releases or (Direct Download, v0.2)
or, browse the github repository: https://github.com/wookayin/alfred-latex-symbols-workflow
 
Please let me know if there is any bug or suggestions for improvement. You'll need a ruby installation.
 
Enjoy!

Search your tabs in Safari, Chrome, Chromium, Chrome Canary, and Webkit.



When you action a result, it'll bring your browser to the front and switch to the selected tab. You can also close a tab by holding down alt when actioning a result.

Updated Feb 8, 2014: Made it more resilient to an AppleScript error that could cause a blank output.
 
Update #2, Feb 1, 2014: Fixed regression with searching. You should be able to search anchored by words (and capital letters in CamelCase words) again.
 
Updated Feb 1, 2014: Rewrote the workflow. It now supports copying the URL of a tab, viewing a tab in QuickLook, and closing a tab with a modifier key.
 
Updated Oct 11, 2013: Fixed issue with improper string encoding in Mavericks and Ruby 2.0 breaking the workflow.
 
Updated Oct 9, 2013: Updated for Mavericks and Ruby 2.0.0. Removed thumbnails for now (beta versions of Safari don't seem to generate them anymore). Fixed some issues where the proper window wouldn't always focus correctly.
 
Updated May 4, 2013: Experimental support for webpage thumbnails. Prevent launching browsers when WebKit is open.

Updated Mar 26, 2013: (Hopefully) prevent launching browsers when it's not supposed to, and fix an issue with it not detecting WebKit.

Here's a simple workflow that lets you use Alfred Remote (https://itunes.apple.com/app/alfred-remote/id927944141) to control your powerpoint presentations.
 
Find it on Packal: http://www.packal.org/workflow/powerpoint-remote.
 
Note: you need Alfred 2.6 to use this workflow. If you install this workflow on a version previous to v2.6, then you'll need to reinstall it after you install 2.6 in order to have the remote page available.
 
 
The icons are a bit awkward, but here's a screenshot of the remote page.
 
 

Just added an option to copy the path(s) of the current document(s) or Finder item(s) as a properly encoded file url.
 

 
Also changed the hfs option to use '-hfs' (incl. the leading hyphen), and updated the icons.

Hi All,
 
 
I created three simple workflows to search for either Messages, Contacts or Events in Outlook for Mac.
 
The workflows are for Outlook 2011. They assume your identity is named Main Identity (I purposefully wanted to avoid searching backed-up identities, but the search scope can easily be edited).   The workflows are available here. (zipped archive)               Corentin    

The previously released menu search workflow has been universally panned due to the poor performance of the AppleScript that dumps menu contents. The caching of results worked very poorly as a stop-gap. So, I've re-written the menu extraction in Objective-C. It's much faster. The source is here: https://github.com/ctwise/alfred-workflows
 
You can download the workflow directly from http://tedwi.se/u/db
 
To recap, this workflow lets you trigger an application's menu's from Alfred. For example, if you're in iTerm and trigger Alfred, you can type 'm view' to get a list of all menu items with 'view' in the name or that belong to the 'view' menu. Selecting one of the entries triggers the corresponding menu entry in iTerm. In one sense it gives you a command-line to control your applications.
 
The workflow has the beginnings of shortcut key display as well but it's currently disabled due to numerous bugs.
 
Update: 
 
v1.3 - Provide error message when assistive devices isn't checked.
v1.2 - Skip the Safari History and Bookmarks menus. They take too long.
v1.1 - I fixed the bug with Alfred not remembering selections and added AlleyOop support. Download from the same link.
 
Requires OS/X 10.7+.
 
---
 
You need to turn on OS/X assistive device support to allow this workflow to operate. You can find the checkbox in Settings. The settings page looks very different in recent versions of OS/X but the wording for providing access for assistive devices is very similar no matter what OS/X version you're using. Here's an image of the settings from the latest version of Mountain Lion.
 

Version 1.5.0 is here.  Here are the improvements:
 
 
A checkmark appears on the icon when your regex is valid (correct syntax). Regex will not execute invalid regexs. It is…awesome.
 
You have full control to do custom regexing by opening the file at ~/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/Workflow Data/com.verykiwi.com/RegexSequences.pl. Your custom regexs remain even when updating Regex.
Quoted regexs (sq) can be saved.

Perform a search and replace on copied text, and save regexs for future use.
 
Download:

Please visit http://code.instructorium.com/regex for more information.  (also on Packal: http://www.packal.org/workflow/regex )  A summary is below:
 
 
 
Commands you can use:
 
1. Any regular expression (no keyword necessary, Perl-style) "s/this/that/msg" "s@\$(\d+)\.(\d{2})@$1 dollars and $2 cents@g", etc.
 

 
2. Follow your regular expression with " save as " and then a name in order to save it for future use. "s&this&that&xg save as mythisthat", etc.
 

 
3. Use the "regex" keyword followed by the name you saved it under to execute a saved regex. "regex mythisthat", etc.
 

 
As far as I know, it works on all versions of Alfred 2 and all versions of OS X.  Your custom workflows are saved under ~/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/workflows/com.verykiwi.regex/RegexSequences.pl.  You can delete the com.verykiwi.regex folder after uninstall.  Feel free to contact me if you have any issues.

Use the thesaurus service provided by words.bighugelabs.com to get synonyms and antonyms to words.

To set up, get an API key and set it in the Workflow Environment Variables.

You can then check for synonyms and antonyms by calling syn or ant followed by a space and the word you wish to check against.




Alternatively, select a word and press the shortcut you defined to get the results. Pressing ↵ on a word will paste it to the front most app, which is useful when writing a text and want to change a word in place.

If you want to use one of the results to refine your query, press ⌘↵ (synonyms for the word) or ⌥↵ (antonyms for the word).

Please, try this version.
 
Make sure you’re using Alfred 2.5 or later.
 
 
Sure, as soon as I have a new major and final version I’ll also update it there.
 
The latest version, with Yosemite initial support, is 8.9. You can download it here.

This is a safety feature of the underlying AppleScript which is doing the file move in Finder. I accept that this (and no notifications) isn't ideal and a complete overhaul of the file interactions is planned for a future version of Alfred.
 
Cheers,
Andrew
