  1. Hi. I love the merging feature for Clipboard, but dammit if I don't keep accidentally double-tapping C and appending the selected text to the clipboard history, when I don't mean to. I disable the feature as a result of this, and I'm sure I'm not alone in encountering this problem. REQUEST: I'd love to be given the ability to change 'Append Text' to activate upon a triple-click instead.
  2. Just to confirm - this seems to have resolved it. Appreciate all the help.
  3. I don't want to speak too soon, but I created a completely new workflow and for some reason this one appears to be working as expected. I'll keep an eye on it but I'm quite hopeful this will work. I'll give it a couple of days - if there are any issues I'll reset my syncing prefs and get back to you. Thanks for your suggestions and support đź‘Ť
  4. > If you create a new user account on your Mac temporarily, does it still happen on the new one? Seemingly not! To clarify: I created a new account on the Mac, opened AlfredApp & activated the power pac,k but I couldn't access my normal AlfredApp backup folder (it's in Dropbox on the other account) so I created a brand new workflow instead, and that worked. As mentioned, creating a new workflow under my normal account account failed), so I doubt that's the difference. So I'm guessing you have a cause in mind?
  5. Thanks @vitor > To latch a result to the top, select it a bunch of times in a row and for the same keyword. I know it should, but unfortunately it no longer does. I know I only showed single selections in the video (I meant to show the result of multiple as well like I had described in the text). Check it out: you can see it works for the Pages file and the folder, but never for the Workflow, even when I select it repeatedly: https://www.dropbox.com/s/7i6v29zmvnhdmn9/AlrefApp-Latch2.mp4?dl=0 >As to your second issue, you forgot to set the Keyword Ha, yes, I did catch that shortly before posting, and mentioned it above - thanks. I think I was overtired by the time I got around to posting It's worth noting that the same 'latching' issue is present in the test workflow as well. So the issue doesn't appear to be related to a corrupt workflow.
  6. Mac M1 | Monterey 12.4 | Alfred 4.6.7 [1305] & Alfred 5.0.0-EA7_2043 I've uploaded a video to Dropbox - it's much easier & quicker to understand the issue that way: VIDEO IS HERE (you'll need to force a higher 'quality' on Dropbox to see it properly). Please excuse the end part about new workflows - that was an oversight on my part. However, the same 'latching' issue is present in the test workflow. It is also present in Alfred 5. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Original Post ISSUE OVERVIEW: I've been using a simple workflow for years; it opens Gmail in a specific browser. AlfredApp always used to keep my Gmail Workflow at the top of the results list. However, after selecting a different result once, AlfredApp refused to put the Gmail workflow back at the top of the list no matter what I did. Pressing 'Clear Knowledge' on the global page didn't fix the issue properly (as described below), and a bit of testing seems to show this issue is specifically related to it being a workflow (other file types respond as expected). DESCRIPTION: Previously I would invoke my 'Gmail' workflow using 'gm'. Even if I then selected another result using 'gm' (e.g. 'Gm chord variations') my Gmail option would remain at the top of the list (or at least work it's way back to the top - I forget which). However, the other day I typed in 'gm' and selected something else, and AlfredApp kept putting that at the top of my list. Even when I repeatedly typed in 'gm' and selected the Gmail workflow, the other selection would keep appearing at the top of the results list. It seems that AlfredApp responds as expected with other filetypes like folders and contacts, but not with the workflow. The workflow remains below any other filetypes that have been selected rather than rising to the top again. NOTE: I've included a screenshot of my workflow below. It's actually one workflow that contains a bunch of keyword triggers for opening web pages (you can see the Gmail option highlighted - 'gmail' is the keyword trigger). It has been working well and as-desired for years. TO REPLICATE: Select 'clear knowledge' on global page to clear the history. Invoke AlfredApp and enter 'gm' Select the Gmail workflow from the list Repeat step 2 and the Gmail workflow appears at the top of the list each time AS EXPECTED Invoke AlfredApp and enter 'gm' Select 'Gm__Synth_' folder Repeat step 2, and 'Gm__Synth_' appears at the top of the list each time AS EXPECTED Invoke AlfredApp and enter 'gm' Select the Gmail workflow from the list Repeat step 2, and 'Gm__Synth_' STILL appears at the top of the list each time NOT AS EXPECTED. GMAIL WORKLFLOW WAS THE LAST THING SELECTED AND SHOULD APPEAR AT THE TOP OF THE LIST ATTEMPTED FIXES: Clear Knowledge (doesn't work - see above) Alfred 5.0.0-EA7_2043 (doesn't work. Issue persists) Clear Application Cache (doesn't work) Rebuild macOS Data (doesn't work)
  7. I don't mind that as an answer at all. I saw it was available and was wondering! Appreciated
  8. Hi, is there a workflow that can transform uppercase text to lower case text? Thanks.
  9. Doh! Ha ha, sorry, mind is half on something else! I made the assumption and didn't even check Ah, useful to know Thanks for the help!
  10. Hi deanishe, really appreciate the reply! Great explanation. Just have a few related questions if that's okay? 1. Above, Katie said she was able to create .doc and .docx files - from what you've said I'm guessing she was mistaken & probably, like me, she had created something that wasn't really a valid file? 2. So the options for your Workflow are .txt or .csv (anything else?) 3. There was the other extension you linked to a while ago - it claimed to allowed the creation of .rtf files in the same way as you allow creation of .txt files - and I'm wondering if it's been removed because it didn't work, or whether the creator was using a workaround of sorts? If it's the latter, any plans to add it in? Creating .rtf on the fly is actually all I was looking for - but at least now, thanks to your explanation I understand why it hasn't been easy to find such a workflow
  11. Hi. Thanks for the workflow. Sounds like this workflow now supports more than just .txt - I wondered what they were? (the link you gave above, to the other Workflow that supported .rtf is now dead so hoping it should support that) I'm on a Mac - High Sierra & it seems I can only create .txt files. Each file appears to be created but I get an error when trying to open them (below are a list of those errors). I wasn't really expecting .pages files to be included, but I pages usually has no problem opening up .doc files. RTF - The document “ddd.rtf” could not be opened. DOC - “bbb.doc” can’t be opened right now. (Pages couldn't read the file) PAGES - “ccc.pages” is damaged and can’t be opened. Hope this is helpful.
  12. Tyler, thanks so much, works for me too. I'd stopped using this workflow because I had a bunch of non-existent folders coming up after a reorganisation . The addition of the dedicated "Remove From Favourites" option is also welcomed! The 'faves' keyword is less likely to bring up a bunch of other app folders than 'favorites' (i.e. Adobe core folders etc) but of course that's easy enough to change ourselves
