Jono

I've used Karabiner Elements in the past, as well as BTT but for some reason the Hyper Key was always buggy (hit and miss) with them.

Just tried this and it works a charm, thanks!

I don't have folders set to be shown in default search results, but they still show up.

I have 3 Macs running the latest Alfred 4.5 beta and 1 Mac running 4.3.4, and I get the same thing across all of the Macs. Is there something I can do to stop this? 🤔

You may find this conversation relevant.

It is, thanks!

Yeah, it wouldn't be too difficult to 'fill in the gaps' where SF Symbols don't cover every existing Alfred icon.

Yeah, I’ve never liked these. They don’t look too ‘Mac like’, and they’re also looking dated. 
 

I think it would look much better if they used the SF Symbol icons. They would already cover most of what Alfred needs, and look more in keeping with Big Sur.

@Jono Under Appearance > Options, you can decide when the subtext should appear. If you don't want the subtext, you can remove it (though I'm not sure I'd recommend it as, when searching for folders or files, it gives valuable context)

Thanks, I realise that.

I currently have it set to only show subtext for the selected result. I find it useful for folders as I sometimes have folders named exactly the same (or very similar), but as I said previously I don't really need to see the full path to apps, or their extension 🙂

For applications it currently shows the path (and .app extension) in Alfred results

I never need (or want) to display this.

How about an option to just show it's an app? And also, seeing as horizontal space is at a premium, display it to the right (similar to Spotlight) rather than underneath?

I control a few things in Home Assistant via Alfred.

All I did was to create some webhooks in Home Assistant, then use scripts in Alfred to call those webhooks 👍

Nope, afraid not. But I'm trying to persuade @Andrew to add support for showing custom file icons instead of the filetype icons, which would open the door to exporting your bookmarks as .webloc or .url files with whatever icons you like.

Actually, it would be great if there was just an option to show the bookmark icon of your default browser, like it does in Spotlight 🙂

There are a bunch of icons in the scripts subdirectory for the workflow actions. The workflow doesn't generate or cache any icons, though, so they should all be in the workflow folder.

Thanks, I'll have a look there too 👍

Totally broken, or just a bit? (Not that I plan on resurrecting the workflow unless Apple uncripples Safari's extension APIs.)

No, not totally broken. It works but even though I replaced the icons it still showed the old ones. I guess I need to dig a little deeper to make sure I 'got 'em all'!

That would be SOOoo much better! Pretty please @Andrew! 😃 

…so a year later and the Safari Assistant workflow doesn't work for me anymore 🙁

I don't suppose anything's changed in Alfred that allows changing the default bookmark icon, is there? 🤔

OK, thanks @Andrew!

I'm wondering if what I'm wanting to achieve is possible 🤔

Here's my current theme

I was wanting to make the horizontal line at the top (just under the search field) a different opacity to all the others below it, and also full width like Spotlight.

Is that possible?

…also, the background colour for the selected text seems pretty high at the top. Is there any way to reduce that? 🙂

Great, thanks a lot! 🙂

Those variables only exist in your script. Use echo to send text to a notification: echo "${fileName}"

Ah, right. Where should 'echo "${fileName}"' go in the script? At the end after 'done'? And I should still add {query} in the notification?

I've tried it in various places in the script, but it either shows the filename along with the full path of the input and output, or just shows the full path of the input and output (no filename on it's own) 😐

for theFile in $@; do

Make it

for theFile in "$@"; do

Or arguments may re-split on spaces. Even if Alfred takes that into account, it’s a good idea to do so anyway.

outputFile=$"$HOME/Desktop/$fileName.jpg"

What’s the first $ for? And use curly braces around variables; from all the places in the script, those are the most relevant.

Also, I recommend you use the long form of flags in scripts (s → --setProperty), as you’ll understand them better later on.

outputFile="${HOME}/Desktop/${fileName}.jpg"

Finally, note that with the current implementation you may be overwriting files, which you likely want to avoid.

for theFile in "${@}"; do
  fileName="$(basename "${theFile%.*}")"
  saveDir="${HOME}/Desktop"

  outputFile="$([[ -f "${saveDir}/${fileName}.jpg" ]] && echo "${saveDir}/${fileName}-${RANDOM}.jpg" || echo "${saveDir}/${fileName}.jpg")"

  sips --setProperty format jpeg --setProperty formatOptions 100 "${theFile}" --out "${outputFile}"
  open -a ImageOptim "${outputFile}"
done

 

That works, thanks a lot! 🙂

Thanks, this works on images without a space in the filename, but not with spaces in the filename.

Could that be something to do with the line above it?

theFile="${1}"

Also, I wanted to show the name of the image in a notification. I tried {query} but that shows the full path to the original image, and also tried ${fileName} (and variations of it) but that didn't work either. How would I do that?

I don't know much at all about shell scripting, but I managed to cobble together a workflow that actually works.

theFile="{query}"

theImage=$(basename "${theFile}")
fileName="${theImage%.*}"
outputFile=$"$HOME/Desktop/$fileName.jpg"

sips -s format jpeg -s formatOptions 100 "${theFile}" --out "${outputFile}"
open -a ImageOptim "${outputFile}"

I'm using it as a File Action, so select a PNG image, run the workflow and it converts it to JPG, then runs it though ImageOptim.

This works when selecting single images. but doesn't work if I pass it multiple PNGs. In the File Action part of the workflow I checked 'Accept multiple files', so I'm guessing I need to alter the script to make it work? In the Run Script part of the workflow I tried it with 'running instances' set to Sequentially and then Concurrently, but that didn't make any difference.

Also, I wanted to show the name of the image in a notification. I tried {query} but that shows the full path to the original image, and also tried ${fileName} (and variations of it) but that didn't work either.

Any help would be appreciated 🙂

I also do this with a few different app's libraries/settings via the Synology Drive client 👍

Hah, maybe I will in the future! 😃

Good idea, I've removed some of the keywords.

…and yeah, I'll actually use quite a few functions of the workflow, not just regular bookmarks 😃

I was trying to strip out parts of the workflow that I didn't want. I guess I 'stripped out' too much 😊

Oh, hang on

…user error, sorry!

@deanishe …I guess I spoke too soon. Once I select a bookmark in Alfred and hit Return to open it nothing happens 😊

Any idea why that could be?
