Great workflow, thanks. But TAB doesn't work for me also to browse/search within Smart Folders.

Very useful, thanks!

When I bring up a file in Alfred and select 'Copy To' and 'Move To' it always shows a couple of mounted .sparsebundle files at the top of the list, even though I never send files there. Is this a bug? If not how do I stop it from showing them at the top?

I'd also really like something like this. I use nvALT on the Mac and Byword on iOS (synced via Dropbox), but take notes a lot on my phone via Siri when driving, walking etc. as it's so easy. Would be great to be able to copy those notes over to the txt Notes folder on my Mac and/or Evernote. If it was possible maybe Hazel would be a better app to do this?

That's it! Works perfectly now, thanks!

Thanks for the help. I tried that (and a few variations of it), but unfortunately it still wouldn't work. It showed a message from Finder: Finder got an error: Can't set "Macmini:Desktop:" to POSIX file "/Users/Jono/Desktop/test_file.png".

I don't know much AppleScript and I'm trying to cobble together an action where I'd bring up a file in Alfred, Tab and select an action that would copy the selected file to the Desktop on another Mac on the network (it checks if the share is already mounted, and if not mounts it before copying the file over). I got the AppleScript to work in AppleScript Editor but am having trouble adapting it to work as an Alfred action. Here's the AppleScript that works in AppleScript Editor: -- Check the disk is mounted set myDisk to "Macmini" set mountedDisks to paragraphs of (do shell script "/bin/ls /Volumes") if myDisk is not in mountedDisks then mount volume "afp://Mac-mini.local/" & myDisk as user name "MYUSERNAME" with password "MYPASSWORD" end if tell application "Finder" set theFile to item 1 of (get selection) try duplicate theFile to "Macmini:Desktop:" with replacing on error errorMsg display alert errorMsg end try end tell For the Alfred action workflow I'm trying: on alfred_script(q) -- Check the disk is mounted set myDisk to "Macmini" set mountedDisks to paragraphs of (do shell script "/bin/ls /Volumes") if myDisk is not in mountedDisks then mount volume "afp://Mac-mini.local/" & myDisk as user name "MYUSERNAME" with password "MYPASSWORD" end if tell application "Finder" try duplicate q to "Macmini:Desktop:" with replacing on error errorMsg display alert errorMsg end try end tell end alfred_script I've tried it as /usr/bin/osascript and Run NSAppleScript without any luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Ah well, thanks for letting me know

Great workflow, thanks! Is there any way use the workflow from Alfred without it opening the Evernote app? (or is it unavoidable?)

Loving the 'Interacting with Open/Save dialogs - Part I' thing. Is it possible to make just this part into an Alfred action? For example, when at TextEdit's Open/Save dialog I find a folder in Alfred (not a recently used one), hit tab and select an action to send that folder location to TextEdit (or to any other app). Also, a Recent Images section would come in very handy in this workflow.

Very useful, thanks.

Very nice. Is there any way to add tasks without needing timed alerts? For example I have a 'Shopping' list in Reminders where I add items, but don't want alerts for them (I check them off as and when I buy them).

Thanks a lot

Thanks, it seems OK now

Is there a way for this to not open Chrome when running the workflow? I mainly use Safari and only occasionally use Chrome, so have it closed most of the time. Or if that's not possible just a workflow to search Safari tabs, without Chrome

Excellent, thanks.

I get the following error message when typing a query http://d.pr/i/6UVg

Thanks, so far working great!

Yea, I've noticed I'll wait patiently. Much appreciated in advance.

I have a few thousand bookmarks, so I guess it makes sense why it takes so long to refresh mine. So it would be ideal if it could auto refresh every now and then in the future.

…I keep forgetting to say. When I first use the workflow it takes about 20 seconds until it shows any results. If I do another search straight after the first one the results appear straight away. It feels as though if I haven't used the search for a while it has to load the database or something before it can show the search results. Does anyone else have this problem?

Thanks for the workaround. And I'll look forward to the 'proper' duplicate function in the future

I'm recreating quite a few keyword to AppleScript workflows from Alfred 1 that are all quite similar to each other. Is it possible to duplicate or export then import to speed up the process. I tried exporting and saving it as a different name to the one in Alfred but when importing it still said it was replacing the original workflow.

Great tip Oliver, thanks
