Hi,

This workflow has obviously been done before, but there isn't anything on the gallery, so I thought I'd submit my own attempt.  This workflow simply flushes the DNS cache.

Here's the repository: https://github.com/boneskull/alfred-flush-dns

No dependencies.

Thanks!

Hi,

I have a smart playlist containing only songs which are rated 5 stars.  iTunes will "automatically rate" albums based on the average rating you've given the songs on it.  Somehow, non-rated songs from albums with automatic ratings are creeping into this playlist.  For example, if I have given a 5-star rating to song A on album X, then somehow unrated song B on album X will play.

I haven't been able to reproduce this consistently, but I'm definitely not able to reproduce this when starting my playlist via iTunes -- it only happens when I start playing my playlist through Alfred.

Alfred 3.4.1 860, macOS 10.12.6, iTunes 12.6.2.20

That did the trick, thanks!

Hi,

Alfred's iTunes integration isn't doing anything for me:

OK, so let's look...

You can see in this screencast that the "Find" button doesn't do anything.

I'll need to find that file myself.  The problem is it doesn't exist:

$ find ~ -name 'iTunes Library*'
/Users/boneskull/Music/iTunes/iTunes Library Extras.itdb
/Users/boneskull/Music/iTunes/iTunes Library Genius.itdb
/Users/boneskull/Music/iTunes/iTunes Library.itl

Of note, all of my music is in iTunes Match.

Is there some way to create this file?

- Mac OS 10.11.5 (15F34)

- Alfred 3.0.2 (676)

- iTunes 12.4.1.6

This seems to work, but not in a "set-it-and-forget-it" way:

sudo find /path/to/projects. -regex .*/node_modules$ -maxdepth 3 | xargs -I {} defaults write /path/to/.Spotlight-V100/VolumeConfiguration.plist Exclusions -array-add '{}'

I need to exclude a glob or regex; not just individual folders.

My use case:

I have a bunch of Node.js projects in a directory, e.g. /projects.

Each of these typically has a node_modules subfolder.

I want Alfred and/or Spotlight (I don't "use" Spotlight) to ignore everything in a node_modules folder.  It doesn't seem possible to do this via the Spotlight PrefPane.

Alternatively, if Alfred could "prioritize" matches whose path is closer to the root (/ or /projects), that may help.  As it stands, if I type a name of a package (e.g. mocha), I'm not guaranteed to see /projects/mocha; I may get /projects/foo/node_modules/mocha.  There are tens, if not hundreds of results.

Any ideas?  I wonder if I can use mdutil or something to blacklist node_modules...

I've also had this issue.  Trying the new build.

I was sitting there in iTerm thinking "wouldn't it be great if I could talk to Alfred directly from the terminal"?  bash completion, etc.

I'm not sure how to get this done; I was hoping for some guidance by the authors.  

Alfred's AppleScript library only exposes a few functions.  If I wanted to use completion, I'd need a list of all of its keywords.

However, if that list existed, I'm sure I could work something out.  It'd be pretty awesome.

Andrew, thanks for the help.  I tried deleting ~/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari but it didn't seem to make a difference.  Trying to rebuild the spotlight data now; I'll let you know if it works.

Hi,

I've configured Alfred to search for my Safari bookmarks; however, none are ever shown.  I don't recall this ever working for me.  Could this be a permissions or privacy/security issue?  Running "repair disk permissions" in Disk Utility.app does nothing.

Here's a screenshot of my preferences.

Here's a movie of the behavior.

Other relevant data:

• MacOS X 10.10.3
• Alfred v2.7 (385)

thanks,

Chris

The Readme workflow opens the README.md of any npm module within its associated application.  This is generally a Markdown file, so you will want a Markdown viewer.  I use Marked 2.  Here's a list of Markdown-related applications.

This is incredibly handy if you're working with a lot of npm modules; I use it constantly--especially when fussing with a bunch of Grunt tasks.  

For the curious, it works by simply asking npm for the "readme" data of a module, saves it to a temp file, then opens it.  

Known Issues:  

• No feedback if it can't find the module you're looking for.
• No autocompletion

Current Version: v1.0
