But why are you using a File Filter and a Launch Apps / Files if you’re always opening the same file in the same application? Just connect a Keyword Action to the Open File.

Vitor,

Thanks so much for getting back to me.  I did some more digging on the Alfred website and found my answer here: https://www.alfredapp.com/blog/tips-and-tricks/start-your-day-workflow/

I just built that workflow and modified as I went along. Done!

Sorry for the 'newb' question.  I've actually been using Alfred a while but am just now trying to get into some more intricate uses with it.

Side question: Are there video tutorials?

Thanks again

I'm just trying to create a simple workflow that will open a template when I type in the word 'sphere''.

Thought I had it figured out but when I type it into Alfred, nothing happens.

Here are some screenshots of the main workflow modules and when I open them up.

I'm trying to open a template that's specific to the application Reaper

Thanks for any input here.

Might be beyond the scope of Alfred but here it goes...

Can Alfred eject a hard drive when a specific application is closed?

I'm sure there's an AppleScript out there to do that but thought I'd try the Aflred Route first.

Thanks!

Any thoughts?

Pages 7.0.1.  I'll hit 'command+b' to enact the bold and then the text expander snippet (;bo for the 'Best of' text) but it won't BOLD the text.

Snippets are plain text, ensuring that the text you paste always matches the style of the destination. It's not possible to add formatting to them.

Hey Vero.  I've noticed that my snippets are not matching the style of the destination. For instance, I'll paste into a 'bold' formatting yet the snippet will unravel in NON-bold.

Thanks @Vero but I"m not seeing the "Show files marked as System File" box.

I added it but it's not showing up when I type in the file's name: "Nectar-Home Voiceover"

How do I tell Alfred to look for a file in my 'Library' folder?

There's a template for an app I'd like it to see but it resides in user---library---application support---app name

Thanks

@lazermoose Alfred doesn't have a mechanism to watch for new mail, and this sound isn't part of Alfred's sound bank, so unless you have installed a workflow doing something very specialised, this isn't coming from Alfred.

okay, good to know. Thanks Andrew

Does Alfred have an email notification sound setting?

I keep getting a sound when I get a new email and the developer of the mail app I use (MailMate) and can't seem to locate where it's coming from.

All notifying sounds in MailMate have been disabled and the sound keeps coming. It even happens when Mailmate is closed.

I've tried Soundbunny but it shows nothing when the sound occurs.

link to the sound is here

Hey Deanishe,

Sorry for the delayed response. I'm looking to do a few tags.  Such as 'trailer', 'soft', 'hardsell', 'announcery' 

Would this be possible?

They can both be done, but Alfred can't do it natively. Also, Alfred doesn't do anything "automatically". You have to tell it to do something. That's the way it's designed.

 

Again, if you can be more concrete about what you want to do and how, I can perhaps give you a concrete solution.

I'd like to, for instance, be able to name the file 'FileA' and with a keystroke (let's say Command-2) I can add the tag to the file of 'raspy' or 'lighthearted' or 'dark' or 'movie trailer', etc.

Does that clear things up a bit?

A tag or ID3 tag would be fine.  Is there a way to do either?

Forgive me if this is a stupid question but I perused the help me stuff and didn't see an answer for this...

Is it possible to add data or metadata to a file as I'm saving it?

I do voiceover work so I'm auditioning a lot and I'd like to be able to mark some auditions (mp3) I send out for future use.

My perfect world situation would be to create a file, name it 'FileA' for the audition file but as I'm saving it insert a trigger letter/symbol that would add more information (such as 'Great Read') TO THAT FILE so that I can find it later.

Is this possible with Alfred?

Could you please update to the latest pre-release (3.1.1) in Alfred's Update preferences? Once you've updated, go to the Snippets preferences, click the cog in the top right and, under Tweaking, check the box to slow down simulated key events.

 

Let me know how you get on

 

Cheers,
Vero

Works! Thank you Vero!

Quick question. Is it possible to do snippets with formatting? (Bold, italics, etc.)

Thanks again

How do I update to a pre-release? I am at 3.1 and it tells me I have the latest.

Was excited because it actually worked but excitement was quickly dashed (about 5 minutes later) when I tried the exact same snippet in same document and it DIDN'T work.

Do I need to fill out a support ticket?

switched over to different user, activated power pack, created a snippet, opened Pages '09 and the snippet did NOT work.

hmmm

 

If you manually copy and paste something using Cmd + V in the app, does it paste as expected?

 

Do you use any other clipboard/snippet managers or keyboard modifying apps?

 

Also, if you create a second user profile on your Mac temporarily with nothing else installed, then follow the same steps, are you able to paste normally?

 

Cheers,

Vero

 

It pastes as expected.

I don't use any other clipboard/snippet managers. HOWEVER, I have been using Text Expander but closed it down while experiencing this problem.

How do I create a second profile (user?) that can access Aflred 3 with the power pack?

haven't changed the Cmd+V paste command

help?

Is Alfred snippets buggy with the Pages '09 version? 

PS...I'm trying to embed a screen recording I did but can't find the right button here. Any ideas?

recording here https://www.dropbox.com/s/zzu19umqtybqj2n/screenrecord-alfred%20snippet.mov?dl=0

BUT. I noticed that some of them don't work in Pages '09 (version 4.3). Anyone have any idea why?

They were imported but only a few seem to be working.

FIGURED IT OUT.  Looks like 'keywords' have to be lowercase.  The ones that weren't working were ALL CAPS.  Fixed!

I'm a regular Sherlock Holmes over here!
