Add 2 or more items to buffer; action buffer 'Drag' an icon from the right side of the window to any other point. The window will move, but the popover for that icon does not disappear. When 'dragging' the buffer icons from Alfred's main search area, the window does not move and the popover disappears. Here's what it looks like: Alfred 2.0.5 (202) on OS X 10.8.4 (12E55). Replicated: yes

You could use a 'Large Type' output at the end of the workflow Cheers

This would be really cool. I often find myself wishing the Buffer were more flexible and easy to use. Right now, it only holds files; however, many workflows return non-file results that could be processed in batch. Example use: Alleyoop by Daniel Shannon. Say I want to update all the workflows except for one that I know introduced a nasty bug in the latest update; instead of activating each update individually (calling Alfred and waiting for Alleyoop every time), I simply add the desired updates to my Buffer, action the Buffer, and choose the 'Update workflows' option. A feature like this has a lot of potential, both for developers and end users. Cheers

How about changing the hotkey settings? Maybe set the Cursor option to 'Left', which will allow you to type at the beginning of the line. Then you can just type the keyword you want and maybe press space to activate. Cheers

You should probably look into Script Filters; check out David Ferguson's post on script filter feedback for more detail. Cheers

Have you tried following the steps in 'Why isn't Alfred finding the files I'm looking for?' from Alfred Support? Have you tried to force a Spotlight reindex? You may also check out the 'Not Finding Applications' thread on the Discussions and Help forum Cheers, and I hope your issue is resolved quickly

To put the current answer into Alfred's search, try typing an '=' at the end of your calculation (e.g. '42/7=' or '=sin(60)=' for the advanced calculator) I do like the parentheses idea, though. I hate moving my cursor just to wrap in parentheses. +1 for a smarter parser Cheers

I think your Download link is incorrect It should probably be https://github.com/skyzyx/redbox.alfredworkflow/raw/master/redbox.alfredworkflow Cheers

I helped another user to post screenshots; maybe that will help? I know I'm having trouble following what's going on Here's the link: http://www.alfredforum.com/topic/2529-need-to-be-able-to-put-screenshots-in-questionsanswers/?p=14644 Cheers

If you want to email the Alfred Developers, send an email to info @ alfredapp com In the meantime, maybe you should just use the browser extensions for 1Password. If worse comes to worse, you could also just open the 1Password app and copy & paste from 1Password into your browser. Cheers

You might be interested in this feature request. It describes 'scoped' workflows, that are only activated when certain apps are frontmost. Cheers

+1 Alfred could really outshine the competition with context-aware workflows

I can confirm this. In my testing, the shortcuts seem to respect the initial array of shortcuts; for example, given the /Library folder: ⌘1—9 will navigate to Application Support—Compositions. On ⌫, ⌘1—9 will maintain their original assignments (Application—Compositions), even though the window now shows different hotkeys for folders in /Library. They will not update to the current view, even when arrowing/scrolling/mousing through results. Alfred 2.0.5 (202) on OS X 10.8.4 (12E55). Replicated: yes

+1, I'd love to see this functionality Two usage examples: Top Processes by zhaowu. Activity Monitor has live information; I rarely use the workflow because I want to know when the process in question starts to settle down as it happens Wolfram|Alpha by Tyler Eich. Many users have complained about how long it takes Wolfram|Alpha to respond as they type; if the workflow could let the user know that the script is still working as it provides the last set of results, it could save a few confused users. There are many factors to consider with this behavior, though. What can be 'updated'? Everything (arg, title, subtitle, icon, autocomplete, valid)? Can order of results be changed? Maybe a manual 'disable' button for Alfred's intelligent sorting? Is selection maintained after the update?

I like this idea a lot Say I have a workflow that only interfaces with certain applications (e.g. browsers); instead of getting frustrated with code that checks which app is in the foreground, Alfred automatically blocks or allows my workflow's hotkeys based on which app he detects is frontmost. This concept could be extended to any input (hotkeys, keywords, script filters, file filters, etc.). Say you have several script filters, each with the keyword 'tabs'; one filter's scope is 'Safari' & 'Webkit', another's is 'Chrome' & 'Chrome Canary' & 'Chromium', and another's is 'Camino'. When Chrome is active, typing 'tabs' into Alfred launches only the code necessary to get Chrome's tabs; when in Safari, a different code base is used. Scoping could be applied to an entire workflow or individual objects Context-aware workflows would be incredibly powerful and extend Alfred's intelligence +1 for this idea (if you couldn't tell from my comments )

Several workflows check which apps are running before continuing execution. It would be incredibly handy if this information was readily available via a {running} token (or something similar). This would be faster, more reliable, and more convenient than digging through a list of running processes. Cheers

{query} should be "{query}" or '{query}'; otherwise Python won't interpret it as a string Cheers

Andrew's already got you covered In Alfred Preferences, go to Appearance > Options > How he looks > Hide menu bar icon. See here: Cheers

You might also like my Native theme; looks pretty similar to this one Cheers

I think Alfred initializes the alfred_script(q) handler using whatever is passed to the NSAppleScript object. Kind of like this: # What Alfred's Doing alfred_script("Selection in OS X") # Alfred's handler, found in the NSAppleScript object on alfred_script(q) display dialog q end alfred_script So q is assigned to "Selection in OS X" If you wanted to activate the code outside of Alfred, you would have to call the handler manually and provide some value: (* Given this Handler... *) on alfred_script(q) display dialog q end alfred_script (* ...this would work... *) alfred_script("RED ALERT!") (* ...or this would work... *) set some_text to "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet" alfred_script(some_text) (* ...or even this *) alfred_script("Hello" & space & "World") As for iterating over a list of files, I can't think of a better method (with AppleScript). AppleScript is great for a lot of things, but it's features/syntax are kind of odd .

Of course; variable names are irrelevant Just make sure your alfred_script(variable) matches the variable you use in your script. For example, if you used alfred_script(query), make sure you put query everywhere you want the passed text (like 'Selection in OS X') Examples: on alfred_script(q) display dialog q end alfred_script on alfred_script(query) display dialog query end alfred_script on alfred_script(your_variable_name) display dialog your_variable_name end alfred_script Cheers

"{query}" doesnt work in an NSApplescript; the q variable (alfred_script(q)) is what you use. Try replacing "{query}" with q (no quotes). Cheers

On opening the Alfred Preferences and editing a 'File Filter' object's 'Advanced' fields: Press [+] button Select 'Other...' Hit the [–] button before exiting text field Add more fields (any of them) Next item will be blank Next item will have display problems when field view is scrollable This only seems to happen on the first edit after launching Alfred Preferences. Subsequent edits within the open Preferences do not glitch.
