    Ah, there is a known issue with the eye dropper. You can see it on Github.

    You can't get the color panel to open? Packal does host the latest version…do you have any logs in Console.app related to "Colors.app"?

    I think he means e.g. left Cmd vs. right Cmd

    To any who may be interested: Percentage calculator workflow Type "100 + 10%", get "110" as the output. It emulates the behavior of a 4-function pocket calculator. Enjoy

    This is a totally cosmetic issue (I'm almost embarrassed to submit it. Almost.), but three successive periods is actually an ellipsis, so an ellipsis should be used in its place. Above: custom calculator using ellipsis Below: default calculator using three periods

    You can use the built-in Web Search feature to load a website when you type in a keyword. For example, you could create an entry that opens 'https://www.facebook.com' when you type 'facebook'. More information on Web Search features in Alfred v2 I don't know of any way to filter bookmarks by folder in Alfred's default interface. This may be possible for a workflow, but I don't know much about Safari's bookmark system…

    You just blew my mind. As far as I know, there is no way to return to the original combined list of snippets and clipboard history once you choose "All Snippets". I do think this should be allowed. The key to do it should be 'Esc', just like the File Actions panel.

    Dragging and dropping is how you rearrange workflow objects. If it's not working for you, something is wrong on your system (I just checked; it works on my end) Are there any warnings or errors from Alfred in the Console.app?

    Glad you like it I plan to add Swift support at some point; good to hear someone's interested it having it

    The % operator means "remainder" in GCMathParser (and in many programming languages). So 7 % 3 = 1, because 7 divided by 3 is 2 *remainder 1*. 10 % 10 is actually 0, because 10 divides into 10 once with *no remainder*. Try typing "7 % 3" into Google; you should see the same result Alfred gives you. I might also note: few computer languages have an operator for percentages, just because its so simple to do with division (divide by 100, multiply by percentage) Hope this helps

    As far as I know, there are ways to do this. An instance of NSWindow can be placed in a layer higher than NSNormalWindowLevel (the default), like NSFloatingWindowLevel. The only hurdle is deciding which level to put the window on. There are higher levels than NSFloatingWindow, so other apps who have used these levels will be above Alfred. https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/WinPanel/Concepts/WindowLevel.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20000227-BAJDJEDA

    I think a {selection} token, used like {query}, would be a better solution. Internally, Alfred captures the selected text on opening and passes the text of the cached selection to instances of {selection}. Then the original clipboard should be preserved to prevent confusion for other apps that depend on the clipboard (like MenuClip). Alfred has had to deal with other apps that hijack the clipboard; it seems silly to do implement a similar behavior into Alfred himself… Please correct me if I'm misunderstanding the technical details

    Sorry, but v1.41 is not under active development, so any existing bugs will remain unfixed. If you'd like to update to the latest version, please download and reinstall the workflow from Packal Thanks for pointing this out! It seems that OS X is taking focus away from the color picker after sampling the screen color. I've programmed the color picker to terminate when focus is lost, which causes this behavior. I'll see what I can do

    In my mind, a better (and additional) solution would be to allow object labels. Developers could use this feature to 'comment' their workflows and would help when dealing with especially intricate connections and in workflows with many similar objects.

    What features are you having issues with? It still works on my end… Running Alfred 2 v2.5.1 (306) on Mac OS X 10.10 (14A389)
  16. Tyler Eich
    A big +1. For me, this is the only glaring omission in Alfred's Quicklook implementation

    Just so you know, I'm investigating this issue. For some ungodly reason, Colors isn't compiling at all with Xcode 6, so I'm having a rather difficult time debugging the code. I'll try to fix this (and a few other lingering bugs/annoyances) before too long!

    You might try using a workflow I made to reindex your external drives: Download Open Alfred, type "force reindex ", then choose the drive that's giving you problems. Once you hit enter, AppleScript will ask for your administrator password. It will then execute the following commands (used by Andrew and found originally at SkillZ Design, before Alfred's handy "Rebuild OS X Metadata" button appeared) : sudo rm -R /Volumes/{Drive Name}/.Spotlight-V100 sudo mdutil -i on /Volumes/{Drive Name}/ sudo mdutil -E /Volumes/{Drive Name}/ This will delete the existing metadata index on the drive and force mdutil (Spotlight's backend) to rebuild the metadata. Note that reindexing can take a significant amount of CPU power and several hours.
  20. Tyler Eich
    Hmmm… This sounds like a metadata problem. Is your external drive formatted as "Mac OS Extended"? You can find this out by right clicking the drive in Finder, choosing "Get Info", and looking for the "Format" entry. If this isn't the problem, I can't be of much help . Maybe another forum member will have something better to say.

    The easiest way to do this is to add the folders in question to Spotlight's Privacy tab. I've answered a question similar to this in the past; it might help you in this scenario too http://www.alfredforum.com/topic/4344-ignore-files-from-application-folders/?p=26218

    I just tested this with my Colors workflow. I attached a hotkey to one of the script filters (any of them will do; they all use the same argument settings). On pressing the hotkey, the default result ('OS X Color Panel') appears until input is given. This result is only available once the backend codebase is run. TL;DR: I'm not able to replicate this issue. Alfred 2 v2.5 (295) on Mac OS X 10.9.4 (13E28)

    I'm undecided about maintaining this workflow. Since v2.4 added a slider for blur, the functionality here is no longer needed. If Alfred has an official way of implementing a feature, I don't like to hack his internal preferences myself.
  24. Tyler Eich
    I ran into a similar issue with Alfred 2.4 (275) the Yosemite Public Beta 1. Ironically, a simple restart solved it for me Try the latest prerelease (i.e. v2.4) and see if the issue remains
  25. Tyler Eich
    Sure, you can edit the workflow to do this without much work on my end Basically, you're going to find the connection between a Run Script object and a Growl output. When you find this connection, simply add another connection between that Run Script object and a Copy to Clipboard output. On my end, the screenshot below does what I described above. If you don't want the Growl notification, simply delete the Growl object from the workflow
