All of these things have already been addressed in Alfred 2.2 which will be in pre-release by the end of next week
 
For now, try this workflow filter which can do diacritic (accented) insensitive and word based searching:

Try this URL:
http://www.booklooker.de/B%C3%BCcher/Angebote/titel={query}
The '%C3%BC' is 'ü' encoded for use in URLs. The checkbox for UTF-8 encoding only applies to the value of {query}.

I concur. Finer control over notifications would be a boon. At the absolute bare minimum, allowing a workflow to dynamically populate both the title and subtitle fields would be nice. Right now, since you can only use {query}, one of those fields will have a fixed message.

You can use applescript to run the shell script with administrator privileges:
 
 
osascript -e  "do shell script \"sudo apachect1 stop >/dev/null;\" with administrator privileges"
 
I know it sounds a bit silly running a shell script, in an applescrip,t in a shell script... but it works)

For what it's worth, you don't need to use a Run Script action to open Alfred with a query. Hotkeys can handle this without any extra code:

It's called a heredoc. It's a bash thing. PHP  can do it, too. It's a simple way of creating really long, multi-line strings.
 
It's not necessary in Python because you can do this (triple-quoted strings):
xml = """<?xml version="1.0"?> <items> <item uid="whatever" arg="myResult"> <title>hallo</title> <subtitle>who is there?</subtitle> </item> </items>""" In a language like Python, PHP, Ruby or anything else that has built-in XML support, you should probably use those feature to generate your output. If you don't, sooner or later you'll end up with & or < or > in your output, which will break Alfred (invalid XML).

Tyler, thanks so much, works for me too. I'd stopped using this workflow because I had a bunch of non-existent folders coming up after a reorganisation . The addition of the dedicated "Remove From Favourites" option is also welcomed!
 
The 'faves' keyword is less likely to bring up a bunch of other app folders than 'favorites' (i.e. Adobe core folders etc) but of course that's easy enough to change ourselves

In Alp's defense, if I remember correctly, you can just include whatever you need to include and delete the rest.

Have you tried assigning the Finder to all desktops? That way, Finder will be available regardless of which desktop you're on.
 
From there, you can use Alfred to open Finder. You could simply type 'Finder', or you can create a workflow with a hotkey or keyword to launch Finder.

Here you go:
 

There’s no option in Alfred to perform that action (you should add it as a feature suggestion). However, there is a way to accomplish what you want. It’s a hack, and it’s definitely not pretty, but it works. Expanding on the idea of telling Alfred to search for something, what you can do is
tell application "Alfred 2" to search "vol mute" tell application "System Events" to key code 36 That will call Alfred’s window with your desired query, and the system will then take care of pressing ↩, which will effectively run the command. You’ll see Alfred’s window flash for a split second, and it is prone to possible undesired consequences (let’s say a dialog box pops in front, in that exact fraction of time — ↩ will not discriminate what app is in front), but it should work for the most part.

Have anyone solved your problem already?
 
I don't think it's possible with EJECTED drives. When you eject your drive, it's not visible to the OS anymore. The only "solution" I've come across on the internet was this one:
 
 
As you can see, it'll re-mount ALL external USB drives. Maybe it won't work as you want.
 
Another "solution":
 
 
 
Sorry

I took another stab at this deletion issue. Since David said the problem was related to the workflows.php class, I ported his code to Python (and added a few features).

The workflow should 'just work'. If it doesn't let me know
 
Changes:
'Remove from Favorites' file action added More flexible filtering using 'fuzzy' search 'Reveal in Finder' action Automatic removal of items that no longer exist on your system Automatic removal of duplicate items New icons

Update (v2.0.0):
Much faster Added support for UIColor and NSColor Removed Alleyoop support in favor of Packal Download from Packal

Superb! Thank you Tyler. I had duplicate folders on my list for some reason, but replacing old workflow with yours fixed instantly. I love it!

Type an '=' after your formula. For example, '8+89=' will put '97' into the search box.

Alfred learns which keywords you frequently use for specific items.
 
Say you type 'goo', then select your Google Voice app. The next time you type 'goo', Alfred will put that app above anything that has fewer hits. As you use Alfred, he will learn what apps you use most with which keywords.

Alfred's built-in dictionary is great, but often the subtext area is too small to be able to read the full definition. It would be fantastic if you could quick-look the result (just press Shift) and then it would show a small popup that showed the full definition, either like the quick look for a text file or like Alfred's large text overlay.

Find and paste unicode symbols. I included a lot of them, like really a lot, over 20k I think, but for me workflow works pretty fast.
 
Symbol can be pasted as symbol (mh...), in html encoding, as python string and as unicode code point.

This looks absolutely outstanding, Shawn! I've been looking forward to this ever since you first mentioned it to me. I'm going to pin this to the top of the Workflows forum
 
Also, a note to anybody who uses Packal... Shawn has done this completely off of his own back and in his own free time, so please don't hound him with feature requests etc. He has hidden a PayPal donate near the bottom of the FAQ, so if you like and enjoy it, a little donation wouldn't go a miss. I know Vero and I will be donating!
 
Cheers,

Open man pages with name and section filtering.
 
The 'man' keyword exploits the x-man-page: protocol handler, so will default to opening in Terminal.app but can easily be switched to iTerm2.app. 'hman' opens pages in your default browser, and 'pman' opens PDFs in the default PDF reader.
  Download / Source
 
 
Usage
man open(1)  # open a specific page
pman style   # open a PDF of the style(9) manpage
man open     # search all sections for pages matching 'open*'
man *open    # search all sections for pages matching '*open*'
man 2 open   # search section 2 for pages with 'open' in the name
 
Enjoy.

If you do any bug reporting, you may know what a pain it is to get version information for the application in question. Usually, it means going to the 'About' menu and copying version information from there.
 
This workflow lets you copy and paste version information with a few keystrokes. The keyword is 'version'.
 
Download • Packal (Beta)
 
Example outputs:
Alfred 2 v2.1.1 (227) on Mac OS X 10.9.1 (13B42) Safari v7.0.1 (9537.73.11) Mac OS X 10.9.1 (13B42)  
You can get version information for:
The current application Any application on your disk Your operating system  
There are also several choices when retrieving the information:
When dealing with application or OS info: Command: Copy and paste immediately When dealing with application info: Option: Copy with OS information Control: Copy with OS information and paste immediately  
Here's what it looks like:

 
Enjoy

Sorry! I misread and misunderstood the line. Thanks for your help! It solved the problem!

Do you have the following option activated in Firefox?

I'm happy to announce that after months of development, I'm ready to make a new workflow and theme repository available to the public as an open beta: Packal. Workflows and themes are taggable and searchable. You can add in the icons, screenshots, long descriptions, and brief ones. There are many different ways to find whatever you need there. Since this is an initial announcement, there isn't much content there yet, except for the workflows and themes that a few kind testers uploaded.
 
Themes are stored as a simple application URL, which means there are no files to download, but, instead, they import directly into Alfred2. Workflows are scanned for viruses after they are submitted but before they are made available publicly. Workflow authors can easily update their workflows just by editing the page and replacing the workflow file there.
 
What is even better is that there is a soon-to-be-released companion workflow that will interface with Packal.org allowing for you to update your workflows directly from Alfred. I've worked out a method for updating workflows with Andrew that provides all of the security migration features that Alfred does natively. In order for a workflow to be updatable, the author needs to do nothing other than upload the file to Packal. All the packaging information necessary is automatically created for each workflow by the website itself. Besides the virus scan, the workflow also signs each package in order to verify its authenticity.
 
I think that these are exciting developments for Alfred, and this sort of repository is what many people have been waiting for since these forums were created.
 
So, please, head over to Packal, browse what's there, and, very importantly, submit your own workflows and themes.
