I just upgraded from Alfred 2 to 4 finally but I've lost all my snippets, how do I import them withuot having to manually add them?

Hey not sure if I need mfdind, I think it's this simple:

"fonts foobar" should open a finder search limited to my fonts folder for 'foobar', I don't want the results in alfred.

Really great script!

How can I modify the script so that it works on the selected text in whatever app I have open?

I thought I understood some regex but I'm confused here, how does one enter the replace string?
edit: I see, its the "/" 

Hi, thanks for the workflow, this sounds exactly what I need. Where can I download the latest workflow? The original post has a file from a whole year ago…

So this would be a file filter with a limited scope, and you want to reveal them all in Finder? Would using the default Ctrl+Return hotkey on the result work? I guess I'm just trying to figure out exactly what you're wanting..

First part yes, second part: when I press Ctrl+Return on my File Filter with a limited scope (keyword is 'fonts'), it brings up a Web Search with 'fonts foobar'.

As he says, when he hits ALT+ENTER to show the results "in Spotlight", he wants the search scope to be limited to the same scope as the File Filter, not "This Mac", which is what Alfred does.

 

For example:

 

I have a File Filter set up to search ~/Dropbox. If I hit ALT+ENTER on any result to search with Spotlight, the scope is no longer ~/Dropbox, but the entire system.

Yes! Except, Alfred also uses whatever is highlighted in the search result instead of my original search term, i.e. if I activated the workflow using 'find helvetica', and I pressed Alt+Enter, instead of showing a finder spotlight search looking for 'Helvetica', it's looking for the highlighted results 'HelveticaNeueeTextPro-Bold', which is not what I want.

I would like to create a workflow that is close to the 'Filter from keyword and reveal', with a limited search scope but instead of display the search results in the Alfred window, I'd like it to reveal all search results in Finder (like spotlight, but restricted to a specific folder).

Any advice is much appreciated.

I have the same problem, taking even longer, on MBP 2012, 10.8.5. Starts up fine when I load it manually too.
