  1. Is there anyway to reveal multiple Finder files in custom workflow ? I'm working on a script that will find files that matches with query string in the front most Finder window. If I echo full pathname of a file in script code, and put a "Reveal File in Finder" action in the output, it will work as expected. But if there are multiple files that matches with query string, I've no idea whether can I reveal multiple files at the same time.
  2. That remind me of a fancy alternative app called "Actions". That project was abandoned a while back. "Actions" handles triggered actions on remote end, that is, by sending a bunch of simulated keystrokes in sequence. However, Alfred can do much better than that. It's very easy for Alfred to be the solution for controlling Mac from sofa; the only thing they need to do is to make "Keystroke" as remote trigger or a standard action. People can do that now with workflow that calls oscascript, but it's insanely tedious to assign each hotkey via workflow.
  3. Now I know that I can send (hold) certain keystroke from Remote; however, it the purpose is only for executing optional actions within a workflow, there should be a better way. For example, can we have an option to "Hold modifier keys" while adding a command or workflow to the remote panel ? Alfred would then know to hold these keys while the remote action is triggered. Please consider this as a feature request.
  4. Just updated to 2.6 and got confused by remote. From the introduction I can only have a rough understanding of how remote works. It seems Alfred Remote can only submit a predefined, complete task, such as launch an application, or it can bring up the Alfred search box on my Mac and leave it unfinished, so that I'll have to finish the search term one my Mac's keyboard, is that right ? I'm looking for a solution of remote controller that can provide interactive operation; that is, I want to remotely control a Mac to navigate through the file system, and let me choose an application to open the selected file or folder. In other words, I'd wish that Alfred Remote can bring up the File Action panel, and let me remotely select an action from the iOS. Or at lease, I'd wish for a virtual keyboard (with extra arrow and modifier key buttons) in Alfred Remote. It's ultimately stupid to bring up the Alfred search box in Alfred Remote, and than switch to another remote keyboard / mouse app like BTT remote to finish the rest task. I'm not sure whether Alfred Remote is something I'm looking for, and I don't want to spend $5 for a test drive. Can we have a trial version or something ?
