A work flow like this would pave the way for other similar ones that would help users have control of what they paste from the clipboard! Thx for taking the time to read this.

Here is a workflow that can do it:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/5kth8ri3yyoku3q/replacer.alfredworkflow?dl=0

basically select whatever you want to change the quotes of and press ⌘+⇧+C. It will change the quotes and paste the result.

I've started to put together my first attempts at a workflow in Python 2 using @deanishe 's Alfred-Workflow package. My keyword is "lz". However, when I come to test it, I type in "lz" and for a split second, my Title and SubTest are displayed, only to be barged unceremoniously out of the way by entries for "Search Google for 'lz'', "Search Amazon for 'lz'" and "Search Wikipedia for 'lz'". How do I stop this from happening?

Share your workflow so that we can help you  

Overall to test your workflows go to your workflow and press the little "Bug icon" at the top right which will open "debugging mode". That

way you can see what is going on with your workflow.

Heh. Good thinking. I always forget about that feature, as I never use it.

haha, and i actually never went without it ^^ i like having an exclusive file search as it can be pretty cluttered else.

Are you just typing to search for files or are you using another invoke?

Hello, I've just started with Alfred so forgive me if this is an obvious question, but if I am looking for a programming code document, such as "SynEditMarkupFoldColoring.pas" is there any way of stopping Alfred from interpreting it first as a website? I've worked out how to add my code folders to Alfred's search scope, so that's OK.

Like Dean said, Alfred will suggest the URL however you can just use the "Quick file search mode" which would let you search for files only.

Alfred Preferences → Features → File Search → Quick Search

That way you just press space after launching Alfred and you'll search for files only.

Hi guys,

I'm having this problem for several days, even before I update Mac OS to 10.12.6(should be 10.12.5 I guess).

Snippets auto expansion works for a while everytime I reboot my mac, then it won't. I went to Alfred preferences - Features - Snippets, this msg came out says "Microsoft Excel seems to be preventing text expansion by blocking secure entry". Tried quit Excel, same problem remains but the message says "Process ID 2681 seems to be...". as in screenshot attached.

Alfred 3.4, build 850. Mac os 10.12.6

To know which process is actually blocking, take a look at the Activity Monitor. At the Tab CPU you'll see PID which is your Process ID.

Take a look which Process is 2681 or what it is then and let us know.

Cheers,

It would be cool to have a workflow action that would quit a specific or multiple apps. That's really useful

when you know which apps you are going to close after work or a project

<.< >.> i sniff some Keyboard Maestro here....

Hey FroZen_X,

I modified your workflow to be triggered using a keyboard hotkey because it's faster than having to manually type "smute" every time.

Hope you don't mind. ^‿^

 

Hello cliffgaribay,

I've actually done the same after all ^^ Using "Hyper(⌃+⌥+⇧+⌘) + S". 

That's the beauty of workflows in Alfred, you can trigger it via whatever you want

I have that action. But to access it, you have to activate file actions, then start searching for 'code' then press return.

 

I just thought that you can customise modifier key actions in the file viewer itself.  

What is if you set the default application to VS Code and just open via "Enter". If you want to open it in finder then press "cmd+Enter" etc.

Any news on Touchbar integration? Either workflow or system level. Nice to be able to have some useful things appear in the Touchbar when Alfred is activated.

Take a look at bettertouchtools. It does give you the ability to customize your touchbar in the way you like.

Trying to figure out snippet for "last month".  I have only been able to figure out for "this month" as {date:MMMM}.  Tried to put a "-1M" etc, but have not been able to make it show something like "June" automatically while I am in "July".  This is for an email I send out on the 1st of each month regarding the previous month, but have not been able to make it work.  Any help appreciated.  Thanks.

Use it like this "{datetime -1M:MMMM} " that will give you the last month

@xavdid Further to this, I've just installed macOS High Sierra 10.13 Beta on my very old Mac Mini (Intel c2d mid 2010) and blur is working extremely smoothly. This suggests that it could be a driver bug for your Mac spec, OR that macOS High Sierra has significantly improved graphics performance.

The windowserver in macOS Sierra has been updated to use metal. That could be the improvement in this case

Version 0.2.6 has Chrome tabs support. That was actually easier than I thought.

You can update in Packal or download it from here: https://github.com/mandrigin/AlfredSwitchWindows/releases/tag/0.2.6-beta

Could you bring in the option to search on every desktop? Like i cannot search for tabs when chrome is on another desktop.

Else its pretty fast!

@FroZen_X you can delete individual items manually using cmd+backspace in the clipboard history viewer.

 

If you could set Keyboard Maestro to use a transient marker when populating the clipboard, then Alfred's history will ignore this. Alternatively, you could setup an Alfred workflow to do a similar task, and Alfred's Clipboard output object can set the text as transient.

 

Cheers,

Andrew

 @Andrew I actually have another issue here when i wanna get this to work with Alfred. I can dispatch a keycombo ⌘ + C to copy the text, but that one cannot be marked as transient. The output copy to clipboard doesn't let me get selected text like the Hotkey function does. Is there any way to get the Dispatch Keycombo

mark the clipboard as transient or get the selected text via an action like the Hotkey one?

This is my current idea of doing:

press a shortcut → dispatch keycombo "⌘+⌥+ ←" → dispatch keycombo "⌘+C" and then Transform and paste.

Else ill have to use some applescript i guess.

Cheers,

haven't found a way to use transient marker with keyboard maestro so ill use Alfred exclusively for this

Thank you very much for your reply.

Hello everyone,

is there a way to delete the last Clipboard entry in Alfred?

I'm currently using Keyboard Maestro to select the last word, capitalize it and paste it back. The Problem there is that

it manipulates the Alfred clipboard so that i have the entry twice. Like there stands "test" and "Test". I would like to 

delete those.

Cheers,

Creating another user account is not practical. However I did change accessibility access so that only Alfred ie enabled.  If this seems to solve the problem, I will try to leave it this way.  I do not think I use the features of the other apps that require accessibility access.  If it does happen again, I will try to sample the Alfred process.  Thanks for the advice.

Andrew suggested to temporary create one, not permanent. This way you can test if any other application is doing this or if the fault is by Alfred itself

I've had other issues and could narrow it down this way. When you know that it works under the new Account as intended then you can check what on your 

main Account is causing the issue.

Drinking early in the morning isnt my thing either ^^ So not even alcohol was helping there, then it must have been a lot lol

I heard of it being pretty crazy there but have never been there so gotta try that one day.

I haven't even heard of Killepitsch oO Its probably kinda like Jägermeister but only mixed is that something for me.

Not a bad idea. For a Düdo Spießer

 

Were you there for Rosenmontag?

 

Haha, I have a Project in Düdo and therefore I'm often there  Sadly I wasn't there on Rosenmontag. Would have loved to see whats going on there.

However I live in Fulda now, where they also have a lot of wagons going through the street. Was pretty funny ^^

Have you been there for Rosenmontag?  

Hello everyone,

i more often browser through folders via Alfred and find myself wanting to press ⌘ + A to select all filtered files like in this case:

Just to drag and drop then for instance into a Mail. I know i can use the mail action for that but not when I'm in a Browser or when i want to

just Drag and Drop them quick all together and not one by one. Maybe there is already another way idk but this would be awesome to have.

Cheers,

Frozen

Hello everyone,

I'm using the "previous path" shortcut several times a day and always have the same issue. Alfred doesn't remember what i used as a filter before

like this:

I use 1702 to filter out a certain date. However when i use the "previous path" shortcut i would like to have the option that Alfred remembers

that i filtered for "1702".

Cheers,

Frozen

I think Alfred's defaults would benefit from something similar to the email or terminal plugins, so I could add, say, Chrome or Pinboard bookmarks to the default results, instead of Safari's.

I would think of something that Andrew talked about here:

8 hours ago, Andrew said:

at enhancing this so that one hotkey could connect to multiple input filters, and results from all filters would be shown.

Then you could have 2 ways of launching Alfred and even more. Like combining several Filefilters, google/yahoo/bing search, bookmarks in Safari and chrome etc.

54 minutes ago, deanishe said:

I'm leery of allowing users to plug Script Filters directly into the default results because, as stated above, only compiled programs can come even close to providing result

I definitely agree on that. Like you said, others would see this as a bug.

Btw i use this workflow for Chrome bookmarks:
