    Alt+down kinda does that. It's the equivalent of Alt+up and then down. Try it out.

    Florian got a reaction from davidzumini in Could someone make some Evernote workflows?   
    Hey guys, 
     
    so I'm not trying to steal anybody's thunder here so let me start by saying that Ryan Paul and Stephen Millard did all the work here.
     
    I just compiled the whole thing in one workflow with which you can create a new note, add content to a previous one, search a note by title in alfred, and search a note's content in evernote. Just take a look at the workflow to see what it does and what modifier keys to use.

    What what is cool with this is how to append text to a note:
    - type the keyword "evernote"
    - start typing the name of a note and then <tab> to autocomplete
    - type the content you want to add starting with ":"

    Florian reacted to jvdneut in Menu bar search   
    Hi,
     
    I've created a basic workflow that searches the system's menu bar. After having used Sublime Text's command palette I wanted to have a similar system-wide functionality. EDIT: For people that haven't worked with Sublime Text's command palette: the command palette allows you to fuzzy search the entire application menu by keyboard. This saves both time on hunting down the right menu and saves you having to remember all sorts of keyboard shortcuts. For a brief introduction on Sublime Text's command palette see https://tutsplus.com/lesson/the-command-palette/
     
    EDIT: Better use ctwise's "2.0" workflow http://www.alfredforum.com/topic/1993-menu-search/ [old download is still available at http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6259900/Menu%20bar%20search.alfredworkflow]
     
    The current workflow does not do any fuzzy searching and every keystroke executes the entire script again. My preferred fix to this would be to have a script input that is only executed once, and have Alfred do the subsequent fuzzy matching based on the initial result.

    Florian got a reaction from untidey in Browse folder in Alfred be the default action for folders   
    Hey team,
    Is there any chance you could add a checkbox to have "browse folder in alfred" be the default action on a folder (when pressing enter)?
     
    Even though I use alfred constantly, I keep making the mistake of pressing enter and having Finder come up. I find the way it is done right now not really consistant throughout the entire Alfred experience since when you are in the browsing mode, enter becomes a way to actually navigate. But I guess other people might see it the other way: pressing enter always opens files so it should also open folders...
     
    Two logical way of thinking, in my opinion. Thus, the option to chose would be good.
     
    Thanks.

    1. Thanks to Florian for all his help.
     
    2. How this workflow works
     
    2.1. Keywords:
     
    2.2.1. "next": shows next song and currently playing song titles in Alfred window from a custom playlist (a list made by you) or the current album from the current song;
     
    2.2.2. "previous": shows previous song and currently playing song titles in Alfred window from a custom playlist (a list made by you) or the current album from the current song;
     
    2.2.3. "pick4me": shows and plays a random song from your library.
     
     
    2.2. Hotkeys:
     
     
    2.2.1. "control+option+command+p": shows Alfred window with a random song from your library;

    2.2.2. "control+option+p": picks a random song from your library and displays a default Notification.
     

    3. Known issues
     
    Right now compilations album played from Library will not work. However a custom playlist (a list made by you) is not affected by the issue.
     
    One more thing: when playing a song from Library the workflow requires “album artist”, “album” and “track number” in order to work properly. If you don’t care too much about tags then use a custom playlist that can hold your entire library anyway.

    Florian reacted to Florian in History for hotkey triggered workflows   
    Hey guys,
    I really like how a hotkey triggered script filter behaves, with the nice icon on the left I use it for all of my main workflows, but then, I don't have any history...
    I was wondering if there is a reason why it is that way. For example ctrl+g is my google autocomplete search hotkey. And I'd really like to browse my last searches. Any idea?
    And if there is no real reason, any way it could be a new feature?

    Florian reacted to CarlosNZ in DeskDrawer (Keep the clutter off your Desktop!) [Updated to 1.5]   
    NOTE: This workflow has not been updated to work with Alfred 3.0 and above, and is known to cause issues. Use at your own risk.
     
    ----
     
    Keep all the miscellaneous crap off your Desktop by sweeping everything into a "DeskDrawer" folder, which is easily accessible from our good friend Alfred.
     
    Download DeskDrawer v1.5
    [updated 25 March 2014]
     
    Okay, the idea is not completely original — I've used apps like DesktopTidy and Unclutter to achieve this, but it's amazing how simple it is to replicate the basic concept with an Alfred workflow.
     

    This is your "DeskDrawer" in Alfred (keyword "drawer", default hotkey Shift-Cmd-D). From there you can:
    search the list (just start typing) open an item (select it) move it back to your Desktop (option-select) reveal it in DeskDrawer/Finder (cmd-select) browse/open it in Alfred (ctrl-select) for further action. Move item to the Trash (fn-select) [NEW in 1.3] There is a file action, "Move to DeskDrawer" (as well as the  keyword "move") for quickly flicking items into the Drawer. There is also the keyword "sweep" to scoop all your Desktop items into DeskDrawer in one hit. And finally, "deskrestore" will dump the contents of your DeskDrawer back on the Desktop in all its messy glory.
     
    You can also undo your last file/folder movement with the "unmove" keyword. [New in v1.5]
     
    And now you can protect certain items on your Desktop from being moved during a sweep, with either the File Action "Protect from DeskDrawer Sweep" or the keyword "protect". (Reverse this with the File Action "UnProtect from DeskDrawer Sweep" or keyword "unprotect".) [New in v1.5]
     
    And finally, for full documentation, use the keyword "deskdrawer help". [New in v1.5]
     
    I don't about the rest of you, but I like to keep my Desktop as clutter-free as possible (unlike my IRL desktop! ), so having this capability in Alfred is great.
     
    Let me know what you think, or any bugs you find.
     
    Features I'd still like to add:
    The ability to "protect" certain files from the "sweep" and "deskrestore" actions. [DONE in v1.5] Be able to specify the location of your DeskDrawer folder. [DONE in v1.2] Any requests?  
    UPDATE:  1 April 2013 - v1.3
    New action: "fn-select" item to Trash it. Consolidated and tidied up workflow setup panel. Support for Alleyoop auto-updater Minor cosmetic tweaks. UPDATE: 2 April 2013 - v1.4
    New keyword: "move" — moves selected items to Drawer (same as the file action, but you just enter it in Alfred's main window — some people seem to prefer this approach.) UPDATE: 25 March 2014 - v1.5
    New icon for DeskDrawer folder (to fit in with OS X custom folder look). DeskDrawer is now allowed on the Desktop itself. “Undo” function to reverse the last “Move” to DeskDrawer or Sweep. “Protect” specified Desktop items from being moved to the DeskDrawer during Sweeps. Fix for XML-illegal characters in filenames. More icons. Removed AlleyOop updater support. Default DeskDrawer location is now Home folder. Local documentation (keyword: deskdrawer help) Miscellaneous minor tweaks and fixes.

    Hi all
     
    I've purchased 500mb of webspace which I plan to move the repo over to. This should improve the general speed of accessing the repo. I'm also currently re-writing the icon caching code to download the files asynchronously which will further improve responsiveness.
     
    As far as increasing the filesize limit - what kind of size do you guys think you'll need? We've already got 102 workflows in the repo (most of which are tiny - in fact we're only using around 8mb in total). If people start shipping huge caches with their workflows this could run out fast.
     
    I've got my day job and an art project to work on as well as this at the moment so development will be a little slower than it has been. Please bear with me.

    Florian reacted to sphardy in Descriptive Name for Custom Call Actions in main Alfred window   
    Hello
     
    First post - have tried to ensure I'm not duplicating.
     
    I have created a workflow for a custom contacts action - specifically to use Skype to call phone numbers leveraging a script I already had. All works just fine however when I open a contact in Alfred I see the following options when highlighting a phone number:
     

     
    I'd very much like to be able to define the "Perform custom action" in some way so that it is clear what the action is which is how Alfred v1 worked as shown here:
     

     
    Ideally I'd like to be able to define a name/description for the custom action within contacts custom action settings. This could then also be used to address a similar issue when using URL passing as a custom action.
     
    eg if I use URL passing ( skype:{query}?call ) to achieve the same function, I see the following when highlighting a phone number:
     

     
    I'd rather be able to define the "Pass to URL scheme" text so that the action being taken is unambiguous. An additional "Description" field in the Custom Actions section of Contacts could be used in both cases
     
    Hope this makes sense

    If you want that Alfred opens new Terminal tabs instead of windows (for "Open Terminal Here" and ">"), then do this:
    Open Alfred Preferences, Go to "Features" Go to "Terminal / Shell" Select Application "Custom" Paste this script into the textbox: on alfred_script(q) tell application "Terminal" activate tell application "System Events" to tell process "Terminal.app" to keystroke "t" using command down do script q in front window end tell end alfred_script Maybe it's usefull for some of you.

    Florian reacted to jdfwarrior in Workflows Best Practices   
    This thread will serve as reference for a list overall "best practices" when creating workflows for Alfred 2.

    This will be an evolving document, so check back occasionally for updates.

    Data Storage
    In order to clean workflow directories clean and prevent syncing issues, we recommend using the following paths for storing volatile (non-persistent) and non-volatile (persistent) information.
    Volatile:~/Library/Caches/com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred-2/Workflow Data/[bundle id] Non-Volatile:~/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/Workflow Data/[bundle id] When writing data to these folders, remember to create a folder for your workflow. Name the folder to match the bundle id of your workflow. This helps keep things clean and organized and make sure that you don't accidentally delete or overwrite someone else's settings.
     
    Synced Settings
    While it is recommended that settings be written and stored within the two locations provided above, sometimes it is found to be more useful to sync settings along with installed workflows. If this option better fits the needs of your workflow, create a new folder inside of your workflow folder named config and write all settings that need to be synced there. We recommend keeping this folder minimal. Only store settings there that have been deemed necessary. Continue to store all other settings in the previously suggested paths.
     
    When exporting workflows, remember to remove the config folder from the workflow path before exporting so that you do not distribute potentially confidential information to the masses. 

    Requesting Remote Data
    When creating workflows that request data from remote resources, be sure to set your "Please Wait" subtext to inform the end user that data is being requested from remote locations and therefore, may take a moment to populate the list of feedback results. See example image below.



    If possible, set timeouts for remote data requests appropriately and provide the the end user with an error (or other such) message to inform them that the request took longer than normal and that script execution has halted. This prevents the user from waiting an unnecessarily long amount of time thinking that feedback is coming.

    Florian reacted to loris in "Open url" feature being aware of already opened tabs   
    I use Alfred for a freaking lots of actions and that's why I love it so much, but my primary use (and I'm pretty sure that's the case of most Alfred users) is to use it as an Application Launcher.
    However lots of applications nowadays are web apps: Gmail, Facebook, Google Reader, Deezer, Remember the milk,...
    The issue I have when using Alfred to launch web app is that I can't switch to one of them if it's already opened, Alfred would launch a new duplicate tab.
    For instance, when using "Open Gmail" action in Alfred, I would love to have it check first if my default browser already has Gmail opened in any tabs and then would just switch to this tab instead.
    I know this can be kind of done using Applescript but it would be awesome to have this feature built-in as an option in the "Open url" feature

    Florian got a reaction from Tyler Eich in Displaying items as they echo   
    Hey Andrew,
     
    would it be possible / would you consider to have the items display in the results as they arrive? For some scripts with a little latency, it would be a major improvement. 
     
    For example, I scripted something to get films : image from amazon, description and title from imdb. But getting one of these takes about a second or two. So a list of these is way too long... But if you could display them as they arrive! 
     
    I hope you'll consider this one if it's not too much work. 
     
    I'm having so much fun with this beta
