Is there a fast/easy way to enable/disable all Workflows? I'm able to Select All Workflows, but the only contextual menus are Category and Delete: Use case: I'm trying to create screenshots of my Workflows and want to isolate on the results from ONE Workflow... which means disabling the rest.

feature request Add CSV export to List Filters
Chris Messina posted a topic in Alfred Feature Suggestions
Since it's possible to drag and drop a CSV file to batch import into a List Filter, it would also be useful to export the contents of a List Filter to CSV. I currently maintain spreadsheets of options that I update from time to time and then convert those spreadsheets to CSV to import into List Filters, and getting the data out that I've previously added would be very helpful. If export itself isn't feasible, allowing me to select and then copy rows in the List Filter to the clipboard in a table-compatible format would be sufficient.

I probably spent far too much time not knowing what I was doing to produce this workflow but now that it will prettify a single obfuscated .json file, I could use some help with improvements: Support prettifying multiple selected files at a time (I've been able to do this with other languages, but haven't figured out how to work with an array of files in python in a Script Filter) Ignore any non-JSON files that might be passed in (currently if you run this against a TXT file, it'll replace the file contents with {query}! (whoops)) Improve the notifications based on whether a single or multiple files were processed I did take a look at @deanishe's Workflow Library or Python but it seemed like overkill for what I wanted to do. Also, I did find several other workflows that will prettify the clipboard's contents, but I specifically want to just handle files in Finder (for now). I found this technique which looked promising, but I kept getting syntax errors in the Script Filter when I would run it: import json import os # Read JSON data from file and pretty print it with open("{query}", "r") as jsonfile: # Convert JSON file to Python Types obj = json.load(jsonfile) # Pretty print JSON data pretty_json = json.dumps(obj, indent=4) print(pretty_json)

I'd like to add more robust DM support to my Twitter Toolkit for Alfred workflow. I've come up with a basic flow for how I think it could be achieved but would love your guidance and help on how to go about implementing it, since I'm not a developer: Authenticate a local Twitter client to get one's followee list; store the list containing IDs, usernames, and display names Load this list as a CSV into a List Filter Use dm to access type-to-suggest completion using that List Filter in Alfred's UI Upon actioning, open the URL prefilled with https://twitter.com/messages/{var:userId}-{query} (where query is the user ID of the recipient) If a space is typed after the username, use that text to prefill message text The basic user-facing flow would be: Type `dm ` Starting typing usernames to initiate autocomplete Choose the desired recipient from the list Type the text of your message Action in order to open a URL prefilled with the recipient ID and your type message. Thoughts?

I've been exploring Raycast and one of its benefits is its deeper integration with SAAS like GitHub, Jira, Zoom, G Suite, Asana, and others. Given that all of these providers require authentication, I think it could be incredibly powerful if Alfred made it easier for Workflow developers to get API tokens from the most popular providers using a standard Workflow Object (either an Action (i.e. Sign the User In) or Utility (i.e. Get Access Token)). I realize this would require that Workflow developers would need to get API keys and do some extra leg work, but what I would like to see are Alfred-provided UIs like these: Once the authentication/authorization flow is complete, the Workflow Object would create an Environment Variable for the retrieved API token.

With Catalyst apps and the rising popularity of native app deeplinking on the Mac, it seems like Alfred could better support routing x-callbacks or deeplinks directly to the corresponding native apps, rather than going through a browser first. Specifically, in Open URL workflow objects — rather than assuming that a browser is necessary — routing to a browser could be offered as an option that is enabled. The current still works, but it seems like Alfred should anticipate this change and get in front of it...

workflow editor Laggy scrolling performance in large workflows
Chris Messina posted a topic in Closed
Performance seems to be a tricky thing to diagnose, since it might be related to the individual's system specs or other configurations... but I believe I've noticed pretty consistently that larger workflows (i.e. with tens or hundreds of objects) has really choppy/jerky rendering performance when scrolling around. I expect the kind of dampening scroll effect in Apple Maps, but perhaps I'm comparing apples and oranges? I recorded what I'm seeing when scrolling around @vdesabou's epic Spotify Mini Player workflow here: https://dropover.cloud/aac3de Hopefully you can see that I'm just flick-scrolling up and down, but the viewport jerks and stops in a really abrupt manner. Is it possible to avoid this behavior? -
workflows Track holiday Deliveries with Alfred 🎅🏻📦
Chris Messina posted a topic in Share your Workflows
I created a simple workflow to make it easy to use a hotkey to add packaging tracking numbers of Deliveries.app. Get Deliveries Toolkit for Alfred It also offers keywords “add”, “track” or just a “+” followed by a space and then paste the tracking number to add a package to Deliveries: I also sent out this tip in my new Alfred newsletter.

Currently if I right-click on an object, I get an expanded menu: But if I right-click on a connection line, I get a minimal menu: It seems like double-clicking on a connection line between two objects should cause a contextual insertion menu to appear: Thoughts?

As I balance all sorts of projects in different fields, I create workspaces for myself using Alfred Workflows (keyword for the project opens all Apps, Websites, Finder Folders, scripts, etc. required for project). Often, there are many web pages and I creating URL actions for each is tedious. I would really love a "Open Multiple URLs" Action where I can paste in a bunch of URLs, separated by line breaks, and the action will open all of them upon trigger. Thanks for the excellent product!

Update: I've finally finished cleaning up my repo and putting each Workflow and Theme into its own top-level directory. I think this will allow me to keep tabs on improvements, issues, and more over time. --- So it now seems like I'm going to be sharing/publishing several Alfred Themes and Workflows over time... (woohoo!). So far I've preferred to keep all of my themes and workflows in one master directory (probably because I saw someone else do this) but now I'm thinking (especially with how OneUpdater and @deanishe's Self-updating seem to work) that I should really migrate each theme and workflow into their own repos under my account. If I'm going to go down this path (with a key motivator being the ability to add auto-updating to my Workflows), are there any other suggestions or recommendations for how I set up my GitHub repos, including handling Releases and Tags? Thanks!

I built the Twitter Toolkit Workflow largely to make it easy for me to quickly access Twitter's features on the web or in the native desktop app. I intend to add support for TweetBot. Ultimately it seems like I'm going to end up with a matrix of output URLs (https://, twitter://, and tweetbot://) that receive the user's query, and will be opened in the desired platform based on the Workflow `platform` variable. I'm not a programmer, so plan to build my workflow visually, but it seems inefficient to add conditionals to each keyword to support each platform. Is there a more efficient way to go about building and maintaining this Workflow without code? For example, there are a bunch of previously web-only outputs that are now supported in the Twitter for Mac client, and when I add them to the workflow, it seems like adding conditionals for each platform is the wrong/least efficient way to do this. Thanks.

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.- 53 replies

I really appreciate how the GitHub Desktop app makes it easy to open repositories with different tools, using different keyboard shortcuts: I'd find it really helpful if Alfred Workflows offered the same functionality, and in particular if this "Open Workflow folder in Finder" allowed me to right-click and choose to open with a specific app, i.e. Atom, TextMate, or some other editor. Of course it would also be great if keyboard shortcuts were supported too.

I make many keyword-based Workflows and I would find it incredibly efficient to be able to quickly duplicate an object using ⌘-D. Currently I can hit ⌘-C and then ⌘-P (copy and paste), or right-click and choose copy and then right-click and paste: ...but many apps (like Sketch) support ⌘-D to duplicate the selected object or objects: This would greatly improve my efficiency.

Christmas Wish for Alfred: I wish users had some control over the size of the left panel in Alfred's Preferences (not the sidebar, but the panel next to it). As shown below, I'd like to be able to drag the panel right - at times, when viewing my Workflows - as the current fixed version doesn't allow users to see much of their workflows' names. Personally, I keep a lot of resources to use as examples for building or modifying new workflows, but it's impossible to see their titles or descriptions under the current space allotment (i.e., even if I went to a less ridiculous naming convention).😀 Thanks for your consideration!

Up until recently, my preferences and workflows synced between machines wonderfully. Something recently broke and I'm not seeing workflows sync anymore through Dropbox. I know Dropbox is syncing on both machines, as I just dropped a file from my desktop machine into it and I see it on my laptop almost immediately. Both Alfred instances are set to sync from my Dropbox folder. But for some reason, the workflows aren't syncing. As a test, I create a new one on my desktop and don't see it syncing over to my laptop. However, if I delete the Alfred.preferences file from Dropbox, I see my workflows immediately start disappearing from both machines. So the syncing is working right, but just not for new workflows. Any pointers on what I should look for to troubleshoot this? -
Does importing workflows pose any security risks?
bobbyroberts99 posted a topic in Discussion & Help
I'm a noob and loving Alfred 2. I've imported a bunch of workflows and am wondering if they pose any security risks. Can malware, viruses or keystroke loggers be added to my system by way of an imported workflow? Are workflows safe? Does running anti-virus on them before import do any good? What precautions does Alfred 2 take to make sure that no malevolent code gets added to my mac? Thanks for the app. It's really well done! -
Hi, I need to know how to get my Workflows from my old laptop to my new one. I have downloaded the app and installed on the new machine but I need to know how to get my workflows.

We can use Alfred on all our Macs. I have two – one for personal use and one for working. I would appreciate possibility to disable workflows on certain Mac so I would have enabled those used on personal Mac and others on my work Mac. There is such possibility in Keyboard Maestro app and I am using it and thought that Alfred could also include such option. -
How do I use a workflow? How do I make it run. As you can tell by my posts I am a 'baby' Alfred user. Thanks

👋 Hi. Long time lurker stopping by to share something I've been working on. I'm calling it Pacmax (PM). Akin to Packal (which is a great website that I'm sure we all know and love) PM is my attempt to fill what voids I feel exist in the current landscape for the other Alfred lovers out there, like myself. Namely: It works from the source, dynamically updating content from GitHub. No accounts are necessary to add Workflows and Themes, because I'm curating submissions. Adding to PM is as simple as submitting the GitHub repository. Repos with files that use the appropriate .alfredappearance & .alfredworkflow extensions will enable PM to display Import (themes will open directly with Alfred) and Get Import File (workflows). Your feedback is very important! I hope you'll check it out and let me know what you think. Don't forget to add your favorite Workflows & Extensions (at the bottom of the page)! I added a few of my favorites to start (but it's grown significantly since this post was published). If anyone is interested, you can learn more about Pacmax at pacmax.org. If you have any kind of feedback or are interested in getting involved on a deeper level, I welcome your feedback at feedback@pacmax.org. Thanks, and all the best, Maxwell

Hi there! I wanted to ask if there is a way, with a button shortcut to have a file open in Photoshop? For example, I have jpegs automatically open in Photoshop by default through my Mac SysPrefs... but I still have pngs open in Preview. Is there a way to have a button to have it "open in... application" or just "open in Photoshop" as an option, like how we can press Shift or CMD to preview or open the file location? Thanks!
