OK so I have been working on a new version of Clinton's "Tabs" workflow and it has got me thinking. Currently I have a requirement to be able to configure persistent settings for that workflow and several other workflows including: My new version of Tabs (details of that to come later... working with Clinton on that) Asana Quicktask (Mannie Schumpert) AlfredTweet (are a few that just come to mind). Currently these store preferences in the appropriate folder under ~/Library/Application Support/... etc However I am increasingly seeing a need for enabling workflows to have data that can be synced between computers. It would be great to just have ~Dropbox/AlfredSync/Workflow Data/{Same structure as under ~/Library/...} then enable workflows to use this location using something like {syncedData}/bundle.id/ (i.e. as a variable similar to {query} in each of the script workflow steps. The alternate way is every workflow that wishes to enable such behaviour has to write a feature separately to manage this, manually changing the folder of only it's config but it seems like something that would be far more logical to have Alfred do (and far easier than having to write manual workflow steps to manage/update the configuration as I am currently seeing in my future. Many thanks LOOOOOVE Alfred.. IT RULES! Stu
