PopSquirrel Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Just migrating to Alfred from Quicksilver and stumbled on to a weird issue. I created a Workflow to open a PDF file (selected in Finder) with PDFPen Pro (instead of Preview) using ALT+CMD+DownArrow. That way, using just CMD+DownArrow enables me to open the selected PDF in Preview and the hotkey enables me to open it in PDFPen Pro, if that's what I need. Works perfectly. Duplicated the workflow and set a new trigger and a new app: CMD+RightArrow to open the selected file in TextWrangler. Nothing happens. At all. Tried a bunch of hotkey combos, still nothing. Why should it work for one app but not the other? Any settings hidden somewhere that need tweaking? Thanks! Link to comment
PopSquirrel Posted March 7, 2017 Author Share Posted March 7, 2017 And now the first workflow's stopped working too... Link to comment
deanishe Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Please export and upload the workflow somewhere, so we can download it and see what you're talking about. As a rule, it's hard to say what's wrong with a workflow you've never seen… Link to comment
PopSquirrel Posted March 7, 2017 Author Share Posted March 7, 2017 Hi Deanishe, True dat! However, I think I figured out my goof. I set the Hotkey Argument to "Selection in macOS" and in Related Apps I specified Finder and now both the hotkey combos seem to be working. Thanks! Link to comment
