deanishe 1,451 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 That isn't how you search by file type in Finder. It's not a shell. Try kind:PDF instead. Link to post
Vero 471 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 @rockyit86 You can type into Alfred " *pdf" to find PDF files (note the space before the *pdf, where pressing the spacebar is a shortcut to the "find" keyword) If you want to play with workflows, take a look at the built-in Dynamic File Search example. You could create a similar workflow to set the file type dynamically (e.g. from a List Filter where you pre-set the types you usually search for). This then allows you to also select a search scope, etc. Cheers, Vero Link to post
