swiimboy Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I want to use a hotkey to launch a file in Open Office AND show the containing folder in Finder. The intention is to launch Open Office then pick from a limited number of files to open. Is this possible? I've created a handful of workflows already, but I'm very much a Newbie.

deanishe Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Use a Launch Apps / Files Action. Drag OpenOffice and your folder into the list, and connect it to a Hotkey trigger. Link to comment

Dragging into the list 'sort of works', but I sometimes get Open Office splash screen and the open Finder window in different workspaces. I shall find a way to fix that. Also having occasional error messages when I double-click on a .xls file, something to do with it being from an unknown source, but that is another issue, and again I will sort it. Thanks again.

deanishe Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Those are all issues with the applications themselves and the system, I'm afraid. Nothing Alfred can do to help there. Link to comment
