Hinting when entering "folder/subfolder!


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello, I have a question: is there a way how Alfred can hint me result when I enter more from the folder/file path than the name of the folder / file?

For example I want to open folder "code" which is located in folder "programming". My idea is that I would type something like "programming/code" but Alfred offers me only Google & other searches for this. Is there any workaround for this? Thanks!

That’s exactly what Alfred does (documentation).


Maybe you can record a video of what you’re doing, so your question is clearer.

 

Where in the linked page is it stated? I don't want to navigate through whole path (query start with "/")
I want to open folder/file using some part of its path - mostly to skip hinting folders with the same name. 

Anytime as I type "/" in my querry, Alfred offers Search with Google, Amazon, Wikipedia...

Start your query with a space (you’ll see a '). It’ll look in your system. Search for the name of the parent and it’ll allow to drill down the path in greater detail.

Alfred only looks at one folder at a time. If you want to "jump" across multiple levels with a single query, the only (Alfred) option I know of is  my Fuzzy Folders workflow.
