Create New Folder Current Finder Window

[Migs]

Friends:

 

((First please excuse me if this question has been asked a million times but I couldn't find the workflow try as I might))

 

Newbie starting to love Alfred 3.  I've searched the forums and tried some workflows with no luck.

How do I create a new folder in the current finder window?

 

Most gratefully,

 

Migs

 

PS: New Folder.alfredworkflow doesn't do anything and has no instructions

Do you want to do it with a Keyword instead?

Quick and dirty, but should work fine: Download.

 

For anyone trying to replicate after the link dies:

tell application "System Events"
  if (name of first process whose frontmost is true) is "Finder" then
    tell application "Finder" to set currentDir to (folder of the front window as alias)
  else
    set currentDir to (path to desktop)
  end if
end tell

tell application "Finder" to make new folder at currentDir with properties {name:"{query}"}

Hi Vitor

 

The download didn't download. Tried Chrome and Safari  (The link at the transfer.sh site does not download. )

 

I pasted your script into the advanced window trying to replicate your graphic example but it didn't do anything. (Templates>Essentials>Keyword to Script)

 

Thanks for helping me.

I then went to the Applescript editor and when the script is run from within the editor it does indeed create a folder, but only on the desktop.  It of course doesnt work if you do nf twice because the folder already exists.  Next I saved the script as an application and added that to the alfred bin bash run script but that didnt work.

 

 

query="{query}"
/Users/migs/Downloads/newfold.app
echo -n $query

bin bash run script

 

There's your problem right there. The code @vitor posted is AppleScript, not bash.

 

In your Run Script, set Language to "/usr/bin/osascript (AS)", not "/bin/bash", and Bob's your uncle.

That’s by design. If the Finder is your frontmost app, then it creates it in it’s frontmost window. Otherwise it creates it on the Desktop.

You guys (gals) are awesome.  Thank you so much.
