Snippet Open Files/Folder Anywhere

[Shana601]

Description: Alfred workflow for snippet trigger open/attach files/folders and drop & drop attach files anywhere

 

It works pretty well on my side, and I believe it'll be pretty helpful for people who stays on the keyboard.

 

Instruction:

All you need to do with this workflow after installation is to type \\o anywhere in the mac, not necessarily a textfield. And then it pops up a search bar for you to search files/folders, you can choose to open files/folders or drag and drop them onto your current work or to preview in Alfred with "alt" held before any actions.

 

Note: Attaching folders under the root directory lags and sometimes won't open. But other smaller folders are fine. (Tested on the apple note app). Check the images to see how it looks.

Looks cool but the link is broken.

Just fixed the link. Thanks! 

It was my first experiment, just feel free to customize it.

I'm not telling you what to do or anything but I bet you'd find the following workflow a good resource with what I think you might be going for here: https://github.com/deanishe/alfred-fuzzyfolders

Thanks for the info! It is helpful for searching files. I might take it into consideration later when I have some time. I'm still learning all these Alfred workflows.
