JorjGaidin Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 In Alfred v1, I could type "Action" to perform actions on the currently selected items in finder. In v2, It seems like I can only use a keyboard shortcut to achieve the same. Is there a setting I'm missing? Link to comment

In v2, It seems like I can only use a keyboard shortcut to achieve the same. Is there a setting I'm missing? This is because Alfred v2's selected file actioning has been enhanced to work with any application, not just finder. As such, this can only work with a hotkey as Alfred needs to know which application is focused to take the files from the focused application. With the 'action' keyword, Alfred was the focused application, so Alfred wouldn't know where the files are. JorjGaidin 1 Link to comment
