How do I handle a Script Filter with mixed folder path and URL items?

[hangyi]

Hi everyone, I'm learning the fantastic Script Filter input. One big question from me is how do I handle the arguments output of a Script Filter differently? For example, I have an item with the arg "~/Downlaods" which is the Downloads folder path, while another item with the arg "https://www.alfredforum.com" which is really a URL. If I connect this Script Filter with an Open URL action, it will only work for the second item since its a URL but not for the first one.

 

How can I handle these two items differently?

If that’s your only use case, prepend file:// to the the file paths and make them absolute (i.e. file:///Users/hangyi/Downloads) and an Open URL will handle both.

Otherwise, use a Conditional Utility.
