Thank you!

That no file gets opened twice is great.

 

I don´t know if this is a stupid question, but

would it be somehow possible to show the count of the remaining files inside alfred?

Nice idea!

Download the latest version, it should have that functionality now

Nice

Can you take this even a step further and show the remaining files below the open button?

So you don´t need to click on count?

 

I really like your workflow!
