Add new feature to turn on/off workflow to allow in Universal Action

[Bhishan]

I have hundreds of workflows and many many Alfred commands. When I selected some text in text editor and went to Universal Action (cmd opt \),

there are too many actions to choose from and many of them are completely irrelevant. It would be better if there are less items to choose from.

 

Suggestion:

Please add a feature so that we can right click a chosen workflow in Workflows tab of Alfred and turn it on or off to be allowed in Universal Action.

Alfred learns from what you choose, so never selecting from irrelevant options will eventually sink them to the bottom.

Even with hundreds of Workflows, it seems weird that you’d have that many with a feature so recent. Could you perhaps have turned on the last two checkboxes on the right under Alfred Preferences → Features → Universal Actions → Actions? Those are off by default and when on add a ton more options because they include Workflows which specifically have not set those actions.

Note this is in no way against the feature request, just checking if perhaps the solution to the end result you seeks couldn’t already be satisfied.

@vitor Thanks for the suggestion. I had somehow selected all workflow keywords and scripts in Universal Action. When I turned them off, now I have manageable amount of items to choose from. Thanks a lot.
