dterranova Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Just bumping this topic by starting a new thread, which fizzled away like a bad smell To recap: I have 2 machines with shared Alfred prefs (stored on dropbox). Works great for opening most folders that have the same path (i..e ~/Documents). But doesn't work when certain folders have different paths: I.e. mac1: /Volumes/DB/Dropbox/Projects mac2: ~/Dropbox/Projects I'd like to create a workflow (keyword: "projects") that opens the correct "Projects" folder, according to whatever the current machine is. If i were to write this in the language I'm familiar with, this is what it'd look like: if (_currentMachine=Mac1) { openFolder(Mac1.folderA) } else if (_currentMachine==Mac2){ openFolder(Mac2.folderB) } However I'm not advanced enough in Alfred's workflows to understand how to create this, and Applescript even less so. I would gladly pay someone $30 (or whatever's fair for the work!) to write this workflow for me, as I've been dying to get this set up for quite a long time, and for many folders. It's such a missing link in my own workflow and it's hindering other things from advancing. I trust the community here and I'm serious about compensation (if it's too time consuming for me to figure it out). Thanks! Mods: if $ talk isn't allowed in here please let me know and I'll revise the post Link to comment
vitor Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 You seem to want (Language /bin/zsh in a Run Script): if [[ "${alfred_preferences}" == '/Volumes/DB/Dropbox/AppPrefs/Alfred.alfredpreferences' ]]; then open '/first/directory/path' else open '/second/directory/path' fi dterranova and giovanni 2 Link to comment
dterranova Posted April 8, 2022 Author Share Posted April 8, 2022 My bad, I deleted the response. I had a typo. Works great. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks again so much @vitor! This just made my day Is there a way to automate this process with a global variable that stores both paths, across all workflows? For example I have a lot of workflows calling various different folders within "/Dropbox/STUDIO/". If I ever change location of STUDIO, I'd have to manually change each workflow that refs STUDIO and any sub folders. Loaded question probably. Figured I'd ask. Link to comment
