solved Find latest screen shot and copy image to clipboard

[ajburlingame]

As a remote worker, I have to send coworkers multiple screen shots a day as we collaborate on things.

Current behavior

To send my most recent screen shot,

1. I launch Alfred
2. Type 'screen shot'
3. Scan for the most recent time stamp
4. Drag and drop the file from Alfred to Slack

 

Is there a better/faster way? (ideally I could do everything from my keyboard)

 

I remember in an older Alfred version, my file results were sorted by Last Modified, so at least the latest screen shot was always at the top.

 

Thanks!

Welcome @ajburlingame,

 

Seems like RecentlyAdded would fit your needs well. Set it up to use ~/Dropbox/screenshots as one of (or the) directory to check, then use the first option: it shows all folder contents ordered by the most recently added.

This looks great! I changed the directory to ~/Dropbox/screenshots as you suggested but am not seeing any screenshots, just the please wait dialogue. I quit Alfred Preferences and added screen shots after I edited the workflow and that did not work.

 

Any pointers?

 

Thank you so much!

What does the debugger say?

 

Also, make sure Alfred has Full Disk Access.

Now it's working! Thank you Vitor!
