MacPorts PATH solutions?

[personalnadir]

As Alfred scripts do not see custom PATHs and MacPorts uses /opt/local/bin as it's install location, I was wondering what the accepted solution was to making sure that Workflows support MacPort installs?

You extend the PATH yourself in your script. In bash/zsh it means adding a line at the top: export PATH="/opt/local/bin:${PATH}".

Thanks, I figured that would be the case. Was wondering if there was a global way to set it for all workflows?

There is not, by design. A predictable environment helps when sharing Workflows or using them on a different Mac. It also reduces the chance of an external Workflow breaking due to a local change.
