How do I find and edit this script filter

[Richard Kaplan]

 

I am impressed with the usefulness of script filters but puzzled how I can edit one in Alfred 5.

 

This is a workflow to display Keyboard Maestro macros:

 

https://github.com/iansinnott/alfred-maestro

 

 

It installs on Alfred 5 and works well

 

But I am puzzled where the main script is stored.

 

The workflow looks like this:

 

 

 

If I click on the Script Filter section this is what I see:

 

 

 

Where is the actual code/content that drives this script filter - both so I can learn from it and potentially edit it?

Try right clicking on the workflow name in Alfred and choosing Reveal in Finder.

That is  helpful - thank you

 

That reveals two of the underlying scripts.  How is/was the alfred-maestro executable file created and how did the author of this script know to reference that in the script filter step above?

It’s AppleScript, so probably with the Script Editor.

It’s calling its path directly. ./ means the current directory, which in workflows is their own folder.
 

To learn more about the script itself, ask the developer. To learn more about how it’s called, search for an introductory Shell guide.
