rob213 Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 I was hesitating between Alfred and Launchbar because a few years ago, I read the following (ScreenShot below) in Alfred's documentation and decided to opt for Launchbar (using Alfred lightly in parallel) solely because Launchbar file actions apply to the currently selected file in any file manager, not only Finder. As I am migrating back to Alfred whilst keeping Launchbar for file actions, I discovered by testing, and to my astonishment, that in fact Alfred file actions apply to the currently select file in the currently used file manager (I alternate between Pathfinder and ForkLift ), not only Finder. As a consequence, I am in the process of completely migrating to Alfred. Suggestion: modify your documentation accordingly and you may gain more users.

Andrew Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Fun fact: You can even select some text and it'll work too, e.g. select this and use the file selection hotkey: ~/Desktop/ Interesting info though, thanks. I'll look at updating that blog post. rob213 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
