Alfred Don't Show Applications

[Pout3731]

I'm trying to make Alfred exclusively show applications that I make in a workflow. I've configured these settings and reloaded my Alfred cache several times. I'm wondering if anyone knows why Alfred keeps showing all of the applications in my application folder.

Why not set up a specific file filter to do what you want?

I don't believe a file filter will work for my purposes because I'm effectively trying to exclude most items from Alfred's default search so it only shows the results I may use. I only have a few applications that I would want to open directly.

But that, really, is exactly what a file filter does.

Can I set a file filter without a keyword? I'm trying to make it so the majority of applications never show up in Alfred.

You could link a hotkey to the file filter and leave the keyword blank in the file filter.
