LiamW Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Works excellent. Just had to edit the path as I don't use the default profile in Chrome as I created a new one. But flawless so far, so thanks. The other ones always gave issues. Link to comment
samvlu Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Works perfectly! Finally, Chrome Bookmarks done right! Good work sir. Link to comment
mixterdee Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I have been using Brow for OS X for my bookmarks as it works well with Alfred and, IMO, is better than current bookmark workflow, but I have just tried this and will use this instead of Brow. Thanks. Link to comment
mdreizin Posted May 11, 2013 Author Share Posted May 11, 2013 Thank you very much for your feedbacks. I'm going to add profile support within a couple of days. Link to comment
40-02 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 It works just perfect! Is there any way to add support of chrome's history? I would almost forget about url bar in chrome, If I have history in alfred. Link to comment
dan_djorgi Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Great workflow, thanks mdreizin! Link to comment
mdreizin Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 It works just perfect! Is there any way to add support of chrome's history? I would almost forget about url bar in chrome, If I have history in alfred. I did quick research and here is some technical details: Google Chrome/Chromium application locks "History" database when it is running and it means that if you try to open and search something via database you will get: $ sqlite3 "/Users/$USER/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/History" SQLite version 3.7.12 2012-04-03 19:43:07 Enter ".help" for instructions Enter SQL statements terminated with a ";" sqlite> select * from urls; Error: database is locked sqlite> From my point of view this feature wouldn't useful, because you have to remember to close the application before searching.

Thanks so much for this workflow! (Also, your Alfred site is lovely.) I worked around this problem with my Things workflow by copying the database to a temporary directory, extracting what I needed, then deleting it; it's a hack, but it did the trick with Things.

mdreizin Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 The workflow link does not work. Does anyone have a copy? Could you please try again? Probably there was something wrong with github.io site. Link to comment

politicus Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 (edited) Amazing (Fastest) Alfred's Google Chrome workflow! Some feature requests: Is there a way one can search in a specific folder (ie typing workflow keyword, then the folder's name, then the bookmark we are looking for)? Would be very useful when one have 10000+ bookmarks classified in small folders of 20 or so bookmarks. Would love to be able to delete one or a selection of bookmarks from Alfred Edited November 24, 2013 by politicus 40-02 1 Link to comment
pavel.sakun Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Didn't dig into implementaion, but this one seems to be copying chrome's db and...just works https://github.com/manifestinteractive/alfred-workflows/tree/master/Chrome%20History Link to comment
politicus Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 This one browse through your history not your bookmarks. Link to comment
mdreizin Posted June 30, 2016 Author Share Posted June 30, 2016 I have completely refactored it and you can grab new version from https://github.com/mdreizin/chrome-bookmarks-alfred-workflow/releases Link to comment
kitharington Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Actually searching Google is pretty easy. Just type what you’re interested in finding into the search box on the Google web site or into your toolbar! Link to comment
hstandaert Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Hi, Is there a way to change the keyword that triggers this workflow? I'd like to change the 'canary' keyword to 'b' or something like that. Link to comment
