Rename File Workflow

[alfredclough]

This workflow simply allows to rename and existing file. The workflow prompts you with a box to enter the new file name. It can handle multiple arguments, so if you pass several files it will prompt you one by one for the new name for each file.

Interesting workflow but I got a "No user interaction allowed" in Mountain Lion.

You should be prompted to change that setting in System Preferences. If you are not, you simply go to System Preferences. Then choose "Security & Privacy." Choose the "Privacy" tab. The select "Accessibility" and allow Alfred 2 to control your computer.

The workflow works perfectly well on Mavericks.

I'm also getting a "No user interaction allowed" on 10.6. I still can't find any features on the System Preferences as described above as it is different on Snow Leopard. Any ideas how to allow access to Alfred?

[alfredclough]

I believe you have to have Mavericks for it to work.

Yeah, I just tested it on my MBP that's running on Mavericks and it works great! Too bad I cannot use it on my main computer that I use for work. Thanks anyway.

It seems to stop working for me. This is certainly one of the most important workflows for me. If there is an update this would be highly appreciated. 

 

Cheers

Hmm. The workflow is working just fine for me. I'm on the latest version of Alfred and OSX.

[Easytiger]

Thanks for the feedback. That is pretty strange as I am also an the latest versions of both.  

 

Here is the info from the debug mode (sorry, im German. It basically says: "end of line expected, but found „"“)

[2016-05-31 13:54:14][ERROR: action.script] 1139:1140: syntax error: Zeilenende erwartet, aber „"“ gefunden. (-2741)

thanks

Had to change tell application "Alfred 2" to search to tell application "Alfred 3" to search and now it's working great on El Capitan.

Great catch. The linked file for the workflow has been updated.
