canadaduane Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Currently, the Alfred.alfredpreferences/workflows directory consists of files such as: user.workflow.04920F48-D3A5-43EC-A15E-67BE4FBEB864 user.workflow.9F9952DB-FB85-477E-839E-DD5AFB79157D user.workflow.0F14C544-D083-44A4-ABDB-BB1392C53EF7 user.workflow.A235E0D1-5199-4E66-ACBB-2B385EBB231D This format makes it difficult to put the directory under version control and then coordinate development of workflows between software developers. It would be helpful if the directory were structured more like this: Alfred.alfredpreferences/workflows: Chrome Bookmarks/ Google Autocomplete/ Plain Text Paste/ I think this would allow Alfred to advertise itself to developers: if github developers see other "Alfred Workflows" that they like and want to copy, they could fork the repository and tweak or improve the workflows for their own purposes. In the meantime, Alfred Powerpack would become even more desirable. See also the way Sublime Text 2 allows this kind of sharing of packages.

alfredo Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Actually Alfred will pick up any directory in the workflow folder. I created symlinks to my git repository in the workflow folder and it works like a charm. Check out the following script as an example. https://github.com/peteokma/alfred-workflows/blob/master/linker.sh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadaduane Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 Nice, I think this will do the trick. I didn't realize any folder name will do. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdfwarrior Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 This will eventually be resolved by Alfred as well. Don't hold me to this but I believe Andrew has it scheduled before final release of v2 to have workflows folders be named to match the bundle id.

tungdang Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 The solution is to create a link to workflow folder of Alfred which works for me like a charm. But the dropbox sync is broken because I can not sync settings between my work laptop and personal laptop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the dropbox sync is broken because I can not sync settings between my work laptop and personal laptop That's an issue with symlinking and Dropbox, not Alfred. If the symlink exists on both machines, Dropbox will keep the link. If not, it creates a directory instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
