Matt83 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Hi I am a long time user of Alfred from when it first cam out, but I haven't delved into the power pack side of things yet and wanted to be able to create an action for Alfred that will create a folder structure on my external HDD. I'm a freelance designer and for every job I create a job folder on my external HDD within a folder called jobs with a unique number and customer name . Within that I usually create some sub folders like "original files" "native files" "files to print" etc. I would like to be able to create this as a command in Alfred and didn't know if it was easy as my coding skills are limited! I have created workflows in the past on systems that you drag and drop certain actions and maybe tweak what its to do, but didn't know if alfred power pack was the same kinda thing? I have had a look around to see if someone has already created something similar on alfredworkflows.com, but there is that many different flows on there its hard to spot. Any help would be appreciated, its just one of those things that would make things a little easier when starting new project. Thanks Matt Link to comment
rice.shawn Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Vitor already created this workflow. Look for it here: http://www.packal.org/workflow/templatesmanager. Packal is the newer place to look for workflows, and it has better organization. Link to comment
dfay Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I have an Applescript set up to build a directory structure which you can find at https://github.com/derickfay/course-creator/blob/master/Generate%20directories.applescript This should be fairly easy to modify with your desired structure. To include a unique # and customer name you could pass these as the query from Alfred. Link to comment

rice.shawn Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Haha Shawn got there while I was typing.... It does appear that we're trolling the forums at the same time. Should I edit my original answer to include the word "FIRST!" in it? Link to comment
