Check this thread out: http://www.alfredforum.com/topic/8811-how-can-i-combine-two-workflows-that-already-exist/

There you can find the function to upload a picture for an image search Rest is just copy pasta.

Like with Alfred 3 you can set up really easy a file action that you can add to your current one's.

Once done you can search for you file via Alfred and then use the Action on that file or idk combine screenshot with direct upload

 

Hey there, 

I've tried but I'm afraid this is beyond me. I'd like to do it myself though as I think it would help me get better at Alfred. 

 

I've downloaded the file you uploaded ( https://www.dropbox.com/s/bcthmdcc8up9h6q/Google Similar Images.alfredworkflow?dl=0 )

 

and it works but what I can't understand is how to integrate it into this workflow as an option I pick from the list.

Wishlist currently. 

 

- option in list to upload to google image search

- option in list to upload to dropbox and copy link to clipboard

- option in list to upload to yoink. 

 

@Deanishe , where art thou?

[deanishe]

Simple enough to copy this Google images search script into your workflow.

 

No idea about the other two.

Hi  @deanishe

this script you made for me has proven but at some point along the way it stopped working. 

I overcame on issue but changing "Alfred 4" to ""Alfred 5"

But I'm having issues with permissions. I was wondering whether you'd be able to help. I've done a fair amount of troubleshooting but I'm afraid it's beyond me.

Here's the workflow

I have a similar "permission denied" error that cropped up today, also on one of @Deanishe 's workflows [see here ]. 
@bongobong Did you get your's resolved?

When you have a problem with permissions like that, it’s likely that for some reason the file is missing the executable permissions. Which in turn is likely to happen if your sync solution screws those up. For example, the Maestral client for Dropbox can remove the execution bit of everything you sync because it uses the Dropbox API and that doesn’t expose that information.

If you know how to chmod +x in a Terminal, you can do that. If you don’t, it’ll be easier to delete the workflow and redownload/reinstall because that’ll set everything as it was.

Ah – thanks, this at least confirms what happened.

 

I used Box to sync my Alfred prefs – and Box had to be "reset" yesterday, given some unknown issue. That must have caused the issue. I will see what I can manage, in terms of sorting this out.
