Made a small update concerned with the instructions and the new download location. Usage should be unchanged.

 

To update, download the latest version (same URL) or wait a few days (15 or less) and it’ll prompt you to on next usage, since it uses OneUpdater.

Hi Vitor, I can't get the V21.2 version of this working with the File Action. For example I select an app, bring up Actions, then select remove quarantine and I end up with the path of the app in the Alfred window:

I select that actions and I get this:

 

In the debug pane, showing all information I see this:

 

[13:25:24.672] Logging Started...
[13:25:34.175] RemoveQuarantine[Script Filter] Queuing argument '(null)'
[13:25:34.540] RemoveQuarantine[Script Filter] Script with argv '(null)' finished
[13:25:34.543] RemoveQuarantine[Script Filter] <?xml version='1.0'?><items>

 

The script was sent 'null' which is bizarre as I definitely action the application and it does end up in the Alfred window...

[vitor]

You’re not using the File Action but the Script Filter. Write “remove” there and you should see two options. It happens because you have on Alfred Preferences → Features → Universal Actions → Workflow Script Filters.

Thanks for the prompt reply and for the knowledge and solution to my problem. Offtopic for this thread, but I suppose it would be nice if the Alfred UI could somehow identify these two as different…

Updated to 2022.1.

Workflow is now distributed via the Alfred Gallery. Download the new version from there or update directly from Alfred.

• New repository.
• New icon.
• New About.
• Add configurable keyword.
• Remove OneUpdater in favour of Gallery updating.

Re: Plea to community & @vitor

 

I registered here to ask this question. This workflow has been absolutely invaluable to me, but I want to plea/request for 1 addition. 

When someone uses the keyword "rq", can you (pretty) please add an option for "Remove Quarantine from All" option at the top?  It's not terrible removing quarantine one app at a time, but it would really be useful to have a bulk function.

Thank you!

@Quicksilver What you do is add apps to the File Buffer from the results list, then apply the Universal Action on all of them.

Thanks for this workflow. I installed via Gallery.

 

And thanks for the tip about using the File Buffer!
