File filter show folders on volume

[philosen]

Hello everyone,

 

I set up a file filter to search a shared afp volume on my server.

Now I would like alfred to show a selection of (or all folders) located on the volume as soon as I type the keyword for the file filter.

 

Is that possible?

 

Thanks!

Nope, afraid not. File Filters don't show any results until you enter a query.

Thanks for the reply. That's a shame, but I figured out a way to use the recent items workflow I found on the forums. Works pretty well so far.

I have a follow up questions: like I said before the file filter searches a shared folder (afp). What I've noticed now is that the first time I type keyword and an argument there are no results, but if I press the backspace a couple of times and start typing again the results show up as expected. Any way around this? Also, I think the recently opened feature per app is not working for files located on the share?
