jona Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Hi everyone, I created a workflow to work with the macOS recently used files system. It's essentially the same function like Alfreds "left arrow key"-Gesture to navigate to the recently used files by an App… but without the arrow key and the items appear directly on the keyword/name of the application. ;-) You can also filter down the results using text input. After installing the Workflow you need to configure the Apps you want it to work with yourself. As Examples I included a few Apps, like TextEdit, MindNode and iA Writer. You can download the Workflow here: https://github.com/stroebjo/alfred-recent/releases Hope it's useful to someone. Any feedback is appreciated! tullyhansen 1 Link to comment
carlsen Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Hi, thanks for a great workflow Now I just need to make it work. Since I'm actually looking for a recent files-workflow for MindNode, I would assume that your workflow would work right out of the box. But it doesn't. Since it's MindNode, should I do any changes to your workflow? Link to comment
deanishe Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 The workflow uses the same "recent files" mechanism as Alfred. If Alfred can't find the files, neither will the workflow. The problem is with MindNode. You should contact its developers. Link to comment
jona Posted August 19, 2017 Author Share Posted August 19, 2017 Hi carlsen, the workflow works with MindNode (actually MindNode was the main reason I created id!). When you open MindNode do you have entries in the menu File > Recent entries? That where the workflow get's it data from. There is a macOS preference to disable recent files. Link to comment
