Collected Alfred 2 workflows

Simple workflows for Alfred version 2 that do not merit their own repository. Note you need the Alfred Powerpack to enable workflows.

Workflows included

Refresh Finder

A straightforward port of Söderhavet’s Refresh Finder utility to Alfred. Use a hotkey or the “refresh” keyword to force Finder to refresh the file listing in the frontmost window. Alternatively, all Finder windows can be refreshed (via another hotkey, or by holding down alt when actioning the keyword).

Tag with Tagger

Ali Rantakari’s Tagger.app is a fantastic (and free) way to tag files according to the OpenMeta standard. This workflow adds a hotkey to trigger it, and a file action for Alfred’s file browser (using the tag keyword).

Tagg’d

A simple file filter companion to the tagging workflow above. Will search OpenMeta tags, application specific tags (as long as they are stored as Spotlight keywords – kmdItemKeywords to the savvy) and Mavericks native tags.

Disk space

An expanded version of Florian Pellet’s disk space workflow. It has a friendlier display (including correct drive icons), handles volumes with spaces in their names, displays the correct name of the system drive and offers actions on the drives (Reveal in Finder by default, Browse in Alfred with the fn modifier).

Google Translate

A version of Florian Pellet’s Translation workflow that handles international characters correctly, both as input and output, treats multi-word queries as phrases instead of as separate queries, and adds a Paste in foreground application action (with the Cmd modifier). It’s also more easily extensible to other languages as the logic is in a central script: adding another language is a simple matter of adding a script filter running

./translate '<language code>'  '<language name>' "{query}" 

in bash (double quotes and escape variables need to be escaped).

Now and Then (the web)

A simple file filter to search all bookmark (keyword web) and web browsing history (keyword hist) files accessible to Spotlight. Currently searches the files generated by Safari and Pinboard.in / Delicious accounts registered with Delish and Webbla. If you’d like it to support other formats, please attach an example of a pertinent bookmark and / or web history file to this issue. Notes:

• History search searches the URL, bookmark search ignores it.
• Delicious and Pinboard tags are searched (Webbla needs OpenMeta enabled; Delish works out of the box).
• JavaScript bookmarklets are excluded from bookmarks searches.

Sleep Display

A mini workflow that does what it says on the tin: sleeping all your displays immediately. Useful for keyboard jockeys whose Mac does not have an Eject key (you will have to set your own hotkey: Macs with an Eject key have the system shortcut Ctrl+Shift+Eject). Mavericks or better, as it uses a version of Peter Bakhirev’s displayctl utility compiled for OS X 10.9.
