Alfred 3.3
Build 801, Wednesday 1st February 2017
Clipboard and Snippets• Added new {clipboard:x} placeholder to obtain items from Alfred's clipboard history, where x is the history offset
◦ e.g. {clipboard:0} is latest, {clipboard:1} the previous item and so on
◦ This can be useful for snippets / snippet expansion to perform clever custom merging of the clipboard
• More efficient pre-processing of snippet results when using snip keyword
• Add "Rename" on popup menu for selected snippet collection
• Add "Edit" to popup menu for selected snippet
• Move {clipboard} processing to after {date} / {time} processing for most predictable and consistent output
Workflows• New icons for workflow objects
• Add {date}, {time} and {clipboard}, {clipboard:x} style placeholders to relevant objects
◦ Added to Write File and Large Type Workflow Output objects
◦ Added to Arg and Var / JSON Utility objects
◦ Note that this inherently also adds {clipboard:x} to the Copy to Clipboard Output object
• Added new "Clipboard" Getting Started guide to demonstrate new workflow features
• Fix regression preventing workflow File Action trigger from saving custom action icon
• Improved behaviour when adding Getting Started / example / template workflows, adding to currently selected category
• Updated spell / define input filter to work asynchronously, resulting in smoother performance
• Fix layout issue in Write File object configuration sheet for "Allow empty files" tick box
• Updated "All Workflow Objects" Getting Started guide with new objects
• Updated 'Should I watch this movie' example workflow
1Password• Added vault selection to hide specific vaults from Alfred's results
• Added option to "Only show Logins" if you aren't interested in seeing all 1Password data in Alfred's results
• Added separate columns for 'type' and 'vault' added in 1Password feature preferences
• All 1Password columns are now sortable in the preferences item preview table
• Recognise multiple URLs in a 1Password web login and show separate entries in Alfred's search results
File System• Overhauled file interactions, moving back to using Finder / AppleScript for copy, move and delete
◦ Now gives a more useful feedback notification when the action fails
◦ Correctly deals with permissions and app translocation
◦ Gives Finder progress for larger files
• Improved, simplified logic in file actions view
◦ Now also recognises file packages
• Added default cmd+i shortcut on selected file results to show Finder's Get Info view
• Added 'Macintosh HD' to the default eject blacklist
Alfred Remote• Add new System volume control to System Commands
• Reorganise the System Command popup menu into groups matching workflow System Command
• Update System Command remote page example to include new commands
General Improvements• New icons for File Actions and iTunes Mini Player
• A number of optimisations and improvements to further reduce the distributable size
• Added popup menu when right clicking on Alfred hat in default results which matches status bar menu
◦ Gives Alfred's version number, access to Alfred's preferences, check for updates, quit
• Improved word based searching in Alfred Preferences Web Search / Workflow search fields
• Added new option in Advanced preferences to restore clipboard content after using a hotkey which obtains the current selection in macOS
◦ Note that this isn't the default behaviour as there is a memory implication for buffering clipboard content
• Update LinkedIn built in web search to latest search URL
• Update Rotten Tomatoes and Wolfram default searches to https
• Improve responsiveness by opening files and apps asynchronously in certain scenarios
• Improved calculator number formatting, now properly respecting macOS grouping separator if not forced
