Go To Here - Alfred workflow

Available on the Alfred Gallery

Alfred forum thread

For the original workflow on which this one was based, see this older Alfred forum thread.

Usage

Quickly switch the selected path in a MacOS Open/Save/Export/Move dialog based on an Alfred selection.

With an Open/Save/Export/Move dialog active, invoke the workflow with one of these methods for selecting a file or folder path:

Search for a file or folder and apply to the dialog via the Universal Action.

Alternatively, get paths for open Finder windows and tabs with keyword gtf, or select a file or folder in Alfred with keyword gth. to apply to the dialog.

Advanced users can also use the External Trigger from another workflow (not shown, see below).

The workflow looks for English-language button titles in the dialog. Non-English users can change these strings in the Workflow Configuration, along with adjusting the speed of execution in case of slower machines.

Call workflow from another workflow

Optionally use the external trigger to call this workflow from another one. For example:

  1. In a separate workflow, add a List Filter, File Filter, or Script Filter. The workflow needs to output a file or folder path.
  2. Add a Call External Trigger Output for outputting the path.
  3. In the settings for that output, click "Workflow Triggers..." and choose the trigger for this workflow.
