Usage

List files in a spreadsheet with the getfilenames keyword.

You can achieve this task via the Universal Action.

⌥↑ : Add a file to the buffer from Alfred's results ⌥↓ : Add a file and move to the next item in your list of results ⌥← : Remove the last item from the buffer ⌥→ : Action all items in the buffer ⌥backspace : Remove all items from the buffer

After modifying the xslx file generated, you can rename files via the renamefiles command.

Workflow Configuration

All of the following actions can be set via the Workflow Configuration panel :

• Increase the Depth of the search parameter to include files in nested folders.
• Filter out file patterns using regex via the Reject files parameter.
• Modify the extension of your files during the renaming operation by unticking the Safe renaming parameter. Useful to transform a file with .jpeg into .jpg for example.
• The renaming operation can be reversed by ticking the box of Reverse names parameter.

Thank you. Will be live later today at https://alfred.app/workflows/benjaminoddou/file-explorer/.

Shuffled the README around a bit and redid the screenshots because one of them shows the folder’s name in French and they seem to be non-retina (perhaps you took them a while ago)? For future reference, worth pointing out the second screenshot shouldn’t show unrelated items:

Entries from other workflows are distracting and make it hard to discern what the workflow does.

For the screenshot, I typed spreadsheets to ensure only that result was visible.

No changes required on your part, the above is just future information.

@vitorgalvao ah indeed I have the downloads folder in French. I did screenshots on an external display that's probably the reason why ! Sorry for that.
