In what ways do patterns of working, as well as work technologies, shape people's lives within and outside work, in particular their life opportunities and their social and natural environment? How might we organize---or seek to reorganize---workplaces so that the experience of work better reflects our shared ethical ideals and normative principles? This volume examines these vital questions in a comprehensive and systematic manner in order to provide much needed theoretical insight and practical guidance in reflecting on the nature, problems, and possibilities of work currently.This book will be of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students and established academics in the areas of contemporary political theory and philosophy, social theory, legal philosophy, labour studies, the sociology of work, practical ethics, critical theory, and political activism.},

[X] I have updated to the latest version of this workflow.
[X] I have tried manually reloading the buffer (Alfred keyword scp, select Force Buffer Reload).

Hmm, it works fine on my end. Thing is, you should either see a "there is no attachment for this entry" message, or get an error notification that the attachment does not exist. Just as safety check:

do the files exist at the location?
are you using the correct modifiers (cmd+option+control)? Is maybe some keyboard mapping app (e.g. karabiner elements) changing the modifiers that are actually passed to Alfred here?
Create a test file at your desktop and set it as attachment file = {/Users/vchris/Desktop/testfile.txt} for one of your entries. Does this work when trying to open it?

No notif whatsoever, the alfred bar doesn't even go away.

the files do exist. (I've also tried with other entries - all other functions work, just not this one.)
correct modifiers - when i click cmd+option+control before the enter - the subtext does change into "Open Attachment File", just that when i press enter, nothing happens.
I've also tried with a linked file too (as opposed to attached files), nothing happens.

I've also tried with a linked file too (as opposed to attached files), nothing happens.

Please elaborate what you mean by "linked files" – this workflow only opens attachments, pdfs, or URLs (in the browser)?

Did you try the test file as I suggested? file = {/Users/vchris/Desktop/testfile.txt}

I added some logging to the latest release: https://github.com/chrisgrieser/alfred-bibtex-citation-picker/releases/download/11.15.1/alfred-bibtex-citation-picker.alfredworkflow

In the workflow window, open the debugger again, and change All information to Core information. Then try once again opening an attachment, and post what appears in the debugging window.

sorry, "linked file" is a zotero terminology - i just now remembered that you don't personally use zotero - disregard that comment. (I don't think that matters anyway)

Installed the newer version, manually changed the one of the .bib entries to point to the desktop file, still, no new log appears. (It's literally a blank screen of logs) :|

massive apologies - i got it now - it's a clash of hotkeys with another app on my machine... sorry!!!
