Workflow Improvements

  • Make Title (keyword input) and Placeholder Title (script / file filter inputs) required workflow input fields to prevent confusion

  • For fixed inputs (from hotkeys / external triggers / remote), correctly respect 'required argument' when arg is empty (i.e., don't action)
  • Change workflow input filter behaviour to prevent unnecessary script execution if argument hasn't changed. Also update trimming behaviour on direct input to match default input
  • Reorganise Alfred's main window for fixed inputs (hotkeys / external triggers / remote) and initially process input to show results or placeholder text
  • Update the workflow examples to have 256 pixels icons for future proofing

  • Fix small memory leak in Alfred Preferences script action sheet (Doesn't affect Alfred core)
