I really use Alfred a lot. I now was just wondering if I can do somethings with the currently selected file in finder (most of the time move it to a folder, create new mail with this as attachment, open with application xyz etc pp). I think Launchbar and Quicksilver had such a feature.

Any hints are welcome!

Alfred is not AppleScriptable, and I didn't find a built-in function or additional hotkey. – Daniel Beck Feb 4 '11 at 17:42

Indeed there is.

  1. Select the file in Finder
  2. Hold down Command + shift + G

This shortcut can be altered if necessary: Preferences » Features » File Navigation.

The available actions for the selected file then shows in Alfred. This is at the moment an advanced feature and thus requires the Powerpack (12 pounds).

You can also select the file/folder in Finder, then invoke Alfred, type actions and hit return:
