Feature request: workflow can open projects in subfolders about alfred-project-manager HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi @natterstefan,

Thanks for the feedback! Since the workflow only supports a single project directory without recursive traversal, I think it'd be appropriate to look at this more of as a feature request than a bug.

The reason recursive traversal isn't enabled by default is that projects will often contain deeply nested folder structures and the workflow doesn't have a way of figuring out which folders are projects and which are just normal folders.

To allow for namespaced projects as in your case, I am considering adding a recursive traversal option that would look for folders containing .git subfolders, indicating that they're version controlled. For example, if company/project-a/.git exists, company/project-a would show as an autocomplete candidate. Would that work for your usecase?

Hi @natterstefan ,

I've updated the workflow to include the functionality you requested. It's available as version 1.3.0 here.

For your particular use case, I'd recommend setting MAX_PROJECT_DEPTH to 1 to allow for workspaced projects and REQUIRE_DOTGIT to true to avoid false positives in the search results.

With those options, I was able to reproduce your desired output:

Hope you can give it a try and let me know how it works! :)

Hi @bjrnt,

I just downloaded the latest version 1.3.0 and it works. Thank you!

Hi @bjrnt,

thanks for your feedback. I'm sorry I called this a "Bug", as you said this is indeed a "Feature request" instead. The title was changed accordingly.

That would help, yes.

Awesome, I'll test it later and give you feedback! Thanks. That was fast. :)
